GEW, the UK-based manufacturer of UV curing systems for printing, coating, and industrial applications has appointed Tunis-based Industry General Trading (IGT) as the exclusive distributor of GEW equipment, service, and spare parts for Tunisia and Algeria. The partnership is a strategic addition to GEW’s worldwide network of distributors.
Founded by Ahmed Driss in 2009, IGT is an established supplier of raw materials, accessories, and consumables for flexible packaging and label converters. They supply flexible packaging substrates, UV and LED curing systems, lamps, antistatic and corona equipment, alongside equipment for converting and shrink sleeves, printing cylinders and pressroom consumables, and quality control equipment.
Having built a reputation in the industry for strong technical knowledge and reliability, IGT is now one of the major suppliers to the printing industry in the Maghreb region.
David Lyus, GEW’s International Sales Manager with responsibility for the Maghreb, highlights the benefits that IGT’s appointment will bring for customers: “We have worked with Ahmed since 2009, when he began servicing GEW’s VCP installations in the field. He is a long-standing, experienced partner who knows our UV and LED systems extremely well, and with his focused support, our customers can expect enhanced sales and service support, and faster delivery times for GEW spare parts and consumables. This will be combined with excellent service in the field, so our customers can expect efficient and responsive technical support.”
