Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, UK 28 April, 2015 Industrial Inkjet Ltd is expanding into Africa on a new growth path following sales rises of 60% across the world in the last year.

The inkjet technology pioneer, known as IIJ, will be exhibiting at Fespa Africa at the Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg, from 22-24 July, 2015.

Today, IIJ is also announcing a strategic partnership with Nipson and Inkjet Technology Solutions, based in Durban, which is run by Pieter Le Grange. His contacts in the South Africa and Africa print markets are second to none, according to IIJ founder and managing director John Corrall.

“All the feedback we receive is that the Africa market is ripe for introducing new technologies such as our industrial inkjet systems that are proving ever-more popular at an increasing number of sites across the world,” said Mr Corrall.

“Pieter is highly respected and has an unrivalled network of print contacts in the marketplace. Together with our efficient, reliable systems, we are sure that this new partnership will ensure that many new print customers will benefit from our expertise and products. We expect to make further significant announcements in the near future.”

Mr Le Grange, Managing Director of Nipson and Inkjet Technology Solutions Africa, said: “IIJ, with its award-winning systems, will help printers open up important new revenue lines, particularly as more and more people want one-stop printing. Its kits are so competitively priced that they could also go on to old web offset technology lines, not just provide added functionality to newer systems.

“There are massive opportunities in Africa for companies such as IIJ to develop, particularly as so many printers don’t have huge funds for investment in expensive systems but want to provide a wider range of services.”

He added: “IIJ has a similar ethos to us in that it’s a company with world-renowned expertise that can make possible what many would term ‘impossible’. We’re proud to be in partnership.”
