Ultrachem and Van Son announce an important strategic alliance on sheet-fed inks

Wednesday 03. December 2014 - Ultrachem, one of the UK's largest independent consumables suppliers, will be stocking and promoting the Van Son VS range of sheet-fed inks with immediate effect.

Based in the Netherlands, Van Son has built a reputation for both innovation and high quality printing inks. Specifically they focus upon ensuring industry leading batch to batch consistency and unrivalled performance whether their ink is being run on older printing units, or a state of the art 10 colour press.
Initially Ultrachem will be offering the VS1 conventional sheet fed ink series to its UK customers. The VS1 series has been designed to perform flawlessly on any size press offering intense consistent colour, rapid setting and drying times, resulting in exceptional rub and scuff resistance. The range is available in 2.5 kg tins, 2 kg cartridges and 200 kg drums.
Janet Brinton, Ultrachem Director commented, “the addition of VS1 to the Ultrachem sheetfed portfolio represents the start of an exciting and significant partnership with Van Son. We will be working with Van Son to widen the VS portfolio early next year with some innovative new products.”
Wim van Mastright, Managing Director for Van Son reiterated the importance of this partnership, “The VS range has been designed for total consistency – but of course it is not always just about the product we also needed a distributor in the UK who has true national coverage from a logistics and technical support perspective. Ultrachem is the ideal partner in both these respects and we are looking forward to growing the VS range with them over the coming months”.
