Esko joins forces with specialist premedia provider Amagoo to drive packaging automation strategies

Wednesday 24. February 2021 - Esko has entered into an exclusive partnership with Amagoo, the leading Swiss provider of packaging prepress solutions, to support packaging companies on their digital transformation journey with Esko-powered software.

“Amagoo specialises in the efficient delivery of complex packaging projects for its customers,” explains Christopher Weber, Esko Director of Software Solutions for the region. “The company’s premedia service portfolio focuses on delivering consistently high quality and consistency for different packaging formats within the same product line, as well as reducing costs and ensuring optimal throughput. That’s why they are the perfect supplier partners for Esko.”
Weber explains that Esko, the global developer of integrated software and hardware solutions for the printing, packaging and label industries, has built a successful relationship with Amagoo over the years. “Amagoo has been a certified reseller for Switzerland, Austria and Germany since 2018 and has now entered into a new partnership agreement under which they will exclusively offer Esko products to their customer base,” he explains.
“Under the partnership, Amagoo will distribute enterprise solutions such as our flagship workflow software Automation Engine and packaging management platform WebCenter through its headquarters in Arbon, Switzerland,” Weber elaborates. “Amagoo works with its customers to integrate Esko solutions into existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and sets up user-friendly workflows to provide an intelligent, user-friendly and automated way of working.”
“We are delighted to build on the success of our relationship with this exclusive partnership as Amagoo continues to support label and packaging companies in the region on their journey towards digitisation and automation with Esko software solutions,” he says.
Amagoo Chief Executive Officer Dieter Janout says the partnership with Esko was part of its strategic growth plan. “Our mission is to provide outstanding services and simplify the lives of our customers,” he explains. “Esko is leading the way in providing innovative automation solutions for the packaging pre-press industry and we are very pleased to be able to strengthen our relationship with this new and exclusive distribution agreement.”
“Although many operations in the industry have already embarked on their digital journey, the pandemic highlights the importance of workflow automation and enhanced connectivity,” he continues. “Companies around the world have found that automation is a key element in ensuring uninterrupted operations when issues arise due to a lack of on-site staff or restrictions on staff working at the site.”
“The global disabilities highlight the importance of digitalisation, automation and online collaboration in our industry,” Janout explains. “We are delighted to be working closely with Esko to provide our customers across the region with solutions that will enable them to manage the immediate current demands and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.”
