Brent Stephen (pictured, right), president and managing director of Flint Group ANZ, said the agreement also marked a change in direction for the company.

“Traditionally, Flint Group has focused on the packaging sector,” Stephen said. “Moving forward a key focus for the business is to make our products more accessible. This objective is central to our partnering with CPI who has an extensive distribution network in the sheetfed segment.”

“From CPI’s perspective this agreement represents a very important strategic alliance with the second largest supplier to the global printing and packaging industry,” said CPI managing director Bernard Cassell (pictured, left). “It has long been an aim of mine to align CPI with industry-leading supply companies across all the markets we service.  Today’s signing represents this philosophy in action.”

“Expanding our range of products through this agreement with Flint Group will provide our customers with access to their extensive selection of products and further increase our footprint.”
