Durst, in a joint venture with sales partner Ceradecor, has set up a new enterprise called VetroCer based in New Delhi, India.
Durst and Ceradecor have installed in excess of 40 Durst Gamma ceramic printers and provide a service structure with 18 employees. Via VetroCer this partnership will include an additional Durst segment: The Durst Industrial Inkjet Application segment offers industrial inkjet printer systems for the decoration of glass to expand the potential range of applications of glass as an element for architecture, the automotive industry, design studios and interior designers.
Durst first presented the new Rho VectroCer Glass Printer at the international trade fair Glasstec 2014. With this the print is processed with inorganic inks, produced by VetroCer. The ink formulation and quality control will be carried out by the ink lab of the Durst Research
and Development Center in Lienz, Austria.
“We are very pleased to intensify our successful partnership with Ceradecor,” said Christoph Gamper, CEO of Durst Phototechnik. “This joint venture demonstrates our mutual confidence to achieve our common business objectives together. Ceradecor supplies the required know-how for the ink production and has been working together with our research department for some time now. The combination of our competences for glass printing will once again result in a successful implementation of Durst's feature single source concept.
