“A promise is a promise,” so says the business philosophy of NDigitec, the region’s premedia and production powerhouse – and things just got even more promising with the announcement of its new strategic partnership with the Global Premedia Network (GPN).
Boasting a robust and highly diversified portfolio, NDigitec offers a deep understanding of the packaging market and broad international coverage to support its clients across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The GPN, meanwhile, covers a network of packaging premedia providers that is both globally coordinated and locally rooted, making it unique in both scale and capacity.
“NDigitec is perhaps the largest and most innovative premedia provider in the Gulf Region, servicing over 400 international customers,” said Vatche Kavlakian, NDigitec CEO.
“Since our inception, we have been following the same business philosophy that ‘A Promise is a Promise’, and our teams work around the clock to ensure that we always deliver what we’ve committed to.“This is one of many common values which we share with the GPN partners.”
NDigitec operates from locations in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, while the GPN is impressively expansive. Established just last year, it already encompasses more than 35 manufacturing facilities across all six inhabited continents and can call upon the talents of a tremendous pool of experienced industry professionals working with 11 strategically located manufacturing partners.
Accordingly, the GPN offers brand owners a new option for managing high quality and consistent premedia services globally. The announcement of the new partnership signifies the continued growth of an unparalleled global initiative started a year ago by the two premedia providers; family-owned American company CSW Inc, and Finland-based Marvaco Ltd, the market leader in the Nordic region.
These GPN partners have created a model to better serve international FMCGs by uniting and technically aligning multiple international members. The GPN is a platform for its partners to grow their business, develop capabilities and deliver consistent end-customer experiences. “Synergy and collaboration between our members are critical to our shared success,” said Kai Lankinen, Marvaco’s Executive Partner.
“With an advanced partner like NDigitec, the GPN’s clients will have even more options for rapid local response and the seamless transfer of premedia services in fast-growing markets. “ We’ve been searching for a partner in this geographical region and are thrilled that NDigitec is joining us today.
Shahe Kavlakian, NDigitec Executive Manager, concurred: “This partnership aligns our company vision with GPN’s strategy on so many fronts and ultimately will further help our mutual customers to make better procurement decisions and shorten their time to market on a truly global scale. “It’s our utmost pleasure to be a part of this network and to be able to combine our expertise and services for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Established in 2005, NDigitec achieved incredible growth and continues to expand its service portfolio with further workflow automation, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, machine learning and big data analytics
The world is constantly evolving and so are the needs of international FMCGs, which expect a streamlined packaging cycle, flexible scheduling and scalable capacity. Today’s brand owners are looking for global coordination and local technical support to ensure their brand specifications are met in the field, everywhere they engage in packaging procurement.
“A single premedia company, no matter how big, is no longer able to provide cost-effective and timely services at such scale,” said CSW CEO Laura Wright. “There is a need for a new model of premedia provider which still plays a central role in their customer’s packaging journey but at the same time is able to seamlessly collaborate with others beyond regional or national boundaries.
“At the GPN, we’re making this leap together, embracing and investing in our individual infrastructures and our shared capabilities. “NDigitec is a great example of a forward-thinking premedia company and we are honoured to be associated with them.”
