CMYUK to fill Paperlinx void

Following the demise of Paperlinx UK, it has been announced that digital print specialist CMYUK is stepping in to take over exclusive distribution of ATP Adhevise Systems AG’s self-adhesive media range, formerly part of Paperlinx’s dtec media line.

CMYUK will be selling the range under the manufacturer’s name, and all items are available immediately with an introductory 5 percent discount on first orders.

Jon Price, group director at CMYUK comments: “We’re delighted to have secured the UK rights to the ATP brand, as we know the products are of the highest quality and have been sold in the UK for many years under the dtec brand. 

“Following Paperlinx UK’s insolvency announcement, there were many businesses unable to access the media. However, we’ve worked with ATP to ensure continuity for end-users and guarantee the uninterrupted supply of these leading products.”

ATP’s Managing Director, Daniel Heini, adds: “We are delighted to be entering the next phase in our company’s development cementing a new partnership with CMYUK.

In another blow to the already largely non-operational Paperlinx UK, a further 70 redundancies have been announced at some of the remaining five sites, leaving about 260 employees after the latest cuts. The administrators at Deloitte are still in negotiations with potential buyers for the UK firms, with different parts of the business being split up and sold separately looking like the most likely outcome.
