Digital print media supplier, Ultraflex Europe, has been acquired by Endutex
Portugal-based technical coated textile group, Endutex, has expanded its distribution into the UK with the acquisition of Ultraflex Europe.
Founded in 1970, Endutex has production facilities in Portugal and Brazil and distribution branches in Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, and Germany. The company focuses on the production of polyurethane, PVC, acrylic, and silicone-coated media products up to five metres wide.
This established distribution network along with a diversified product portfolio means that Endutex exports around 85%.
Ultraflex Europe was founded in 1995 and has been selling large-format media since this area of print came about. In 2020, the company acquired Mayday Graphic Products and added litho customers and self-adhesive vinyl products to its portfolio.
It was Ultraflex’s strong customer base, good market image, and knowledgeable staff and service that attracted Endutex, and the business will be rebranded to Endutex UK as of this month.
Stock is available at Endutex UK’s 18,000sq ft Cambridgeshire facility as well as from Soyang UK.
Clint Green, managing director of Ultraflex Europe, comments: “We are delighted to confirm that the acquisition has now gone through. We have been part of the US-based Ultraflex business for the past 30 years but, for many years, have been a very separate trading company with little trading synergy between us.
“Endutex, however, is a great fit for the UK Ultraflex business, with innovative complementary products to add to our portfolio. This acquisition will make us a wholly owned distributor for Endutex in the UK.”
