Packaging premedia providers csw and marvaco Form the global pre-media alliance

American pre-media provider, CSW, Inc., and North European pre-media provider, Marvaco Ltd., announced today the launch of the Global Pre-Media Alliance (GPA) that will offer brand owners a new option for managing and procuring high quality and consistent packaging pre-media services and tooling for multiple print categories around the world. The Alliance will initially roll out with strategically located manufacturing and field service sites on every continent except Antarctica.

 “This is a network unique in scale and capacity, comprised of fully independent but technologically connected service providers”, commented Scott Ellison, CSW’s President. “The technological synergy between our partners, their manufacturing locations and in-depth knowledge of the local converters will help brand owners to maximize shelf impact, improve visual consistency and dramatically shorten their time to market across international boundaries.”

CSW’s CEO, Laura Wright, observes, “This is an exciting opportunity for CSW, Marvaco, and our customers and partners to expand operations to a truly global level while using complementary knowledge to advance capabilities. The members of our alliance were invited based on being privately owned, maintaining the highest level of operational, quality, business ethics and ecological practices. Together we are fully committed to our customers’ success and the advancement of our industry.”
