Zaikio wins another big name for Zaikio Procurement with Antalis

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is adding Antalis, the leading European distributor of paper and industrial packaging, to its Zaikio Procurement platform.
Zaikio, a Heidelberg subsidiary, is an open platform that enables the entire printing industry (printers, customers, brand owners, suppliers, software producers, and equipment manufacturers) to communicate and share data. By joining the platform, Antalis is looking to give existing and new customers digital access to company-specific procurement data. Other partners, such as MIS providers, are also set to benefit from easy access, meaning print shops can operate directly from their centralized system.

As a market-leading European paper wholesaler, Antalis is one of the printing industry’s big players. “It’s important to us to find solutions to the challenges and problems printers face. With Zaikio Procurement, we’re aiming to give all print shops direct access to suppliers’ material and price lists. This will facilitate costings and orders, and also automate processes. Antalis is an important partner to have on board, helping us turn this vision into reality,” says Christian Weyer, Managing Director Technology at Zaikio.
