Gietz AG, the Swiss manufacturer of flatbed hot foil stamping and embossing machines, is going to cooperate with Gietz USA LLC to increase its direct representation to existing and new customers in the USA and Canada. Gietz USA is an independent entity, founded recently with the aim to distribute Gietz and associated products. Effective from 2nd July, 2018, Gietz USA is now offering sales and services of the entire Gietz product portfolio from Southington, Connecticut.
With the establishment of Gietz USA, Gietz AG increases its direct representation in the USA and Canada. Gietz machines, services and spare parts will be offered directly and without intermediaries to the North American market to provide the best financial and technical conditions. During a transition phase lasting until the end of 2018, Matik Inc, the long-time Gietz distribution partner for the USA and Canada, will continue to sell spare parts in the territory as before, while Gietz USA will immediately takeover all service of Gietz equipment.
Gietz USA has been founded by Alexander Balke, President and owner. He has over 10 years of experience in the foil stamping and embossing industry. Balke has worked closely with Gietz AG for more than three years and has been factory trained and certified.
