Wide-format printer manufacturer Agfa Graphics, based in Belgium but with U.S. operations in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, announces that it is the winner in three categories of the “Pini Suppliers of the Year Award” in Brazil, an honor given to the most outstanding suppliers in the printing industry.

Agfa was the winner in the color management software, printing plates and pre-press equipment, systems and CtPs categories. This recognition highlights the company's national and international performance in different areas of printing, offering top-quality service and support to its customers.

The Brazilian Fernando Pini Award for Graphic Excellence was created in 1991. The name Fernando Pini refers to one of the most brilliant technicians in the printing industry in Brazil. The prize is recognized internationally both thanks to the quality level of the printed products presented and also because of the number—more than 1,500 this year—of participating products.

"Once again the graphic industry honors Agfa Graphics with the Pini Prize; not just one, but even three”, says Paulo Amaral, commercial director for Agfa Graphics Brazil. “We always try to work very closely with our customers, helping them with any of their concerns. These awards also stimulate our teams to continue offering quality solutions to the Brazilian market hand in hand with a strong after-sales support.”
