Anderson & Vreeland Forms Photopolymer Team Anderson and Vreeland, Inc (A&V) has formed an internal Photopolymer Business Development Team. This team is designed to better develop A&V’s portfolio of flexographic plate making materials. A&V is reportedly the only North American man- ufacturer and distributor of both liquid and sheet photopolymer, making it possible to offer a com- prehensive range of products including liquid pho- topolymer, engravable plates, thermal plates, letter- press, water wash and solvent wash solutions. Strong Foundation To build a stronger foundation, A&V has promot- ed three polymer representatives to lead the AVan- tage, Toyobo and XSYS polymer product lines. Leading the team is Larry Dingman, a former West Regional Manager at Anderson & Vreeland and a previous territory manager for Flint Group Flexog- raphic products. Working alongside Dingman are Paige Sokolnik and Bryan Thrasher, both former Account Manag- ers in the Southern region. The objective of the Photopolymer Business De- velopment Team is to provide more value to A&V customers and prospects by gaining a deeper un- derstanding of their goals and needs in order to provide expert guidance in selecting the most suit- able photopolymer options tailored to each cus- tomer’s specific operation. Anderson & Vreeland, Inc. is a privately held com- pany with more than 60 years of experience in the flexographic printing industry. Corrugated Life Cycle (Cont’d from Page 5)
