Innovating the Print Industry: How Apex North America and Cyngient Are Leading the Way

Cyngient Philosophy

In an industry driven by precision and innovation, Cyngient has positioned itself as a leader in the Flexographic and Digital print markets. Specializing in coatings, adhesives, inks, and primers, the company’s business philosophy is centered around innovation, customer-centricity, and environmental responsibility. Cyngient’s success is built on its commitment to providing high-quality, tailored solutions that enhance both efficiency and sustainability for its clients. But the company’s achievements go beyond the creation of premium products. Its collaboration with Apex North America, the world’s largest supplier of anilox rollers, plays a crucial role in elevating Cyngient's product offerings. The incorporation of Apex’s GTT anilox technology has helped Cyngient boost its clients’ printing performance to new levels.

Pioneering Innovation through Collaboration

Cyngient's commitment to innovation is evident in its research and development efforts. The company continuously pushes boundaries to develop products that exceed stringent regulatory and environmental standards. By delivering solutions that enhance the efficiency and flexibility of printing processes—whether flexographic, digital, or hybrid—Cyngient enables its clients to thrive in a competitive marketplace. A significant aspect of this approach is Cyngient’s collaboration with Apex, whose GTT anilox rollers have been transformative. Apex’s cutting-edge technology offers precise and consistent ink transfer, reduced ink spitting, and improved print quality across various applications. This collaboration allows Cyngient to fine-tune print efficiencies, resulting in dynamic, repeatable results at lower costs.

 “Our alliance with Apex goes beyond just using their products,” said Jake Chaney, VP of Sales at Cyngient. “It’s about leveraging their expertise to create real, impactful solutions for our clients. Together, we’ve been able to drive innovations that are not only technically superior but also highly cost-effective.”

A Winning Solution: Enhancing Soft-Touch Coatings

A recent success story illustrates the strength of this collaboration. A client approached Cyngient seeking to improve the tactile quality of their soft-touch coating while boosting production efficiency. By working closely with Apex, Cyngient delivered a solution that enhanced the coating's texture, increased press speeds, and reduced waste. “This was a win-win-win outcome,” noted Chaney. “Through close collaboration with Apex, we exceeded the client’s expectations in terms of performance and cost savings. It’s a perfect example of how our combined expertise delivers real value to our clients.”

Staying Ahead of Industry Trends 

As the Flexographic market evolves, Apex and Cyngient remain at the forefront of emerging trends. The growing demand for sustainable printing practices, narrow web applications, shrink films, and folding carton solutions have been key industry drivers. Cyngient’s innovative coatings, adhesives, and inks—when paired with Apex’s GTT anilox technology—help clients achieve superior opacity, transfer, and detail with consistent, repeatable results.

 “Clients today need to maximize print quality and efficiency without sacrificing sustainability,” Chaney explained. “That’s where our collaboration with Apex makes all the difference. Their GTT anilox rolls help our clients achieve exceptional print performance while reducing ink and coating usage at the same time increasing the quality and reducing waste.”

The Importance of Consistency in Print Quality

In printing, consistency is paramount. A single deviation in the process can result in underperformance across the board. By optimizing every element of the print process, Apex and Cyngient ensure that their clients consistently deliver high-quality results.

 Apex’s GTT anilox rollers have been instrumental in this effort, providing smooth and compact ink laydown, reduced cleaning requirements, and fewer anilox changes. This enhanced level of liquid transfer has boosted the performance of Cyngient’s products, particularly in applications involving intricate coatings or high-opacity inks.

“Achieving consistent results is what sets great printers apart from the rest,” Chaney stated. “Our collaboration with Apex ensures that our clients have the tools and technology needed to maintain the highest levels of print quality every day.”

Shaping the Future of Printing 

The Cyngient-Apex relationship is more than a collaboration—it's a roadmap for the future of printing. Together, these companies are pioneering innovations that meet today’s demands while setting new standards for tomorrow. By combining Cyngient’s expertise in coatings, adhesives, and inks with Apex’s knowledge of liquid transfer and the groundbreaking GTT anilox technology, they are providing clients with unparalleled print performance, efficiency, and sustainability.

“At Cyngient, we’re not just focused on the present—we’re shaping the future of printing,” Chaney concluded. “Our collaboration with Apex is a key part of that vision, allowing us to deliver solutions that make a real difference for our clients and the industry as a whole.”

Together, Cyngient and Apex are leading the charge in the Flexographic market, delivering innovative solutions that empower clients to excel in a rapidly changing landscape.
