Joe Bartolacci, CEO of Matthews International
Matthews International’s subsidiary SGK, a global brand development, activation, and deployment company, has partnered with Hybrid Software. The Cloudflow workflow solution will be used by SGK facilities worldwide.
Earlier this year, the company installed more than 400 seats of Hybrid’s Packz PDF editor in its production facilities while performing an extensive pilot, code-named ‘Shockwave’, which tested Proofscope and Cloudflow for live automated production in selected facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. The software has now been deployed for live production worldwide.
Joe Bartolacci, CEO of Matthews International, commented, ‘Major brands and CPGs have been asking for faster turnaround, greater accuracy and global real-time visibility utilising native PDF formats to help them manage their brands around the world. We knew that only SGK had the global scale to deliver this solution.
‘Cloud-based infrastructure for workflow and file management systems was essential to our solution but not available off-the-shelf from any other industry partners. We began searching for a software company that could become a long-term partner, able to integrate with our new SAP system and end-to-end Service Delivery Platform, which will accelerate speed to market and improve efficiency at all levels of the packaging supply chain.’
Mr Bartolacci concluded, ‘With Hybrid we are now able to seamlessly manage our clients’ packaging workflow from our desktops to any printer in the world, giving our clients complete reliability and improved speed to market.’
