NUR Asia Pacific Ltd. Signs Letter of Intent with Mitsui & Co. Graphic System
Ltd. for Distribution in Japan
SHANGHAI, China, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- NUR Asia Pacific Ltd., the Asian-based
subsidiary of NUR Macroprinters Ltd. (Nasdaq: NURM - news), today announced the
signing of a letter of intent with Mitsui & Co. Graphic System Ltd. (MGS) for
the distribution of NUR Macroprinters' wide and superwide digital printers in
Japan. Negotiations to result in the signing of a formal distribution agreement
between the two companies are expected to conclude soon. The relationship was
brokered by the Israeli-Japanese investment bank, Triangle Technologies.
MGS, a subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., one of Japan's leading trading
companies, is a company involved in system integration for the pre-press and
digital printing market. The company has skilled software and hardware engineers
as well as a large customer base in the Japanese printing industry.
As digital technology continues to take hold in the Japanese printing industry,
MGS expects a sizable business for NUR's products in Japan. The company has
decided to enter the new market for wide and superwide format digital printing
systems and looks forward to becoming a distributor of NUR's products in Japan.
Upon signing the letter of intent, Amir Noy, Managing Director of NUR Asia
Pacific Ltd., said, "We intend to take a large share of the superwide format
market in Japan with the NUR Blueboard HiQ and MGS is very well suited to help
us realize this ambitious goal. Its understanding and involvement in the market
are unparalleled."
Junichi Kaneyoshi, Product Manager from MGS's Marketing Department, commented,
"The combination of the significant advantages of NUR Macroprinters' products
with MGS's well-trained sales people, skillful support engineers and the
existing MGS customer base, convince us that the new agreement between the two
companies will bring an unmatched level of satisfaction to customers in Japan."
<PAGE>
"MGS is a particularly appropriate partner for NUR due to its strong presence in
the Japanese printing market, commented Yoshinori Oikawa of Triangle
Technologies in Israel. "However, MGS has the added advantage of having the
support of the giant trading company, Mitsui & Co. Ltd., which can provide
important alliances for NUR with large business partners in Japan," explained
Mr. Oikawa.
NUR Macroprinters Ltd. is a world leader in the development, manufacturing,
marketing and servicing of wide-format inkjet printing systems and consumables,
with its shares trading on Nasdaq under NURM. The company's printers are
marketed principally to commercial printers, media companies and screen printers
