The
World
Choice |
| With a
global product base, world distribution and extensive technical
resources, Coates Screen is the world choice.... the chosen supplier
for products and services for screen and high technology graphics. |
| Global products, global
standards, global responsibilities - Coates Screen recognises that
today's printers and manufacturers operate in an increasingly global
environment. Coates Screen's answer is to provide world-class
products and services locally, through a networks of Coates
locations |
|
| Coates
Screen is part of the Coates Group, which includes
Coates Electrographics and Coates Lorilleux. With annual sales
exceeding $1 billion, the Group is one of the largest suppliers of consumables
and equipment to the graphics industries. |
| Worldwide, there are
over 40 Coates Screen operations, serving national and regional
markets. |
|
In addition to this network of
technical support and sales locations, Coates Screen has three
major research, technical development and manufacturing sites - in
the USA, in Germany and in the UK. |
| These benefit from
close liaison with the Coates Group's extensive Central Research
facilities in the UK. Their role is specific; to both
anticipate and continually respond to world product requirements. |
|
| Markets and
Service |
| Coates Screen's
strength is evident from the breadth of its product package, which
extends from ink and colour management, through screen printing
supplies, to a comprehensive range of advisory and support services. |
|
This strength is as much
the result of Coates' technical skills as its vision to discern current
requirements and future trends and to constantly innovate to meet
customer needs, today, tomorrow and into the future. It is perhaps
most evident in today's 'hi-tech' applications, where the demanding
automotive, medical and electronics industries turn to Coates Screen as
their No.1 supplier. Coates
Screen also leads the field in the printing of glass, CD's and roll
labels, where requirements are exacting and specific. |
|
Elsewhere, in traditional
fields such as graphics, Coates Screen's achievements have broadened
horizons from display printers, particularly in 4-colour process
printing. Coates is not, however, content to rest in its laurels in
the screen industry. It is committed to the graphic arts as a
whole. Consequently, Coates now leads the way in emerging digital
print technologies, and in pad printing. |
|
Similarly, in industrial
applications such as bottle and container print, as well as in textile and
promotional print, Coates Screen leads in performance and support. |
|
At Coates Screen, product
development runs alongside evaluation of mesh types and screen making
materials. Their relationship has always been key to ink
performance. As a result, Coates Screen brings the best in mesh,
chemicals and other materials to the print equation; completing the service
- and the job. |
|

product development. We offer a comprehensive package of
customer support, from assistance in attaining compliance with
environmental and health and safety legislative standards, to the

for example, and the producers of mesh and stencil products.
Our main aim is to broaden screen printing's capabilities,
constantly developing new concepts to provide improved levels of
quality and value. |
