The total output value of the world printing ink industry is 13 billion U.S. dollars and the total output is 3 million tons. The first is the United States, about 1 million tons; Japan is the second, about 450,000 tons; Germany is the third, about 370,000 tons; the Chinese market is about 200,000 tons, ranking fourth.
In the United States, offset printing inks account for half of the total market share, flexographic inks account for 20%, and digital and gravure inks account for 10%.
In Europe, flexographic inks are used more widely, and the Japanese market for digital printing inks is even larger. With respect to some digital printing and non-pressure printing, it has shown the greatest growth rate. In addition, other environmental friendly inks are water-based inks, UV-curable inks, and electron beam-curable inks. These inks have higher formulating requirements than traditional solvent inks.
Global industrial mergers and combinations In recent years, the wave of industrial mergers and cooperation will inevitably affect the ink industry and allow the ink industry to reform and combine. For example, in the last two years, Sun Chemical and Flint Ink have cooperated more extensively in the supply of ink for certain small varieties. In the world ink market, Japan has Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., Daeki Ink Chemical Co. (including its subsidiary Sun Chemicals Co., Ltd., and Gao's Lowry Co.), and BASF Printing Systems Co., Ltd. in Europe; and Flint Ink Co., Ltd. in the United States. The five companies will occupy 40% of the world's ink market sales.
In terms of combination, take Flint as an example. Let's take a look at the company's several big actions:
(a) The Schmidt Brothers Ink Company in Germany was incorporated into Flint European Ink Company and has been confirmed by the US MI/USA. After the merger, the company name was Flint/Schmidt Co., Ltd., and the Et CoKG company Frankfurt/Main (Frankfurt/Main) was also merged. This became a tripartite European printing ink branch of Flint. The company employs 1,500 people and last year produced more than 450 million euros. Flint Europe is located in Wolvekhampton, United Kingdom. As a result of the integration of the Flint Group, its original Nordic or Canadian solvent division (a subsidiary of Schmidt) was closed in May 2002.
(b) To meet the growing demand for UV/EB inks in North America, these inks can be used for corrugated board printing and label printing. Flint also established a new factory in Toronto. The new plant covers an area of ​​86,000 square meters, starts 7 days a week, and is continuously produced 24 hours a day. In this way, Flint can completely meet customer needs. The new products they developed are: ARROWBEAM, MATRIX and GEMINI. The three series of ink products are special mixed type EB inks. MATRIX inks use UV curing series of raw materials, and their use parameters range from a wide range of parameters. The GEMINI ink series is a hybrid offset ink series that uses a common oil-based ink and UV-curable ink process.
Flint Ink is the world's largest private ink manufacturing company. Founded in 1920, Flint Ink is currently the second largest ink company in the world with an annual sales value of US$1.4 billion. The company employs more than 4,000 people and has more than 100 branch offices worldwide. Products include: sheetfed and web offset inks, flexo inks, gravure inks, UV/EB inks, and digital printing inks. (Flint recently cooperated with the newspaper newspaper printing centers of the four newspapers in Beijing. Special reports have already been made in China and will not be repeated here.)
European ink manufacturing industry is faced with the impact of economic recession and market depression. It is necessary to reduce costs and increase labor productivity in order to jump out of losses (that is, jump out of the deficit).
The face of unfavorable economic conditions will inevitably cause the re-combination spontaneously from the management of European ink companies. The countermeasure they take is:
Adding variety - AKZO Nobel invested €190 million in its ink factory in the Netherlands in November 2001 to make it operational. And add new products - wide label cover varnish.
AKZO Nobel Company decided that ink production could not just stay in the main business product, because the company has not yet become a global leader in the industry.
Expanding the portfolio - BASF Printing Systems focused on expanding its portfolio of companies last year. Combines printing inks, printing plates, and ink pigments into a single subdivision.
BASF is the only manufacturer that produces inks and printing plates. Its expertise, and its overall evaluation, are attributed to technological innovations. This includes materials from raw materials to final products, and a total of polymers that can be used in inks and printing plates. Can make color adjustments and paper tests.
