ADAPT AND G-TEC ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP FOR UK DISTRIBUTION OF TOUCHSHIELD™ 

“With a product as versatile as this, we have been seeking selected UK partners with the breadth of experience required to deliver Touchshield™ to every person, in every sector”, commented Will Duggins G-Tec Managing Director. “Dominic Bowen and his team at ADAPT are one of those key partners who tick every box and we are very happy to have them on board.”

Touchshield™ is a unique range of anti-microbial protective films, recently awarded up to 93.41% protection against viruses in accordance with international standard ISO 21702. 

“One of the key features of Touchshield™ is it’s optimum balance of cost and benefit to end-users,”, said Duggins. “It provides the perfect balance of longevity and protection levels at the right price. This product has been designed with print professionals in mind. It is an accesible, protective solution that will see printers becoming service providers every 6 months.” 

ADAPT plan to further support the print trade by producing smaller rolls and lengths from their national distribution centre in Nottingham. This will allow trade companies to consider the new innovative solution in a range of options for their own portfolios. 

“ADAPT have been in discussions for some time with G-Tec about Touchshield™ and we are very happy to be finally working in partnership with them on this amazing product” commented Dominic Bowen, General Manager at ADAPT.  He continues “we see this as a key partnership moving forward on what could be one of our bestselling new products this year. From our national distribution and training centre in Nottingham we will be supplying Touchshield™ by the roll and by the metre”. 

Touchshield™ is available now throughout the UK from ADAPT – Amari Digital Printing Technologies.
