Sensient Imaging Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of digital inks, has announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Spot Uluslararasi Tekstil for the Turkish market.
Founded in 1991 and based in Istanbul, Spot Uluslararasi Tekstil will help promote Sensient’s range of high-quality digital textile inks throughout Turkey.
“Spot Uluslararasi Tekstil is an experienced partner with a strong reputation for quality and service that matches the values of Sensient and the professional service and commitment we expect for our clients,” notes Jerome Jeanneret, managing director of Sensient Inks Europe. “We believe that this appointment will make Sensient a leading provider of digital textile inks for the Turkish markets and allow existing and new customers to truly experience the quality of Sensient.”

In addition to its agreement with Spot Uluslararasi Tekstil, Sensient will maintain its direct supply of products to strategic partners and has appointed a Turkish sales manager to ensure the very best communication and service to all of its customers.
“We recognise the importance of the Turkish market as a centre of excellence in textile printing with strong growth potential,” says Mike Geraghty, president of Sensient Colors. “By adding local management and a quality-focused distributor to launch our new ranges of innovative inks, we are demonstrating Sensient’s commitment to the success of our customers in Turkey.”
Sensient has required a new Turkish distributor since it terminated its relationship with SY Digital in July, after it was accused of misleading customers. During that time Sensient also opened new warehousing and distribution channels in Turkey, which it now aims to utilise further following its deal with Istanbul-based Spot Uluslararasi Tekstil.
The digital textile printing market in Turkey is well-established and despite economic and political uncertainty in the country, the market remains an important one for global suppliers. Sensient’s new distribution agreement is evidence of this.
