UFABRIK has appointed TSEKMERES GS as its distributor in Greece, extending its European distribution network and bringing its digital textile portfolio to the Greek market.
The partnership will focus initially on supplying textiles for silicone edge graphics (SEG) applications, alongside a wider range of substrates for UV, Latex and dye-sublimation printing.
Founded in 1968, TSEKMERES GS supplies printing equipment, inks, software, substrates and consumables to Greece’s textile, screen and large-format digital printing industries.
The company has longstanding relationships with manufacturers including Fujifilm Specialty Ink Systems, M&R and ATEXCO, and has been an IGEPA Group partner since 2017.
The IGEPA relationship helped establish the new partnership, with colleagues elsewhere in the European network recommending UFABRIK when TSEKMERES GS began looking for a specialist SEG textile manufacturer.
Padelis Tsekmeres, general manager of TSEKMERES GS, said: “We wanted to work with a manufacturer that could deliver the quality and consistency required for SEG applications. UFABRIK was recommended by our colleagues within IGEPA, who have had very positive experiences with its textiles.
“We are still in the early stages of introducing the range into Greece, but the feedback from our European colleagues has given us considerable confidence in the products.”
TSEKMERES GS maintains approximately 1500 product codes in stock, including media, inks and spare parts. The company will apply its existing inventory management approach to the UFABRIK range, supported by technical consultations and on-site testing to help customers optimise print settings for different substrates.
The appointment follows several European distribution agreements announced by UFABRIK during 2026, covering Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Iberia, Finland, the Baltic states and Hungary.
Monika Mourao, European sales director at UFABRIK, said: “TSEKMERES GS brings an extraordinary depth of industry experience to this partnership. Its longstanding relationships with leading manufacturers, extensive knowledge of the Greek market and established customer base make it a valuable addition to our European distribution network.
“Greece is an interesting market for us, particularly as textile printing continues to develop. We look forward to working closely with Padelis and his team to establish UFABRIK in the region and build on the opportunities ahead.”
