What Array Graphics does

Array Graphics is a privately held industrial printing solutions distributor headquartered in Oud Gastel, The Netherlands. It operates as the exclusive European Master Distributor for norwix Inc., an American manufacturer of Drop-On-Demand OEM solutions for high-speed inkjet printing. The company sells and integrates HP Thermal Inkjet (TIJ 2.5 and TIJ 4.0) and Piezo (iM2/iM4) based printing systems for case coding, flexible packaging, food and beverage, mail and graphics personalisation, pharmaceutical serialization, and OEM equipment integration across Europe.

The product portfolio is built entirely on Hewlett-Packard inkjet technology and includes turnkey coders (UNO, UNO Plus, CORE, iSP), wide-format industrial printers (UC22, PC22, PC108/UC108), colour-capable units (DC108, FC108), the MPP/TOTAL customisation platforms, and board-level OEM Solutions. Differentiated features include HP micro-recirculation print-head architecture, a managed-print system that auto-recognises ink and cartridge types, embedded Vega print-management software, and LED-UV curable inks. The company offers aqueous, solvent, and UV-curable inks plus bulk ink solutions that reduce operational costs by an approximate factor of three versus CIJ printers.

Array Graphics earns revenue through hardware sales (turnkey systems, components, controllers), consumables and ink (including bulk systems), managed-print service contracts supported by lifetime warranties, and OEM component supply. Distribution is run through European OEM and VAR partners, supplemented by direct project engagement for significant OEM integrations. End customers include food manufacturers (Noosa Yoghurt, Kraft Heinz institutional, Nature's Promise), humanitarian operations (Edesia), industrial/forestry firms (Canadian lumber conglomerate), underfloor heating manufacturers, and contract packagers — supported by application case studies and technical white papers. No revenue, headcount, ownership, or funding figures are publicly disclosed.
