Our Mission, Strategy and Value

Our Mission

You could sum it up in a single word, Success.

• Success for our customers.
  
  Our customers know where they want to go. Our role is to develop the technology and provide the support that will allow them to get there. We see it this way. By putting all of our resources into our customers' success, we succeed as well.

• Success for our industry.
  
  While some forms of print are declining, others are growing. We're providing the technology and know-how that allow our customers to swiftly adjust to new market demands and successfully reach new market segments.

• Success for the environment.
  
  We also accept our responsibility to the environment. So that future generations of graphic communicators can also enjoy the rewards of success.

Our Strategy

Innovative technology.

We learn the intricacies of specific processes such as commercial printing and publishing, newspaper production, and digital printing. Then we develop technology to address each application-technology that speeds the workflow and saves money, while increasing quality. Our suite of workflow software, for example, delivers remarkable levels of efficiency. It allows online client collaboration, swift and accurate softproofing. It even reduces ink consumption without sacrificing quality.

Our highly acclaimed chemistry-free and low-chem plate technology is the most widely used in the industry with more than 2500 installations worldwide. Our screening technology allows printers to deliver high-end resolutions with no additional effort. That means they get higher quality that actually saves money.

We've chosen inkjet technology to power our digital printing presses. That's because it can print on nearly any substrate making it highly versatile and cost effective while delivering photographic quality..

Our Value

Invaluable Experience.

• More than 100 years of innovation from the first diffusion transfer film to the first PDF workflow, to the first chemistry-free plate.

• Acquisitions that have kept us ahead by gaining electronics expertise, broadening our plate portfolio, and gaining market knowledge.

• Partnerships that extend our versatility. As a founding member of CIP4 (Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress) Agfa works with other industry leaders to integrate seamless multi-vendor environments.

Complete Solutions.

Success is not just about a single piece of technology. It's about optimizing its efficiency and integrating it into complex workflows to simplify the process. We do more than answer our customers' questions, we give them real-life solutions that offer long-term benefits.

Environmental Responsibility.

It has long been part of Agfa's mission to reduce our impact on the environment. We've changed manufacturing processes and developed technology that eliminates toxic chemicals, reduces waste, lowers ink consumption and saves energy.
