History of Asian Printmedia Consultancy Group Inc.  
 

Asian Printmedia Consultancy Group Inc. (APC), incorporated in May 2006, is an organization with a mission to provide technical expertise through training and consultancy, improve quality, efficiency and profitability of graphic companies. The team behind APC consists of experienced, well-educated consultants from graphic industries worldwide. APC has been involved in training and consultancy projects in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, China, Russia, Indonesia, Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, the Philippines and West European countries.

APC offers tailor-made solutions to printing companies who want to keep up with the rapidly changing demands of the market and its customers. These solutions consist of four main activities: Training, Consultancy, Interim-management and Standardization.

Training and support provided by the suppliers of new equipment is often not sufficient, because suppliers cannot anticipate on the specific needs and characteristics of every particular company. APC's tailor-made training projects in combination with the 'train-the-trainer' principle are specially adjusted to the problems where managers in the graphic industry want to realize improvements. Asian Printmedia Consultancy Groups also invested in a training center equipped with print simulator technologies (i.e. SHOTS sheetfed-offset training simulators), up-to-date audio-visual equipments, computer hardware, testing and measuring instruments, printing systems to confirm and validate what it teaches. It's the only facility of its kind in the Philippines. In this facility, APC trains operatos on technical aspects, from basic up to advanced level. APC also provides training in the area of organizational matters for the middle management.

APC is the Philippines' leading consultancy group concerning standardization. In May 2007, APC was the first to successfully finalize an ISO 12647-certification project in Asia for several companies. APC has now set ground in Asia for good and its presence as a knowledgeable firm has already been noticed far beyond the Philippine shores.

After being partners with Sinapse for many years already in providing train-the-trainer product support, APC is proud to be appointed full distributorship for Sinapse press-simulator software in Asia and all the training and technical support that comes with this responsibility. This include the titles of "Sinapse Certified Trainer" and "Technical Support Managers for Sinapse Print Simulators for Asia-Pacific."
