 Background |
Chemical Dispersions
Incorporated, also known as CDI, was established through the vision
of six entrepreneurial Philippine businessmen, who at the time recognized
the potential for growth in the field of ink manufacturing. Dating
back to 1964, CDI Sakata Inx Corp. has made a name of its own as
synonym of quality printing inks and coatings.
As a leading
manufacturer of said products, CDI Sakata thrives and continues
its steady growth even under today’s rapidly changing business
climate. The company counts with its own manufacturing plant in
the Alabang Hills in Metro Manila. Its reputation for quality has
resulted in capturing a large segment of the Philippine market to
include The Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, Manila Times
Publications, and San Miguel Corporation's Metal Closure and Lithography
Plant.
To keep abreast
with the demands of its varied clientele, the firm constantly upgrades
its manufacturing capabilities by installing new machinery and further
improving its laboratory testing facilities. Through the acquisition
of the rights to various web offset inks and related graphic supplies
from companies abroad, CDI Sakata Inx is able to support its market's
needs for a full range of printing processes - offset, letterpress,
metal decoration, flexo, gravure, and screen-printing.
