Xennia
www.xennia.comXennia Technology Ltd was created in 1996 as an independent inkjet research and development company. Ten years on, its focus on the industrial sector has given it a breadth and depth of understanding in the field that is second to none. Unlike most inkjet integrators, who are engineering led, Xennia’s understanding is that chemistry is the key to unlocking the potential for inkjet as a reliable printing or dispensing tool for a wide range of industrial applications.
With an experienced team of inkjet chemists, and engineers, wt delivers chemistry driven solutions designed to meet customers’ specific and unique requirements.
Xennia’s approach is flexible and customer focused. It provides a one-stop contract development service for new inkjet applications from initial proof of concept through fully functional prototypes. Manufacture, integration and global support of customized production printers and inks is provided by its product supply, XenJet. XenJet also supplies a range of proprietary print engines, peripherals and inkjet development tools.
