ROSELLE, IL, U.S.A. — March 11, 2025 — M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. is pleased to announce a significant development in its longstanding partnership with Nazdar SourceOne. Effective immediately, Nazdar SourceOne has been granted exclusive distribution rights for M&R’s industry-leading products in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. This expansion enhances Nazdar’s reach within the United States and underscores both companies’ commitment to the screen printing and garment decoration industry. The announcement aligns with M&R’s 40th-anniversary celebrations, marking yet another milestone in its legacy of innovation and excellence.
Nazdar SourceOne has been a dedicated and influential partner of M&R for over three decades. What began as a dealership relationship has evolved into a true strategic partnership built on shared values and a mutual commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology, chemistry, and manufacturing solutions. With deep expertise across multiple printing disciplines, Nazdar has established itself as a global leader in print technology through its innovative ink systems. This partnership has flourished, integrating M&R’s advanced graphic and textile screen printing solutions with Nazdar’s pioneering ink formulations.
“In the ever-changing landscape of the print industry, our partnership with Nazdar has remained a cornerstone of innovation,” said Danny Sweem, Chief Executive Officer at M&R. “Nazdar’s technical expertise and forward-thinking approach continue to drive advancements that benefit our customers worldwide.”
This collaboration has reached new heights with the introduction of the POLARIS™ Industrial DTG Platform, a breakthrough in direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. POLARIS has set a new standard in the industry with its unmatched print quality and speed, made possible in part by Nazdar’s advanced ink and pretreatment solutions. This synergy extends to the POLARIS S4 Digital Pretreat Unit, which revolutionizes the application of pretreatment by delivering precise volumes only where needed, further optimizing efficiency and quality.
Additionally, M&R’s expansion into Direct to Film (DTF) printing with the QUATRO™ series has been made possible through Nazdar’s rapid development of a high-performance ink system. These collaborative innovations mark the evolution of Nazdar from a trusted supplier to an indispensable innovation partner.
Commenting on this expanded partnership, Richard Bowles, President and CEO of Nazdar, stated:
“Our partnership with M&R has been built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect over the past 30 years. This expanded partnership is a key component of our national expansion strategy. By combining M&R’s cutting-edge equipment with Nazdar’s technical expertise and industry-leading portfolio of products, we are confident that we can help our customers achieve new levels of success.”
