The manufacturing company bagged the orders from Zircon Technologies for Variflex and Sel-Jegat Printers for X-Flex.

Paolo Grasso, area sales manager at Omet, said, “India is a growing market and we believe in it. The installation at Zircon will be one of the biggest in India.”

Grasso added, “With the advent of new technology, we need to educate the Indian label convertors, as the label printing business is not simple. It is complicated. There are multiple variants in the process.”

Meanwhile, Omet recently installed X4 label press at Hyderabad-based Arunodaya Print Pack.

The 300+ strong organisation currently has three label presses and four sheet offset presses and specialise in production of mono-cartons, labels, leaflets etc. and their clientele is spread across varied industries like liquor, pharmaceuticals and FMCG product segment.

Suresh Varma of Arunodaya who along with his brother Vijay Varma manage the business which is housed in three separate units at a massive size of 70,000sq/ft, said, “With acquisition of Omet X4, we are better equipped to meet the exacting demands of our valuable customers especially with its innovative register control system which we think makes it best in the class.”

The sale of the Omet presses is handled by the New Delhi-based Weldon Celloplast, the Indian representative.

Pawandeep Sahni of Weldon Celloplast, said, “We are happy with the response for Omet. The Indian label convertors can expect value for their money and look forward for the innovations in Omet at the upcoming Label Expo Europe 2013 in September.
