Labelexpo India 2016: great success for iFlex launch in Asian market

At Labelexpo India, the most important exhibition in South East Asian area, held in Greater Noida, close to New Dehli, from 17 to 20 November, Omet met with success by selling two iFlex: A significant international acknowledgement for the Italian company, true leader in the market of narrow-web printing press manufacturing.

The first iFlex is to be installed at the new premises of Huhtamäki PPL Webtech Labels in Mumbai, in the beginning of 2017. The Finnish group is specialized in flexible packaging and is active on the market for more than 80 years, counting 14 manufacturing sites in India.

Even Insight Graphics chose OMET iFlex to “re-start”, after a terrible fire destroyed its label division based in Kolkata. “I’m very impressed by iFlex’s performance – stated Ashish Shah, managing director-. Even if it is an entry-level press, it features a deep level of automation and it is extremely easy to use”.

“We are very glad that two of the greatest and most promising players in the Asian market chose OMET – said Paolo Grasso, OMET Area Manager-. They understood the value of the technology applied to our machines and how fast they can generate ROI”.

The 2 sales in the first 2 days of exhibition demonstrate the great appeal of our presses in the local market. Even a huge multinational company like Huhtamäki PPL – added Harveer Sahni from Weldon Celloplast, OMET’s official distributor in India – after witnessing the ergonomics and the performance in terms of level of waste, they had no doubt in selecting OMET as perfect partner for their business”.

OMET starred also as official sponsor of the Flexo category in the LMAI Awards night, during a pleasant ceremony, which registered a huge success. 

Labelexpo India gathered more than 200 exhibitors and attracted thousands of visitors, demonstrating once again the relevance of the business in this area, where Omet has been investing a lot: the opening of OMET India office in New Delhi is a fresh operation aiming at guaranteeing constant service on the market.
