The Durst and OMET sales teams
A strategic partnership in North America has granted Omet exclusive access for sales of the Durst Tau product line. Full implementation is expected by Labelexpo Americas 2018, where the new Tau 330 RSC will be showcased as a standalone label press system as well as inline with the new Omet XJet digital-flexo hybrid press.
The new partnership will provide label printers extended engineering capabilities, added services and combined digital and flexo printing expertise from a single source. Utilising Omet’s Chicago office provides a central location for customer demonstrations and faster sample turnaround time.
Richard Thomas, formerly business development manager for North American Label Segment, Durst, has been appointed as the newly titled director of North American Digital Business Initiative for Labels and Package Printing.
‘We are delighted to expand our collaboration with Omet,’ said Helmuth Munter, global segment manager for Labels and Package Printing at Durst Group. ‘Bringing together our know-how and market expertise provides increased value for our customers and accelerates the digitisation of the label and packaging market.’
Claudio Semenza, Omet Americas sales director, added, ‘Omet is excited about the collaboration with Durst. This partnership allows us to offer a complete system of printing solutions to our customers in North America.’
