Omet India has been officially inaugurated after a ceremony on 29 November.
The Italian printing equipment manufacturer’s latest subsidiary has been created as India is identified as a strategic market. Omet India joins Omet Americas, Omet Suzhou and Omet Iberica.
Omet sales and marketing director Marco Calcagni said, ‘Omet counts many installations in over 100 countries, and we believe that many of these countries can be served directly from India in a better way. This subsidiary will allow Omet to improve its technical service, its technology and focus on new innovations. Omet is investing in the Indian market and is working for both short and long term results.’
Omet has an established presence in India thanks to its long-standing relationship with Weldon Celloplast, who has to date led the installation of over 30 printing machines. Pawandeep Sahni has moved over from Weldon Celloplast to lead Omet India as its first managing director.
Andrea Calcagni, international strategy and business development manager at Omet, said, ‘Omet India with its partners Weldon Celloplast and Printronicsa has already a team of over 10 engineers on board and started training other Indian engineers to serve its customers around the world. We are working to make India a centre of competence for global company operations, work has already begun in that direction.’
Mr Sahni concluded, ‘The new branch is a centre of excellence for Omet that will lead to an improvement of the customised technical service for our partners. Being closer to our customers will help us to understand their needs. We aim to improve the customer experience starting from when the customer places an order until the machine is installed and works at optimal levels, allowing the customer to fully exploit the potential of Omet printing machines, such as performance and production efficiency, while ensuring the highest quality.’
