Omet appoints Web Converting Solutions as UK agent

Effective October 1, Briggs and Web Converting Solutions is the local agent for Omet in the UK and Ireland. Briggs, previously managing director at Mark Andy UK then sales director, Mark Andy Europe, as well as serving Xeikon in the UK market, recently established his own agency with Web Converting Solutions.

‘It is a matter of great satisfaction for both of us,’ said Sergio Villa, Omet area sales manager. ‘Paul brings with him a depth of experience in labels and packaging for both traditional and digital printing, which is invaluable for Omet given the recent launch of the XJet line in collaboration with Durst.

‘With Web Converting Solutions, we are going to offer our customers fast response on-site technical service, spare parts delivered from within the UK by Omet, certified and trained technicians and support staff. It is important to be able to offer preventative maintenance and service contracts to ensure the very best performance and minimal downtime of the installed equipment.’

For Omet, the move strengthens its presence and supports its aim for increased sales and service opportunities in the UK and Ireland. Omet has around 10 installations of label printing machines in the UK.

Villa added: ‘They are important machines acquired by major customers, many of whom have installed more than one Omet line. We are preparing for a qualitative leap with an excellent base of installations.’
