Durst UK adds labels to business portfolio

The Durst UK headquarters are located in Leatherhead, Surrey, and its staff covering the UK and Ireland will now have responsibility for labels and specialty packaging. They are backed by Durst UK’s own nine-strong team of experienced service engineers strategically placed across the UK and Ireland, and are equipped for 24/7 operations throughout the year. They work closely with the parent company’s own support teams.

Durst, which has more than 150 installations throughout the UK and Ireland, will also directly supply consumables, spare parts, inks and other logistics from its wholly-owned UK subsidiary.

Peter Bray, Durst UK managing director, said: ‘We are expecting continued growth in all our market sectors in 2016, especially in labels, which we see as an extremely important sector for our market-leading systems. We expect to make further important announcements soon.

‘With full backing from our parent company, taking on the labels sector provides further significant business opportunities for Durst UK that has continued to increase market share for many years.’

Mike Englander, Durst business development manager, has responsibility for commercial and business development aspects of the label business in the UK, and described this development as a ‘logical move’.

‘It’s not only the support, supply and logistics, but also consumables, spare parts and inks that will be supplied directly for the label industry from UK facilities. This investment by Durst is a very positive move for our UK customers and for the label industry.’
