Indian converter orders Omet press at Labelexpo

Kap Cones has opted for an 8-color, full UV Omet X6 530 for printing pressure-sensitive and in-mold labels. Deepak Duggal, director at the company, said: ‘This machine adds to the comfort level of a printer. It is easy to operate and requires very little manual intervention. Least amount of wastage, quick changeover, capability of handling multiple substrates and excellent service support made me take my final decision.’

The press is expected to be shipped in the first quarter of 2016. Kap Cones houses a total of five mid-web flexo presses and a fleet of finishing equipment at its factory.

Marco Calcagni, sales director at Omet, was pleased with the response received from the Indian market. ‘It is a price-sensitive market but some top printers recognize quality, good service and relationship that Omet offers. The Indian market is on a positive growth trajectory and we are very focused on supporting it,’ he said.

Harveer Sahni, managing director at Weldon Celloplast and exclusive Indian agent for Omet, added: ‘We are very pleased to cater to some of the best printers in the country and hope the Indian market continues to recognize the quality and efficiency Omet presses offer.’

There are a total of 15 Omet presses installed in India, of which two were installed in 2014. Anygraphics, a label and packaging converter based in Noida, has also invested in an Omet press which is expected to get installed by the end of 2015.
