Lombardi gears up to cater to the Indian market

After the installation of first Lombardi Synchroline press in India at A&A Labels, Vinsak, Lombardi’s distributor in India, organized an Open House which was attended by an estimated 40 Indian printing companies.

Ranesh Bajaj, director, Vinsak says: ‘The printers were impressed to see the substrate flexibility, the quick job change and the minimum waste that the press was generating. It was an added advantage to see it running under production at a customer’s site.’ 
 
Explaining the delay in entering the Indian market, Massimo Lombardi, international sales manager, Lombardi Converting Machinery, says, ‘We were looking for a strong distributor in India to establish the press well in both sales and technical support. We met Vinsak three years ago and have now finally entered the growing Indian market. We hope to have five installations by September 2016.’ There are a total of 135 Lombardi flexo presses installations across the world.
 
‘We want printers to opt for a Lombardi press for its high technological standard. We don’t want to cater to customers who want a cheap press. I strongly believe that the difference in value of the press is paid only once in life but one has to pay for inefficiency every day,’ he added,
 
Lombardi Converting Machinery today sells three flexo press models naming Flexoline with basic level of automation, Synchroline with servo motor press and Invicta press with gearless technology. ‘The presses can be customized as per customer’s requirements and are available in 330mm, 430mm, 530mm and 600 mm width,’ concluded Lombardi.
