Omet opens office in India

Since the year 2010 Omet’s equipment has been exclusively sold and serviced in India through Weldon Celloplast Limited, who will continue to represent the company in India along with other partners.

‘The vision of establishing Omet India is to strengthen our existing relationships with our partners and provide a great service experience to our customers all over the region,’ said Pawandeep Sahni, who has been appointed to lead Omet in India and the subcontinent.

The Italian press manufacturer considers India as one of important strategic markets to focus on, considering the country is forecast to become a 5 trillion USD economy by 2024-25. According to Omet, rise in the middle-class income, expansion of large-scale organized retail trade, increasing presence of e-commerce companies and increasing demand of packaged food in India are all indicators of an assured double digit growth of packaging sector of the country.

‘Omet is already an established brand in the Indian subcontinent with leading printers such as Huhtamaki PPL, Zircon, Renault, Pragati Pack, Any Graphics, Unique Photo Offset and many more respected printers as its customers. With opening of Omet India, we are looking forward to increasing our ever-growing list of customers and provide highly customized technical solutions to printers, as Omet is a global leader in providing such solutions,’ said Paolo Grasso, head of global sales head at Omet.

‘It is a very positive initiative for Omet to invest in an office in India. This will be a great support in terms of response and service to Indian customers. We at Zircon congratulate the Omet team led by Pawandeep Sahni and reiterate our commitment to increase our business and cooperation with Omet in coming days,’ said Sanjeev Sondhi of Zircon Technologies who runs multiple Omet presses.

‘A closer relationship with the industry and our customers will help Omet to develop innovative projects as well as improve business processes for our customers, hence continuing our philosophy of Innovation with Passion, globally,’ said Marco Calcagni, sales and marketing director of Omet. ‘In the coming years we expect Omet India to become yet another center of excellence in addition to our subsidiaries in USA, China and Spain.’
