Gic-Omegher, producer of web and label finishing equipment, has appointed KPG (Europe), a supplier of flexographic, combination and specialist presses, as its UK distributor. GIC has been the French distributor of the ToyoKoki/KPG built presses for many years. Additionally, the two companies have become OEM partners enabling joint developments to be brought to the market place, including the integration of the Gic-Omegher finishing systems into the specialist presses of KPG.


Bruno Vitali, managing director of Gic-Omegher stated that the agreement ‘will enable customers to benefit from high speed in-line solutions, by combining our technology for RFID product applications and booklet label encapsulation, into KPG specialist presses. The aim is to combine our expertise, so that we are able to provide customized solutions to meet specific printing, converting and product finishing applications’.


Glenn Miller, managing director of KPG (Europe) believes that the three-way agreement with Gic-Omegher is ‘an exciting and natural development for both companies’.


Gic-Omegher has recently launched its A4 Moduform Compact. This sheetfed web finishing machine is able to integrate labels, plastic cards and RFID products onto pre-printed sheets. These are all applications required by the mailing and direct marking industries.


For roll-fed printers and finishing houses, Gic-Omegher supplies the Modular 50 reel-to-reel web finishing machine. With a running speed of 150m/min, the machine will demonstrate a RFID application unit and a DIN A4 Dual-Cutter.
