Herma strengthens sales operations in Australia

Sarney will look after the accounts of customers in all the Australian states, as well as clients in New Zealand.

Result Group works exclusively with Herma for the delivery of self-adhesive materials in Australia, offering labelstock, adhesives and release liner. It is led by Michael Dossor, group general manager, and has 14 major partnerships across four business units covering value-added packaging, product identification, process automation and self-adhesive materials. 

Some of Result Group's other partners include Leibinger, Allen Coding Systems, Label Vision Systems and K2 Engineering Group.

Sarney has already been working in the paper, printing, packaging, labeling and processing industries for more than 25 years, and was most recently responsible for a wide range of duties with RotoMetrics.

Herma said Sarney will provide its customers in the region with their own local contact specifically for self-adhesive materials. 

Herma added that the strengthening of its sales representation in Australia reaffirms its commitment to international expansion.

Herma's self-adhesive materials division currently generates around two-thirds of its sales inside Europe, and the company has recently extended its customer support provisions in both the European and South American markets.

Herma managing director Dr Thomas Baumgärtner said: ‘Down Under, the Result Group is a strategic partner for us. We therefore welcome and support any reinforcement for what is already a flexible team.

‘Michael Dossor and his employees exploit fresh applications and market potential, while adopting an uncompromising strategy in pursuit of quality and service goals. We are thus a very good match.

‘Our next target is to post substantial growth beyond Europe.’
