Rafsec opens German sales office

UPM Rafsec, a leading RFID tag manufacturer and member of the UPM Group, has opened a new sales office in Dreieich, Germany.

'Opening a sales office in Germany, in the heart of the European region and economy is a strategic move that will enable us to further strengthen our competitive advantage,'  comments Timo Lindstrm, president of UPM Rafsec. 'With so few companies who know exactly how to approach UHF systems and UHF tag technology, in particular at the current onset of market development, UPM Rafsec is determined to play a leading role in fostering the market penetration of advanced supply chain management applications based on the implementation of smart labels.'

Heading up the new sales office is Thomas Wythe, who joined the company as sales team leader in January. He will report to Alex Boellaard, sales director, Europe. Wythe is a packaging veteran with nearly 15 years of experience in
the industry.
