OMET has appointed Manroland Latina as its agent in Mexico

OMET announces the collaboration with a new agent in Mexico, Manroland Latina, with the target of increasing its presence in the area and being closer to local printers.

OMET is growing globally with the installation of narrow and medium web printing machines for labels and flexible packaging on all continents. With the aim of growing further and strengthening its presence in Mexico, OMET has recently signed a collaboration agreement with a new agent, Manroland Latina.

The German based company is a respected name in the industry and has been supplying the country with printing machines and related graphic arts equipment and consumables for more than 60 years.

César Domínguez, General Manager of Manroland Latina said: “OMET is a leader in the narrow web and mid web labels and packaging business providing the best available solutions to the market. We are thrilled to create a new business unit for web fed labels and packaging in order to complete our present offering. We feel that their machines satisfy our very demanding requirements for quality and productivity. Both companies, Manroland Sheetfed and OMET share the same customer approach philosophy.”

Hans Ramón Hofmann, the Manager of the newly created business unit added: “I am really excited to get back to this beloved market with exceptional quality and technology machines. We will be able to compete at the highest level in this very demanding market with a low total cost of ownership and an excellent value for money product.
Manroland Latina is a subsidiary in Mexico for Manroland Sheetfed with 45 employees mainly in service, sales of equipment and consumables and administration, with presence in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.

Paolo Grasso, Head of Sales at OMET added: “Latin America has a big potential, despite the permanent instability among few countries. But lots of new investments and acquisitions continue to happen in Mexico, both from EU and USA. OMET presence in Mexico is already well established but we are willing to grow and for such reason we chose to work with a professional partner who will be able to deliver OMET international know-how and local professional service support. We trust this partnership with Manroland Latina will be extremely beneficial for Mexican converters.”
