In order to deliver the best sales and service support in India, Omet Srl has opened a new subsidiary, Omet India Private Limited, which is based in Gurugram, Delhi NCR.

Since 2010, Omet has been exclusively sold and serviced in India through Weldon Celloplast Limited, who will continue to represent Omet 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,” says Pawandeep Sahni, who has been appointed to lead Omet in India and the subcontinent. 

Omet considers India as one of its important strategic markets on which to focus, with a $5 trillion economy by 2024-25. Additionally, the rise in 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 the opening of Omet India, we look forward to increasing our ever-growing list of customers and also provide highly customized technical solutions to printers, as Omet is a global leader in providing such solutions,” says Paolo Grasso, global sales head for Omet.

Omet’s Indian customers have reacted positively to this expansion. Sanjeev Sondhi of Zircon Technologies, who runs multiple Omet presses, says, “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”

“Renault is a very innovative printer, and Omet has been our preferred partner for years, because of the technological solutions it provides. With the establishment of Omet India, our confidence in the brand is further strengthened and we are assured of mutual success in years to come,” says Mahendra Shah, director, Renault Paper Products in Palgarah, where all major label printing machines are from Omet.

“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,” says Marco Calcagni, sales and marketing director, Omet. “In the coming years, we expect Omet India to become yet another center of excellence for Omet, in addition to our subsidiaries in USA, China and Spain.”
