At next month’s India Label Show in New Delhi, Nilpeter A/S and Proteck Machinery will introduce the newly formed joint venture company, Nilpeter India. The companies say through the joint venture they expect to introduce a locally produced press to the Indian market early 2009.
Jakob Landberg, sales and marketing director for Nilpeter says, “Over the past two years Nilpeter has watched the Indian label market grow intensively. In 2007 we started our cooperation with Proteck Machinery as our agent for sales and service in India and quickly found that we share the same set of company values”,
He continues, “The partnership has led to a closer cooperation and by combining Nilpeter's label press know-how and Proteck's manufacturing competences, we expect to introduce a locally produced press to the Indian market early 2009.”
Alan Barretto, managing director of Nilpeter India and a long-time employee with Proteck says Nilpeter India has decided to set up offices in Chennai, close to Proteck and other industrial businesses in order to take advantages of the many synergy effects.
Barretto says, “We will use the same high quality Nilpeter parts as normally expected by the label printer. The obvious advantage for the Indian printers is shorter delivery times of the press itself.”
At the show, Nilpeter will display the successful FB-3300 Servo machine from Nilpeter in USA. The press will be installed at Synergy Print in Mumbai after the show.
