With the title of Business Unit Manager Labels, he will work with Nilpeter’s business partner, Intergrafica Print & Pack Pty Ltd (IPP).
The Labels Business Unit in IPP’s Australian operation is based in Moorabbin, near Melbourne. IPP has also employees servicing the label market in other parts of Australia, including Martin Cordina who is the company’s chief contact person for Sydney.
“In addition, Nilpeter has a regional office in Bangkok, with extensive back-up facilities both in terms of personnel and equipment”, says Larsen.
“However, as the latest types of presses become more digitised and electronic diagnostic techniques improve, an increasing number of technical issues can be resolved remotely by our technicians over ISDN connections to our factory in Slagelse, Denmark.”
“Over the past decade Nilpeter has enjoyed a good share of the web offset label market in Australia and New Zealand and to some extent this applies for the high-end rotary letterpress market. Flexo printing is now right up there in this region and we would like to increase our share of it, as we have done in other parts of the world where the process is equally sophisticated,” adds Larsen.
