The company is expanding its portfolio by venturing in to the labels market previously run from the division’s headquarters in Brixen, Italy.
Durst UK’s staff will become responsible for labels and specialty packaging due to the addition. The company will also supply consumables, spare parts, inks and other logistics from its UK facilities.
Peter Bray, managing director, said, ‘We are expecting continued growth in all our market sectors in 2016, especially in labels, which we see as an extremely important sector for our market-leading systems. We expect to make further important announcements soon.’
‘With full backing from our parent company, taking on the labels sector provides further significant business opportunities for Durst UK that has continued to increase market share for many years,’ said Mr Bray.
Mike Englander, business development manager, said, ‘It was a logical move to centralise operations in the UK. It’s not only the support, supply and logistics, but also consumables, spare parts and inks that will be supplied directly for the label industry from UK facilities.
Mr Englander concluded, ‘This investment by Durst is a very positive move for our UK customers and for the label industry.’
