OMET Americas Appoints Root to Tissue Division Specialist for North America

 

OMET Americas, Elk Grove, Ill., USA, has appointed David Root to its newly created role of division specialist for North America. Root has been tasked with managing client relationships while coordinating the sales and delivery of tissue converting equipment for the production of napkins, towels, and place mats. 

Root’s appointment builds on the momentum that OMET has gained with the recent achievement of the 750th installation of tissue converting machines worldwide. He comes to OMET with more than 35 years of experience in the flexographic printing industry, with an emphasis on specialty substrates—napkin printing and folding, high speed paper towel print applications, napkin and bath tissue, as well as nonwovens.

 

Root’s engagement reaffirms OMET’s commitment to provide local sales, support, and service across all U.S. and Canadian markets.

 

The significant increase in orders for machinery in recent years has led OMET to develop new partnerships that will bring great advantages in terms of sales, service efficiency, and capacity to meet the growing demands of OMET machines in the North American market. 

This partnership will allow OMET to contribute to the growth of the tissue printing industry in North America by offering technically advanced equipment and excellent local support through DMR Solutions. 

 

Root will be based out of New York and will report to Claudio Semenza, sales director of OMET Americas Inc. 

OMET Americas is a manufacturer of printing presses and tissue converting machines and is the U.S. branch of the OMET Group, Italy. The target of OMET Americas is to provide customer service, technical support, and sales across all of North and Central American countries. More information is available online.
