Italian flexo printing specialist Lombardi Converting Machinery has named Giovanni Perego as its new international sales manager to support worldwide growth for labels and flexible packaging markets.

The appointment is important for Lombardi with regard in particular to growing in the Middle East and India.

Massimo Lombardi, director of international sales at Lombardi Converting Machinery, commented: “Lombardi has developed several new technologies in the last year. All these technologies cover a wide range of automation systems, such as electronic register control, format correction and 100 percent quality control. All this following our constructive philosophy based on the modularity and variety of solutions. Not only flexo groups but also, in the last year, Lombardi added important modular solutions to narrow web machines, such as hot stamping, screen printing, semi-rotary die-cutting and typical modules for label and packaging industry, as well as hybrid flexo and digital printing.”

Perego, who joined Lombardi at Labelexpo India 2018, stated his appreciation for the healthy, growing company, added to its flexibility and management of a young and motivated family team. “We had a very crowded stand," says Perego. "Some machines were sold and visitors came not only from India but also from Malaysia, and this is a clear indicator of the image of Lombardi Converting Machinery in the world and in Asia in particular.”
