This year UMS Australasia celebrates 21 years of servicing the flexographic print and converting industry after Peter Keogh, the former GM of Corprint, and son Sean established their fledgling company in Castle Hill, Sydney.
It began with the simple objective of providing world-class innovative solutions for the flexo industry with an unparalleled commitment of supply and service to “keep production moving”.
Specialising in print consultation, along with value-added solutions such as press upgrades, press tooling, spares and consumable products, UMS has gained an enviable reputation as a dependable, ethical and professional vendor to some of the region’s largest corporations and now supports clients located in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia.
“We are proud and honoured to be exclusively representing an array of world-class OEMs suppliers in the global print, converting and material handling industries. UMS Australasia is committed to providing tailored solutions that meet customer goals and needs. Although our forays into the wide web and label markets across Australia and New Zealand only began in the past few years, our partners – such as Rotometal, Fuji Shoko, Ceramic Anilox Engravers, and BFT Group, among others – are well-known and established in these areas globally,” explains Sean Keogh.
“Our partnerships with these OEMs, which provide a holistic view of print and converting solutions, add further depth to the various markets we service. We consider ourselves more than just a supplier. We are a strategic print partner.”
