OMET opens upgraded printing press plant in Suzhou, China

Italian printing machinery maker OMET Group has officially launched an upgraded production facility in the Pinjiang industrial park in Suzhou, China, on 13 September 2026. The site runs parallel lines, one for final assembly of narrow- and mid-web presses and one for components and modules, aimed at shortening delivery cycles for label and flexible-packaging printers.

Why this mattersLocalised Asian assembly by a leading press builder signals intensifying competition for label converters in the region and may temper price pressure on new equipment.
