Kongsberg Announces New Oceania Distribution Partnership with GMS Pacific

Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS) has announced a new agreement with GMS Pacific to handle its distribution and servicing business across the Oceania region.

This new agreement will see GMS Pacific manage all sales, distribution, and servicing of the complete range of Kongsberg digital finishing solutions and tools in Melbourne, Australia.

"This latest agreement is a part of our ongoing process of moving towards a more efficient and effective way to meet the evolving needs of our customers," said Stuart Fox, President of Kongsberg PCS. "The team at GMS Pacific has more than 20 years combined experience working with Kongsberg solutions. We are delighted to now begin this partnership as the exclusive digital finishing solution provider for its business.

"With this distribution agreement, we are living up to our ethos of 'global presence, local service,'" said Stuart. "While we realise a company our size doesn't necessarily have the scale to offer the level of service we'd like in all parts of the world, having GMS Pacific as a local full-service distributor will enable us to give our customers across Australia and New Zealand the level of attention they deserve.

"GMS Pacific holds stock of spare parts and Kongsberg consumables in their Australian and New Zealand warehouses, so customers can enjoy the full range of sales and follow-up services and speak to a representative in the same local time zone, improving their experience and removing potential delays," he said. "One of our digital finishing tables will be installed at the company's Australian headquarters, allowing customers to have a close-up look at the impressive machinery in action.

"This exciting new agreement is about Kongsberg PCS focusing on improvements where we can make a difference, to deliver the best levels of service to our customers," said Stuart.

Delivering solutions for label and packaging manufacturers, GMS Pacific has been operating in the printing industry for over 40 years. As well as introducing the latest technology products and supplying the highest quality equipment and consumables, the company provides expert advice to customers across Oceania.

Andrew McNamara, Managing Director of GMS Pacific, says, "we have built our business and reputation by consistently delivering quality, service and reliability, and developing long-term partnerships with leading brands that deliver profitable solutions to our customers." McNamara went on to say,  "Kongsberg PCS is the leader in its markets and a great fit with GMS Pacific. We are delighted to be cementing our relationship with Kongsberg, establishing a dedicated team to support customers achieve their business growth through distributing the leading range of digital finishing solutions and technological advancements in the field."
