ITW EAE is pleased to announce the appointment of Alfa SMT as the authorized distributor of MPM Printer and Camalot Dispenser products for the Balkan territory, including Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, the Republic of Moldova, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania.
“We are pleased with the addition of Alfa SMT as our partner for our printer and dispenser products in the Balkan Region,” said Frank van Erp, EMEA Sales Director for ITW EAE. “This is a wide territory and, while some of these markets may be smaller than others, together they represent significant potential where I believe we can grow our business. In addition, we were looking for a strong service partner in the area to better support our corporate accounts, and I feel this set-up supports both needs.”
“This appointment is an important step in our strategy to build a focused SMT equipment business in Romania and the wider Balkan region,” said Marius Toader, Managing Director of Alfa SMT and Alfa Test. “By representing MPM Printers and Camalot Dispensers, we can provide customers with proven ITW EAE technologies, local technical support and fast regional response to improve quality, stability and productivity across their SMT lines.”
“The Balkans region represents a growth hub for the electronics industry in Europe, and through our collaboration with ITW, we aim to become the local benchmark for representing the most significant SMT technologies currently available. Romania and the Balkan area will play a decisive role in keeping SMT production within Europe, in line with today's global shifts. Alfa SMT is thus becoming a key player in this trend," states Marius Popitiu, Sales Director and co-founder at ALFA SMT.
