WEMO expands market presence in India with Amit Upreti as VP Business Development

On February 1, 2023, Amit Upreti joined India’s sales team of the Netherlands-based WEMO for WEMO Special Projects. Upreti has more than 10 years of experience in high-end sheet metal fabrication solutions and will be responsible for further business development and expansion in India. The company announced that with the knowledge, experience and energy of Upreti, it is looking at the growth in the

Indian market.

WEMO identifies a huge potential in India. The country is experiencing economic and demographic growth, which means there will be more demand for a variety of steel products like steel doors, electrical enclosures, elevator panels, shelving systems, dishwashers, refrigerators and much more. Many WEMO customers also established manufacturing facilities in India five to 10 years ago and now want to upgrade their manufacturing facilities by moving away from stand-alone machines and meeting demand with automated sheet metal bending and punching lines from WEMO.

The companies simply want less dependency on manpower and more automation to realise higher output and thus a much better price per panel or product. India is one of the best choices, as it has many favourable conditions like a well-educated labour force, economical raw materials and high-end technology.

Amit Upreti brings a lot of experience to the table. He was born and raised in India and has successfully worked for the past 10 years at a manufacturer of less technologically advanced stand-alone bending solutions as National Sales Manager. “The solutions provided by WEMO are unique and no other solutions have such productivity. WEMO has great propositions to offer and I am excited to be their ambassador,” said Amit Upreti, Vice President Business Development-India, WEMO.

The WEMO Special Projects division will create tailor-made solutions which perfectly fit automation needs. The WEMO production lines realise production with the lowest cost per panel due to extremely fast cycle times and ultra-high output, yet maintaining flexibility and if required, batch-size-one production. With a WEMO solution, you reduce operator dependency to a bare minimum and guarantee excellent quality, precision and efficiency.

“With our assignment of Amit we acknowledge the importance of our presence in the great Indian market. Our company philosophy and product technology match what the country needs. I am thrilled that Amit will lead the way for WEMO in this exciting journey,” said Jeff Hagelen, CEO, WEMO.

WEMO Special Projects is a family business in the Netherlands with 60 years of experience in sheet metal processing and machine building. It develops, builds and installs fully automated metalworking machines for punching, bending and joining sheet metal and coil material into a semi-finished or finished product.
