Rollem host South Korean visit

  • News

Last week Rollem played host to a potential customer from South Korea. Mr Jung-Ho Kim (Kim) from DTPIA Co. Ltd based in Seoul, travelled to Barnsley specifically to see a demonstration of Rollem’s business card finishing equipment. Across Asia business cards are seen as being important, a business card (name card) in Korea is called a 명함  and should be presented and received with respect.

Mr Kim was accompanied by Sang Hun Lee of OZ Partners, based in London. Mr Lee acted as translator, guide and chauffeur for Mr Kim.

Stewart Dyer, European Sales Manager for Rollem said “the visit was very useful for both parties, and Mr Kim and Mr Lee were a pleasure to work with. We were able to demonstrate the equipment which Mr Kim is looking for, to improve the efficiency of his production facility, and he was confident that it would provide what he needs. As a result of the discussions and demonstrations, we agreed that we would progress to the next stage of the process.”

With recent increased sales in the UK and across Europe, the future looks bright, so to ensure Rollem are able to meet the demand, and adapt to the changing requirements of their ever expanding customer base.

Rollem’s Purchasing Co-ordinator raises over £400 for Kidney Research

  • News

Rollem’s Purchasing Co-ordinator, Stacey Winfield, held a sponsored silence last Wednesday to raise money for Kidney Research UK.

As anyone who knows Stacey will realise, this was quite a challenge for her to undertake! She has raised over £400 for Kidney Research. Stacey’s mum, Sue, had a kidney transplant about 8 year ago, and it is looking likely that she will need to go back on dialysis soon.

Stacey celebrated her achievement with a couple of drinks after work with her colleagues.
