OMNI Systems, a provider of high-quality labels for the logistics, food, and consumer packaged goods industries, recently described its journey in digital printing through its ongoing partnership with Domino. With the acquisition of multiple Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers over the past several years, OMNI Systems continues to drive efficiency, precision, and scalability in label production.
OMNI Systems is the largest privately owned label maker in America. Along with the corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, they also have facilities in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Kansas City, Kansas. The plant in Cleveland is their largest at 144,000 square feet with 33 production lines. With more than 300 employees they continue to grow every year, and their goal is to be carbon neutral by 2030.
The company now operates three Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers at its Cleveland, Ohio facility — two 22-inch dual-bar units and one 17-inch single-bar unit — enhancing its ability to produce high-quality variable data and sequential barcoded labels at greater speeds and volumes.
We sat down with OMNI Systems’ President Mike Murton, and Chief Financial Officer Dave Campbell, to learn more about OMNI’s business, their goals for the future, and how partnering with Domino is strategic in achieving those goals.
Growth Strategy
“In the fall of 2022, OMNI kicked off a growth strategy to triple the size of the organization in the next seven years,” OMNI Systems’ President Mike Murton. “That growth is going to be a mix of both organic growth and acquisitive growth, and Domino is definitely going to be a partner that we’re going to bring along for that growth strategy. OMNI’s culture is really driven by continuous improvement… really driving autonomy, giving people space to do their roles, really empowering our employees to go out and make decisions that drive change, and that make a daily impact for the company.”
Partnership
As OMNI Systems looks to bring in new equipment to support their operations, the company relies on long-term partnerships developed with suppliers. By partnering with Domino, they’ve dedicated three production lines to Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers which produce eight million labels a day at their Cleveland facility.
“Speed and efficiency today are more important than ever,” said Murton. “The Domino equipment and reliability allow us to take that speed and efficiency, and give it back to our customers and drive the savings that they look for year over year. We can run 24 hours, five days a week with no downtime. And that will be important for the GS1 Sunrise initiative, which will ensure consumers are receiving the proper product information. And OMNI is confident that Domino is going to be there to support us through that change, not only supporting our current customer base, but allowing us to go out and attract new customers with the changes.”
