Goss International has established a new direct sales and support organization in Brazil, which is the world’s fifth largest country by geographical area and population (191,241,71). According to the company, over the past five years, printers and publishers in Brazil have ordered more than 100 new Goss printing units.

Headquartered in Sao Paulo, the new Goss International organization is responsible for the full range of Goss commercial and newspaper presses and print finishing systems. The group also manages Goss Lifetime Support aftermarket services, including parts, service and enhancement programs.

“This smooth transition to direct sales and support, with a strong continuity of personnel, streamlines processes and puts our customers in closer contact with our dedicated team in Latin America and throughout the world,” said Goss International CEO Jochen Meissner.
