Kolkata-based Arihant Printers is recognised as first adopter of many groundbreaking machines in East India.Seven-colour KOMORI Lithrone GL40 Advance with UV & IR curing technology, now running at the company’s newly opened packaging plant, is first KOMORI press of its model in East India.
Further, when it comes to counting the other machines which Arihant Printers brought first to East India, it was the six-colour KOMORI UV press plus coater which the company debuted in the region in 2015.Recalling the early days of business, Sunny Jain, Director of Arihant Printers, narrates, “My father, late Shri Dilip Kumar Jain, started our printing business in 1980,under a different name. Arihant Printers came into being in 2006 with our expansive engagement in commercial printing and packaging.”
He adds, “As on date, I with my brother Sandeep Jain take care of Arihant Printers. Just recently, we have made a strategic expansion of our production facility with the opening of a new plant of 1 lakh sqft, which is designated exclusively for packaging printing and conversion. This new plant is where we have installed the brand new Lithrone GX40, complementing to our existing plant of 2 lakh sqft.”
Telling about the reason why they persistently choose KOMORI machines one after another over the years, Sunny emphasises, “We went for the second brand new KOMORI machine, the Lithrone GL40 Advance, because of the unconditional support and cooperation we constantly received from the company.”
He continues, “Lithrone GL40 Advance in our new plant is our grand step into packaging. We have so far developed a lot of sample prints on this brand new press and our clients are impressed with the outputs. After all, this new machine with UV & IR curing technology is highly efficient. Since the day we started running the press in full swing, our production volume has increased to double. We are looking forward to adding more such presses to our new packaging plant.”
