He is the first Polygraphy Engineer (Germany) in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and recipient of the title ‘UP Ratna’ for his invaluable contribution to the overall growth and promotion of the industry in the state. Amit Bhargava, Director, Prakash Packagers, says, “It’s really my pride to be the second generation to uphold the legacy of Prakash Packagers, which is now poised to be one of the largest and best-equipped offset printing and packaging converting companies in UP with multi-generational workforces.”
The Komori edge…
Spreading over an area of 30,000sqft, Prakash Packagers boasts a state-of-the-art production facility. “We have been an aficionado of KOMORI technology. Currently, we run three KOMORI presses among which the latest one being a Lithrone G40 Advance, just completed its installation,” tells Amit.
First KOMORI press at Prakash Packagers, a Lithrone GL437, was installed in 2022. Followed up next was a Super Lithrone LS-440 last year. This year, a highly versatile Lithrone G40 Advance has been added as third KOMORI to the company’s machine portfolio. “With the addition of this new and third KOMORI press, we are boosting our productivity of commercial graphics and end-products like books to a whole new level,” informs Amit, adding that this new press is ideal with revolutionary functions.

It is capable to operate at a maximum speed of 17,200 sph (sheets per hour), handling sheet sizes up to 750×1050 mm. In addition, this eco-friendly KOMORI press is equipped with environmentally responsible functions that eventually reduce power consumption, paper waste, and greenhouse gas emission.
