The company is recognised as the first adopter of many groundbreaking machines in East India. In 2015, Arihant brought the first six-colour Komori UV press plus coater to East India. 

Sunny Jain, director of Arihant Printers, said, “My father, late Shri Dilip Kumar Jain, started the 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 added, “As on date, I with my brother Sandeep Jain take care of Arihant Printers. Recently, we have made a strategic expansion of our production facility with the opening of a new plant of one 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 our existing plant of two-lakh-sqft.” 

Explaining the reason why the company has persistently chosen Komori machines one after another over the years, Jain said, “With a feeling of pride, we would say our association with Komori started right from the day one of our business. We went for the second brand-new Komori machine, the Lithrone GX40 Advance, because of the unconditional support and cooperation we constantly received from the company.”          

“Since the launch of Komori India as a subsidiary of Tokyo-headquartered Komori Corporation in the country, we could figure out tremendous improvement in the company’s activities, a lot better than before. Its service engineers are well trained. They never let us down or feel shortage of anything,” Jain said, adding, “Komori is our tried and tested brand, that’s why we increasingly and continuously go for it over the years.”

He added, “The Lithrone GX40 Advance in our new plant is our grand step into packaging. We have so far developed a lot of sample prints on this press and our clients are impressed with the outputs. After all, this new machine with UV and 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.” 

With a strong team of more than 120 skilled printing and production staff, Arihant Printers is progressively upgrading its production facilities with constant additions of new machines and boosting up the overall activities. In this, Jain said the company’s pre-press and post-press divisions have also been correspondingly upgraded with the latest additions of new machines and equipment such as Kodak CTP, Maxima die-cutter, and a string of other automated finishing systems.
