DGM India reaffirms PrintWeek Awards partnership

Speaking to PrintWeek, Puneet Aggarwal, managing director at DGM India, said that good work must always be appreciated to motivate the rest of the world to continue good work and have healthy competition. “The PrintWeek Awards gives the print fraternity that opportunity.”

Aggarwal added, “The PrintWeek Awards give an appropriate opportunity for all the stakeholders to come on a common platform and understand each other's concern and solution with a positive mind.”

It was the Covid-19 pandemic which forced PrintWeek to skip editions in 2020 and 2021 owing to lockdowns and strict regulations. However, for DGM India, business was good. The company’s key products were folder-gluer and die-cutters. “They are popular because of their capabilities, capacity and local support,” said Aggarwal. He added, “In the hard times which have gone by, people have understood the value of ethical suppliers and have understood the importance of automation.”

DGM India has recently started offering inline and offline carton inspection machines, which Aggarwal said, help in the reduction of manual labour and human error. “DGM sells 60+ such machines worldwide every year,” he confirmed.

Aggarwal is upbeat about the paper packaging industry, which will flourish, but competition too is growing, and just-in-time delivery is in demand. “The biggest risk today is raw material cost fluctuation,” Aggarwal said.

When asked what his advice to the Indian printer or converter is, Aggarwal said, “Be asset-light and concentrate on capabilities and capacity of installed equipment with its proper usage.”
