He was a team player who was willing to impart technical knowledge about die-making and cutting process for folding boxes, packaging from corrugated board, and displays.
The tributes have been pouring in for the man who revolutionised CITO products in India. Seven industry heads share their grief - and doff their hat - to a man who dedicated his life to the industry.
Jassawala, added, “On behalf of Thomson Press, I express our deepest condolences to his family on this bereavement. May god give all the strength and courage to bear this loss and may his soul have everlasting peace in the kingdom of the almighty.”
Manish Jain at Options Printofast, said, “It is very sad news for the packaging industry. Arun Gandhi was a karama purush. I know him personally and I had started the business with him in 1996-97 and discovered a new thing in packaging called CITO creasing matrix. Even today, we are associated with his company for various products. May god give him peace and strength to his family for this huge loss.”
Ajit Diaz of Pio Printers, said, “I personally have interacted with Arun and found him to be a fine gentleman who had in-depth knowledge of cutting and creasing intricacies and also his zest for introducing high-quality products in India. He always gives a patient hearing to our issues before giving his opinion about how to solve the problem. This is a great loss to the printing and packaging industry. We pray that the almighty gives the strength to his near and dear ones to bear this loss. May his soul rest in peace.”
Rohit Madan at R M Associates, said, “Quite shocked to hear about Arun's sudden and sad demise. RIP my friend. I will miss you.”
Biren Naykpura of Son N Naykpura, said, “My friend Arun made immense contributions to the packaging industry. During my long association with him, I have never failed to sense the dedication and hard work towards the art of die-making.”
