Snehasis Roy, ABP

Our shopfloor team was very delighted on receiving the award. We, at ABP, believe that planned print quality initiatives are almost always cost effective in the long run. Today, we operate at 20% less than the market cost because of the continual investment in technology, which requires regular technical meetings, conference calls, and occasional visits with our network of suppliers and vendors.

Today, in a limited marketplace, collaboration may be one of the ways to raise and optimise resources. We operate by the mantra - do not compromise quality for a planned cost and have one of rarest rate of customer complaints.

We have received the second world ranking by Wan-Ifra colour quality club. In the coming times, print is here to stay. It is environment friendly, user friendly, prestigious, and trustworthy, compared to alternative media.
