With a second Komori, Paras expects 50% growth

Vijay Jain, the owner, who started his career as a stationary supplier from Dariyaganj, the books publishers’ hub in Old Delhi, said the reason he was opting for another Komori was because he wanted to phase out the Dominant printing machines on his shopfloor and to meet his customers’ demand of quick delivery.

“The repeat order shows our confidence in the product. Our customers are becoming demanding, and most of them want quick and quality production,” he said.

Jain, who has experience of more than three decades in the industry, caters mostly to job work, while around 25% of his customers are direct clients. In the last 15 years, he has successfully upgraded his press from Dominant printing presses to Komori printing presses.

The commercial printing facility is equipped with a six up Screen CTP, which produces around 3,000 digital plates per month, a Komori Enthrone 429, with the second one on the way, and post-press equipments, such as Stahl folder, paper cutting machine, perfect binder from Welbound and others.

Kshitiz, Jain’s son, an engineer by education and a promoter of new equipment, jointed the family owned business in 2011. “These days, our customers want delivery of their jobs on their schedule, not ours. We found that new equipment is the best solution to meet those kinds of demands,” he said.

The commercial printing company now plans to upgrade its post-press facility. Also in the pipeline is a new CTP. Jain concluded, “Our production capacity will increase once the new machine arrives. We will then upgrade the post-press facility first and then opt for another CTP to feed both the machines. We are also planning to expand into packaging printing. I do not know when it will happen, but it will.”

Around 40 people work in 8,000 sq/ft area of the shopfloor round the clock.
