“We started our business with a Mark Andy press. Since then our trust in the brand has kept growing and FIG has become an inseparable partner,” Prasanna Sahu, managing director, Barcom Industries, said.

Gourav Roy, director, FIG, said, “It’s a privilege to be partnered with such an ambitious and ever-growing label manufacturing and printing company of India. Barcom Industries has made some of the landmark investments and milestone installations of cutting-edge machines from FIG.”

Started with a Mark Andy 830, followed by a Mark Andy Scout and a string of Mark Andy 2200 presses, Barcom Industries never remained stagnant when it came to constant upgrading of its machine portfolio. In the following years, the portfolio had been upgraded with a handful of Mark Andy Performance Series P5 presses.

Barcom Industries hit the headlines in 2018 when the company installed Asia’s first Mark Andy Digital One, an advanced hybrid label press combining digital printing with inline converting and finishing. Apart from Mark Andy presses, the company’s other machines bought from FIG consist of Rotoflex inspection slitter rewinders with 100% fault detection systems, Rotoflex HSI label inspection, slitting and rewinding machines with 100% Nikka L1 inspection cameras, and Rotoflex bi-directional pharma inspection system.

Having been working for big brands from sectors, such as FMCG, pharmaceutical, vehicular maintenance, liquor, and others, Barcom Industries boasts a vast client base comprising both domestic and international companies.

Sahu said the company is now looking forward to gaining new ground in terms of productivity and client satisfaction with the constant upgrade of their machine portfolio.
