Speaking to PrintWeek, Nitin Patil, the owner of Numex Blocks, stated, “We have been utilising the large Esko CDI 5080 machines, which allow us to produce the highest-quality plates for our diverse clientele across both narrow-web and wide-web sectors. Over time, we have successfully developed a robust portfolio.”

Patil informed PrintWeek that his business has witnessed significant growth in the wide-web market in recent years, and he expects further expansion. “We are preparing ourselves to tackle the challenges posed by the growing market in both the wide-web and narrow-web segments,” he remarked. Patil said the new kit will enhance its production capabilities.

Arnab Maity, Esko's general manager for South Asia and Southeast Asia, highlighted, “Nitin Patil has been an excellent supporter of Esko. He has continued this journey of trust by choosing to invest in a new Esko CDI Crystal 5080 with V3 Plus Optics."

Maity added that the new optics enhancement on the Crystal platform was introduced at Drupa 2024. “We have been marketing the CDI Crystal imager for many years. Adding this new CDI imager with the Optics feature to Numex Blocks' portfolio will elevate its market offering and achieve greater success. We are pleased to be partners with Numex Blocks in their journey towards success.”
