Parksons invests in India's first Esko Kongsberg V

This is the first Indian installation of V20. Parksons Packaging was also the first Indian packaging converter to install a Kongsberg XL sample maker when it was launched in 2001.

 

Ramesh Kejriwal, chairman, Parksons Packaging said, “The new sample maker is essential because of the larger size needed for the sampling of corrugated cartons.”

 

This will help the company with its diversification into new the vertical of branded corrugated cartons. It will manufacture SoliQ branded corrugated carton trays, which are designed specifically for fruits and vegetables, under license from BillerudKorsnäs (Sweden).

 

“The Kongsberg V20 can handle materials of sizes up to 1750x1650mm. Its flexibility means that we can cut rubber blankets that are needed for the spot varnishing of folding cartons and we can also cut flexographic plates for mounting on our new multicolour flexo printer slotter,” said Kejriwal.

 

Parksons has a complete pre-press and workflow software from Esko to drive both folding carton and corrugated carton production.

 

“Our familiarity with the use of multiple Esko sample makers at our several plant locations made it a natural progression to the Kongsberg V20 when we were contemplating sample making for the corrugation business,” added Kejriwal.
