"Nigeria is a country where we have a good number of installations. It is less competitive as compared to the Indian scenario and also a growing market," said Y P Taneja, director at PGE. "We have an office in Lagos in Nigeria as we believe it is an export hub," he added.  

The other installations of PGE's sheetfed presses are in Tehran, Sudan, Mexico, Congo, Myanmar, Ghana etc. The company has several teams and local offices spread across these countries to provide support and a good after-sales service. 
 
PGE established in 1994, manufacturers single colour, two colour, four colour and five colour sheetfed presses under the brand name Eagle. The maximum sheet size of the printing machines ranges from 18x25 inches, 20x30 inches to 22x32 inches.

Indian installations of PGE would amount to 50 sheetfed presses till now.

"We have several teams and local offices spread across these countries. In India, the market is too competitive. Nigeria, on the other hand, is a growing market but at the same time requires a good service network. Whenever we sell a press, we insist that one of trained operators is hired as a consultant and trainer for a year. This helps the customer’s press handlers to understand the machine better and churn better results. Otherwise, it would take some time for the worker to get adjusted with the machine,” concluded Taneja.
