Referring to India as an increasingly important market for Trelleborg, Maniraju Bora, sales and technical director – South West Asia at the company, said, “Trelleborg has invested a great deal of time and effort during the last year in order to strengthen its position. In addition to ensuring that there is a solid network of dealers throughout the country, Trelleborg has improved its own infrastructure to deliver quality products and services.”

Visitors to PrintPack can hear about new blankets and products shown for the first time in India, the latter including the Vulcan Irio, a pre-coating blanket designed for use during pre-coating and cold foil applications. The new Vulcan Sunrise and Rollin Suntech are 1.95 mm blankets designed for the latest UV applications, such as LE/HUV and LED UV. Providing all of the benefits of the Dynatech System, such as excellent smash and edge mark resistance plus better vibration absorption, the new blankets enable first class solids and halftone reproduction, eliminating ink back-trapping and embossing.

Bora continued, “All of our dealers at PrintPack India will display Trelleborg’s official distributor sign on their stands and so will be easy to spot while walking around the halls. Representatives from Trelleborg will be available throughout the event and we look forward to discussing with printers how we can help to improve the effectiveness of their printing blankets.”

Bora is also one of several speakers at the forthcoming NPES Print Business Outlook Conference 2017, which is taking place on February 5th at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida. His talk is titled New Age Printing Blankets for High Efficiency Printing.
