Quarterfold Printabilities adds value with Komori
Being a leading and fast-growing print and publishing company in India and beyond, Navi Mumbai-based Quarterfold Printabilities (QFP) boasts of its internationally recognised reputation and globally acclaimed products. Nevertheless, the company has what it takes to become what they are today, because of its perseverance, dedicated efforts, commitment to quality, and the machines it owns.

“We sincerely commit to fulfil the demands of our customers to the best of our abilities,” Manoj Dhankani, managing director of Quarterfold Printabilities. He said they are empowered with strings of best-in-class machines and equipment now running productively in their pre-press, press, and post-press divisions at three production units at Taloja MIDC in Navi Mumbai. Of them, two Komori presses play a pivotal role in maintaining quality and productivity.
Established in 2014, Quarterfold Printabilities largely involves in printing and production of educational books for kindergarten up to higher studies. “We aim to provide accurate designing, printing, and production of high-quality books using high-end machines. We unfolded a big shift in quality printing with a brand-new Komori Lithrone A437 in 2018,” Dhankani said, adding, “Before that, we used to run a pre-owned Ryobi press whose result was not up to the mark.”
He added, “In short, our investment in the brand-new Komori was value for money for us indeed. That’s why we went for the second Komori press, yet another brand new Lithrone GL437, in 2022. A good thing about our association with Komori over the last six years is that we haven’t had any technical or other issue with them till date.”
Using a fleet of advanced machines, which include the two Komori presses, Quarterfold Printabilities prints around five to six billion impressions a month, with over a thousand of makeready or changeover times. “In this, our machines are capable enough to give us the right outputs we want. As we are concerned about quality which our clients demand, we never let them down because we have the Komori to pull it off,” Dhankani said.
According to him, most of the company’s offshore clients are predominantly in Africa. “They are in Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast... and in central Africa we have some of them in Cameroon. Also, we have started supplying our educational books to clients in eastern African countries like Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, etc,” he said.
He added, “In addition to the African countries, we have recently expanded our offshore client base by reaching out to Mexico, Germany and UK. After all, we have a vast client base in the Indian market too. We could make everything so successful because of our team’s commitment and fleet of high-end machines we own, including the two komori presses.”
He continued, “Our primary reason for investing in the two Komori presses was because of the brand’s historic recognition in the industry for its technological advancement. Another advantage is the team Komori India’s unconditional pre-sales and after-sales services which help us grow, along with them. We treat Komori India not as our vendor but a business partner. They give excellent training to our working team and they attend us whenever we need them.”
On the efficiency of Komori presses, Dhankani said they are 95% satisfied in terms of quality and productivity. “We would say the Komori presses are best and consistent. When we talk about the overall quality of outputs and delivery schedules, our customers are happy with that. We are now planning to diversify into new verticals with new units. In this, needless to say, Komori will always be our partner,” he concludes.
