Welbound is a leading supplier of machines, adhesives and services to the bookbinding industry in India. The Kerala-based manufacturer showcased a medium-speed adhesive binder that employs all the technologies in gluing – water-based, hotmelts and PUR during PrintPack 2017. Their inline perfect binder with signature gatherer - Velocity 5000 has been drawing a lot of interest recently

Sajith concluded, "Since my early days as a child in Kerala I loved to read.  I loved books.  Words of the great masters helped me understand why playwrights and poets wrote or people like us quoted it. Of course the books I read were few, but because they were few I read and re-read them. That’s how I remember paragraphs by heart in a MT Vasudevan Nair or a Vaikom Mohammed Basheer novel or a quotation in Marquez or Kafka. The books I read were history and fiction and more recently crime thrillers like Henning Mankell and Andrea Camillieri – plus what they call magical realism. Basically, all I could get.  I read everything I could find. Nothing gives me greater joy than to be among books. That’s why my business and my pleasure is the same thing."
