Nilesh Todi, managing director, Canpac Trends, said, “Being an existing user, K&B was a natural choice. We ordered two printing presses at the same time because one machine will be dedicated to specialised UV jobs and the other for regular multi-colour printed jobs. Both the presses will be delivered by October and November this year. We are planning to start the printing production in January 2022.”
Aditya Surana of Indo-Polygraph Machinery, said, “K&B is proud to have maximum market share, especially when it comes to high configured, high automated and long presses. All top converters in India are using K&B presses and our customer retainership ratio is also highest when compared with our competition.”
The machines will be installed at Canpac’s new plant in Kolkata. Various die-cutter, Bobst and DGM folder-gluers and several others machine are also a part of the new plant.
