Parksons Packaging Ltd. Orders Two Speedmaster Presses from Heidelberg

Parksons Packaging Ltd., one of the biggest packaging print shops in India, ordered two of the latest generation Speedmaster CX 102 presses on the spot at drupa 2016. The company has developed a strong partnership with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) since its establishment in 1996, and has installed numerous Heidelberg presses over the years.
 
“Two years ago we were looking around for a press capable of producing the increasingly short runs in packaging printing quickly and economically, and decided on the Speedmaster CX 102 after a long search,” explained Ramesh Kejriwal, founder and chairman of Parksons Packaging. “It exceeded our expectations, and we ended up installing two more CX 102 presses.
 
“The new machines will mean shorter makeready times, faster job changes, and greater automation. This high productivity is all the more important for us given the steady increase in labor costs in India,” said Kejriwal. “These two new machines will mean fast resumption of production after the many ink changes we are faced with in packaging printing, and the high level of automation will ensure high quality with less waste. Our business has grown by 25% CAGR in the last 10 years, and we want to invest carefully to continue this growth in the future.”
 
Parksons Packaging Ltd. has its headquarters in Mumbai and four other production locations in India. The company employs more than 1,200 people in total and produces high-quality folding cartons for discerning customers in India as well as international manufacturers of branded goods. It processes more than 70,000 metric tons of cardboard each year.
