Siegwerk Blending Center to Supply Toluene-free Inks to Bangladesh Market

Siegwerk inaugurated its new Blending Center in the Dhaka region of Bangladesh. 

 

Spread over 65,000 square feet, the center will host customized solutions for the Bangladesh market. 

 

The Blending center will generate direct and indirect employment for close to 50 people in Bangladesh, according to Siegwerk.

 

Siegwerk said it has been supplying printing ink in Bangladesh since the mid-1990s. 

 

“The Blending Center will not only allow us to be closer to our customers in the Bangladesh region but will also allow us to expand our offerings. We can now offer customized, individually formulated safe ink solutions through our latest blending technology”, said Ashish Pradhan, president Asia, Siegwerk. “Siegwerk used to supply inks from its plant in India until recently. The new center is already commissioned and has completely taken over the supply of blended inks from February 2021. This facility will help us solve technical issues locally and provide additional technical support with less turnaround time. 

 

“Our customers now have the advantage of receiving a faster response to their technical issues and selecting custom-made solutions that match their printing requirements. The blending center will supply Toluene-free safe inks and is at par with global standards,” added Pradhan. 

 

The Blending center manufactures and supplies Toluene-free inks, to ensure health and safety to consumers of packaged food. 

 

Toluene or any raw materials containing toluene, won’t be used as intentionally added ingredients in this facility, according to Siegwerk. 

 

The inks produced will be compliant with global regulatory and brand owner requirements to ensure products are safe for end-use packaging applications, according to Siegwerk. 

 

Siegwerk currently has more than 31 Blending Centers worldwide.
