“We have established a very good customer base with sustainable growth in Bangladesh," said Ashish Pradhan, director Siegwerk Bangladesh Limited. "We now want to get closer to our customers supporting them more effectively with individually formulated ink solutions which match their local printing requirements.”
Presently, inks are imported from Siegwerk’s plant in India.
Going forward, the new center will blend solvent- and water-based inks, as well as UV and conventional offset inks directly in Bangladesh.
“The new Blending Center will enable us to make our products and solutions even more accessible to local customers and enhance our service capabilities across the country while strengthening our leadership position,” Pradhan said.
The new center will be a toluene-free environment. This means, toluene, or any raw materials containing toluene, will not be used as intentionally-added ingredients at all. All produced inks will be compliant with global regulatory and brand owner requirements to ensure products are safe for the end-use packaging applications.
