From 10th to 13th of November the India Expo Center in Greater Noida (outskirts of Delhi) hosted Labelexpo India 2022 trade fair, devoted to narrow-web companies, mainly from the region of Asia. Flexo Image Graphics, the long-term distributor of Mark Andy and Rotoflex in India and selected neighboring countries, was among more than 250 exhibitors of the show. According to organizers, Labelexpo India – held after a four year’s gap – was the most successful edition in its history. The event hosted approx. 12 000 guests, more than 20% comparing to its previous edition in 2018.
Tom Cavalco, Executive Vice President Mark Andy, says: “Considering the cancelled Brussels-based European edition of Labelexpo, we were extremely happy to present and promote our solutions during two other Labelexpo shows as it’s a very important global series of events for every printer and converter operating in narrow-web label and packaging markets. In September, during Labelexpo Americas in Chicago, we demonstrated three hybrid presses, including this year’s premiere – a toner-based Digital Pro MAX. Recently, during Labelexpo India, together with our long-term partner – Flexo Image Graphics, we had an opportunity to present our newest flexo and digital/hybrid offer to many current and possible customers from India and neighboring countries”.
Gourav Roy, Managing Director of Flexo Image Graphics, adds: “We noted a very big interest in advanced solutions from Mark Andy – our strategic business partner for many years. We signed several contracts, mainly with Indian and Chinese companies. For a longer time increasing number of new business prospects concerns digital and hybrid solutions. We observe its growing popularity in our region of the world as increasing number of label and converters have already bought them or seriously consider this kind of investment”.
Tom Cavalco confirms: “Mark Andy the entire year 2022 has run under the “hybrid” motto. We have implemented many solutions of this kind in the recent 12 months. Moreover, some presses have been ordered by the current users of Mark Andy’s hybrid solutions. The events, either organized by our company or the ones we’ve participated in, also were dominated by integrating digital and conventional technologies in one process. “Digital” was the main motto of our booth at the Labelexpo Americas trade fair. We also focused on these solutions during Open House and Digital Days held at our Polish- and American-based Technology Centers. We have also noted increasing popularity of hybrids in many other regions of the world e.g. Asian countries. According to many customers of Mark Andy, hybrid technology became a key driver of their development and in some cases – an inevitable part of their production set”.
Gourav Roy adds: “Majority of the customers who visited our booth consider further investment and expansion of their business. Labelexpo India was the perfect place to meet and discuss new prospects as digital is increasingly popular either among label converters or commercial and flexible substrate printers, looking for new, more efficient solutions for inline production. Concluding, it was a good show and we look forward to the new contracts following it, considering that buying decisions in our region are currently made basing on attractive price and quick availability”.
