Heidelberg to supply two presses to Parksons Packaging in India

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,” explains Ramesh Kejriwal, founder and Chairman of Parksons Packaging.

“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,” says Ramesh Kejriwal.

Like the Speedmaster CX 102 presses already in use in the company, the new machines are also equipped with Prinect Inpress Control for automatic verification and control of color and register on the fly.

The new Speedmaster CX 102 generation is also easy to use thanks to the Prinect Press Center XL 2 and the integrated Intellistart 2 software. It guides the operator through the workflows and calculates the fastest way of changing from one job to another.

The first new drupa machine will be installed at the end of this year, and the second will follow early next year.
