And now at this show we have an even big- ger stand of 385 square meters. “From July 2012, in a span of 6 years, we have moved up as one of the most trusted machinery suppliers and, according to me, we hold the top posi- tion in customer service support. At eve- ry edition of Printpack, we have been showing new breakthrough technology through live demonstrations – be it the first LED UV machine in 2015 or the Multi wave LED UV lamp in 2017. “Starting from today, we will give a demo on all the products on offer from us in this Printpack. The importance of the Indian print market should be understood from the fact that we have with us 23 top and senior executives representing several Japanese compa- nies that we represent. “In the last 5 years, we have suc- cessfully sold and installed 70 RMGT presses across India and have reached a stable market share of around 20%. This year, despite tough economic situ- ation, we were able to ship 16 presses so far with more coming in before the financial year ends on 31 March.” At its stand, Provin is showcasing an RMGT 920 ST 6-color plus coater UV press and the Miyakoshi intermit- tent narrow web hybrid press – the MLP13C. It has five offset units and two flexo units. Both presses will run with UV Energy’s Multi wave LED UV curing systems which can cure conven- tional UV ink and varnishes. PROVIN’S JOINT VENTURE WITH TECHNO ROLL OF JAPAN Kaushal went on to make an announce- ment of Provin’s new joint venture project in collaboration with Japan’s Techno Roll, saying, “In our constant pursuit to provide high-quality solu- tions to the Indian printing industry, we are pleased to announce our association with Techno Roll Japan for manufactur- ing of high-quality PU and NBR roll- ers for all types of printing machines for the Indian market. We are setting up a joint venture company with Techno Roll Japan under the name of Techno Roll-Provin India Pvt. Ltd. We expect the new company to be operational by October 2019, subject to all govern- ment clearances.” Established in 1979, Techno Roll Co. Ltd., Japan has five manufactur- ing units in Japan and various licencees across the world. Techno Roll is an OEM supplier to many reputed print- ing machinery manufacturers in Japan and other parts of the world. Kaushal introduced Eeji Asao, president, Eeji Horrike, manager, International Sales, and Santosh, International Sales and Kaibara, assistant manager, Technical, R&D department of Techno Roll who will be at Printpack throughout the show. Kaushal also revealed that Provin and RMGT will be showcasing a new technology that they will put into action in India for servicing and maintenance of offset presses. He explained, “We are also pleased to showcase for the first time in India, a unique service concept called ‘Smart Glass.’ This unique inno- vation was introduced by RMGT during IGAS 2018 last year and India becomes the first country outside Japan where this will now be implemented. With the implementation of this system, our customers will be able to get real-time service support by getting connected to our service support server using the de- vice. The device is capable of transfer- ring live feed with data transfer and on- the-spot notes, and advice can be given by the back-end engineer who may be sitting in Japan, based on the feed given from the site.” At Provin’s stand there is another new technology – a smart concept me- chanical pile turner from Edics System in Japan. Kaushal added, “Edics built this system and holds a patent for the design. This space-saving, easy-to- operate pile turning system can be very useful for Indian customers.” In answer to a couple of questions from the trade journalists present, Kaushal said that the joint venture rub- ber roller plant will be in the Delhi- NCR and that its initial annual capacity will be for manufacturing 20,000 PU and NBR rubber rollers.
