Sakata Inx promoted its range of UV flexo inks for label applications at Labelexpo India 2024 in Greater Noida.
“Sakata is a known name in the gravure and offset segments. In the UV segment, particularly UV sheetfed and UV flexo, we started about a year back at our state-of-the-art plant in Panoli with an annual capacity of about 1,200 metric tons,” Sanjay Kaul, head – marketing & sales (Liquid Inks) at Sakata Inx India, said.
Sakata has two ink manufacturing plants in India – one in Bhiwadi in Rajasthan and the other in Panoli in Gujarat. The Bhiwadi plant started manufacturing inks in India in 1998. In both the plants, Sakata manufactures all types of inks.
The UV inks are produced in the Panoli plant with technology from INX, its US subsidiary. In the last 8 to 10 months, the company has gained a good market share in the UV segment with a focus to target the topnotch players in the industry, Kaul said.
The company participated in Labelexpo India 2024 to gain a foothold in the labels segment, Kaul said, adding the UV products have been tried and tested in the US. By the next year, we are hoping to grow by 200% in the UV flexo segment, he said, adding Sakata Inx is growing in India at 9% overall.
The company had a lot of good interactions with existing and prospective customers during Labelexpo, he said.
