Multi Hitech, a manufacturer of precision-engineered rollers, cylinders, and tooling for the label printing industry, has invested about Rs 10 crore to expand its gear manufacturing capabilities at its Greater Noida plant.
With an eye on India’s growing role as a global production hub, the company is expanding its precision engineering capabilities to support narrow-web press manufacturers. It is strengthening its position as a supplier to narrow-web flexographic press manufacturers through investments in advanced machinery and precision engineering.
Speaking at Loupe India 2026, Sidhant Garg, director of Multi Hitech, said the new facility at its Greater Noida plant would enable the company to manufacture and supply high-accuracy master gears to its customers.
“We have installed a gear facility at our premises, which will help supply high-accuracy master gears to our customers. We have invested approximately Rs 10 crore in these machines,” Garg said.
Business recovery and India’s manufacturing opportunities
Discussing the business environment, Garg said the beginning of FY 2026-27 was relatively slow, following a period of subdued activity toward the end of the previous financial year. The market, however, subsequently picked up, with the company receiving multiple orders. “It was a little bit slow this year initially, but now it is going at a very good pace,” he said.
Garg sees considerable opportunities emerging from the increasing interest of European press manufacturers in establishing manufacturing operations in India and other Asian markets. With manufacturing costs rising in Europe, he believes India is well positioned to become an important production base for label printing machinery.
“It’s a very big opportunity. The cost of manufacturing in European regions is getting very high. Ultimately, the new market and the new production hub is going to be India,” he said.
For Multi Hitech, this shift could translate into increased demand for rollers, gears and other tooling. The company’s business is closely linked to the growth of press manufacturers, including companies such as UV Graphics, Multitech, Alliance, and Webtech, among others.
“If they make more machines, I will make more rollers. I see this as a huge advantage,” Garg said, adding Multi Hitech could supply international manufacturers from production facilities in India.
Looking ahead, Multi Hitech is working on a sleeve-related project in response to the changing requirements of newer printing machines. Garg said the company is developing its capabilities and planning to showcase its sleeve offerings at Printpack 2027, subject to the project’s progress.
Reflecting on its participation at Loupe India 2026, Garg said the exhibition offered access to a focused audience from the label printing industry. With its stand positioned opposite the registration counter, the company benefited from considerable visibility among visitors.
Exhibitions, he explained, are generally platforms where converters evaluate and finalise printing machinery, with tooling requirements emerging subsequently. “Once they have finalized their machine, they come to us for the tooling and other requirements,” he said.
For Multi Hitech, the combination of investments in precision manufacturing, established OEM relationships and emerging opportunities in India’s label press manufacturing ecosystem is expected to support its next phase of growth.
