New Delhi-based Convertech showcased its smart doctor blade solutions for flexo and gravure printing and witnessed strong engagement and renewed industry visibility at PlastIndia 2026 in New Delhi, Sandeep Madan said.
Madan said the company’s return to the exhibition after a gap has delivered encouraging results in terms of footfall and customer interaction. He described the event as a broad-based platform that attracts participants not only from the printing sector but also from plastics and packaging, making it valuable for reaching a wider audience. He said the company viewed its presence as both a way to connect with new customers and reinforce relationships with existing clients, particularly those already sourcing products from Convertech.
The company is increasingly focusing on regional outreach, with plans to participate in exhibitions beyond major hubs such as Delhi. Madan pointed to cities such as Bengaluru as key locations offering strong visitor turnout and access to diverse industry segments.
At the exhibition, Convertech showcased a range of products aimed at improving efficiency while keeping costs manageable for customers. Madan highlighted newly developed blades manufactured from specialized steel, designed to offer longer operational life compared to standard alternatives. He explained that the company’s approach is centred on delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that help printers maintain performance without significantly increasing expenses.
He said Convertech positions itself as a provider of essential components that contribute to overall process efficiency, rather than focusing solely on premium-priced offerings. Several products in its portfolio are designed to strike a balance between durability and affordability, addressing the needs of cost-conscious customers.
Commenting on the broader industry, Madan expressed optimism about the growth trajectory of India’s packaging sector. He pointed to rising investments in machinery and the steady expansion of production capacities, driven by strong domestic consumption and increasing purchasing power.
The flexible packaging segment, particularly CI flexo printing, has witnessed notable growth in recent years. Madan observed that the adoption of domestically manufactured flexo machines has increased, with improving print quality narrowing the gap with traditional gravure processes. He noted that earlier concerns around flexo quality are gradually diminishing as technology advances and user confidence grows.
According to Madan, local machine manufacturers are performing well, supported by strong demand from converters investing in new equipment. He added that the shift towards flexo reflects both cost considerations and evolving quality standards in the industry.
