Dantex signs digital distributor partnership for Indian sub-continent
Underlining their ongoing commitment to expand their digital business globally, Dantex’s digital division, part of the Dantex Group, has recently signed a new distributor partnership with Printers Supply – a Kolkata, India-based supplier of print solutions to the labels market.
The agreement, which covers the Pico range of digital UV inkjet printing press equipment and related consumables for the Indian subcontinent territory, namely India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, follows similar agreements covering the MEA region and South Africa.
Commenting on the arrangement, Printers Supply’s managing director, Amitabh Luthra, said, “Dantex, with its many years of experience in the packaging industry, has an excellent understanding of market requirements and is a trusted solutions provider. Having a similar mindset, we felt that it would be an ideal and constructive partnership.
The Pico range
“There is a marked increase in short-run print jobs as the Indian label market is expanding, and obviously, digital is the only way to go to meet this demand. In terms of print quality and cost economy, the PicoColour and PicoJet cater to key market requirements and customer needs.”
“Printers Supply are well placed in the Indian sub-continent to provide service and support to their customers in their digital journey,” added Simon Cosh, digital business development manager for the Dantex Pico range. “The Pico range offers high quality, efficient solutions with low cost of ownership, and we look forward to supporting Amitabh and his team in delivering commercial success to label printers in this region and helping them become more competitive.”
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
