Hyderabad-based SLNS Graphics, a provider of printed commodities, has expanded its production infrastructure with the addition of an AccurioPress C7100. The new press marks its third installation with Konica Minolta, following 25 years of experience in the printing sector.
Founded by Pabba Venugopal as an independent venture, rather than a family business, the company has steadily strengthened and diversified its capabilities over the years. Its progress has been fuelled by extensive domain expertise, ongoing investment in advanced printing technologies, and a steadfast focus on delivering reliable, high-quality solutions to its clients.
Venugopal says, “The decision to invest in Konica Minolta stemmed from our strong experience with the two existing systems, as well as the C7100’s automation capabilities, reliable output consistency, and flexibility across varied print applications. Our continued trust in the brand’s performance and dependability played a key role in this investment.”
“Konica Minolta ensured a smooth installation process by offering prompt technical assistance and operational support. As our team is well-versed in digital printing workflows, the training requirement was minimal; nevertheless, their service and support teams remained easily accessible, helping us integrate the machine efficiently and commence full-scale operations without disruption,” he adds.
In addition to Konica Minolta’s printing systems, it has strengthened its infrastructure with a full range of post-press equipment. This includes perfect binding, pin binding, program cutting, sticker shape cutting, and spiral binding machines. These finishing capabilities enable SLNS Graphics to offer seamless, end-to-end printing and post-production solutions entirely in-house.
On businesses, Venugopal remarked, “Our core clientele comprises a balanced mix of independent professionals and established businesses. We work closely with freelance designers and creative entrepreneurs, while providing solutions to Paradise Restaurants, Visista Gold & Diamonds, and Emmadi Jewellers, supporting their regular printing requirements with consistent quality and dependable service with products such as brochures, menu cards and other promotional collateral.”
The addition of the AccurioPress C7100 is expected to significantly contribute to its expansion plan. Installed at the second branch, it allows the company to enter new markets, expand its clientele, and increase overall production capacity, Venugopal said. “While investment is still in its initial phase, we are confident of achieving strong returns as volumes grow and the new unit stabilises operationally,” he concludes.
