Katsura Roller India PL, a joint venture between Provin Technos Private Limited and Katsura Roller Mfg. Co., Ltd., Japan, has established itself in Faridabad as a trusted manufacturer of premium-quality printing rollers for the Indian offset printing industry.
Combining Katsura’s over 125 years of Japanese roller manufacturing expertise with Provin Technos’ 14+ years of experience in selling and servicing offset, flexo, and digital presses to the Indian printing industry, the joint venture company is delivering high-quality roller solutions, backed by local manufacturing, technical support, and faster service.
So far, the company has been refurbishing and supplying rubber rollers for commercial, publication, and packaging offset presses, designed for superior print quality, longer service life, and reliable press performance.
Having met with considerable success in the market and approval from many of the leading multicolor press owners, Katsura Roller India has grown even in the last two and a half years and, in a significant expansion of its manufacturing assets and capabilities, is now able to produce rubber rollers of up to 3,000 mm (3 meters) in length. This enables the company to manufacture double-width rollers for high-speed double-width newspaper printing presses, which are mostly imported, as well as rollers for other large-format applications.
The expansion addresses a critical requirement of the Indian printing industry, where large-format, high-quality rollers have depended on imports. Katsura Roller India’s local manufacture offers customers shorter lead times, quicker technical support, improved availability, and reduced downtime, while maintaining high-quality Japanese and global standards.
The manufacturing facility is equipped with advanced technology, precision grinding and refining systems, and rigorous quality control procedures that adhere to Japan’s global manufacturing standards. Each roller is made with premium-quality rubber compounds and precision engineering to enable consistent ink and dampening transfer, exceptional dimensional accuracy, increased durability, and reliable performance on high-speed presses.
With this expansion, Katsura Roller India further strengthens its position as a comprehensive roller manufacturing partner to the Indian printing industry. It continues to invest in technology, assets, manufacturing excellence, and customer support by offering globally benchmarked roller solutions manufactured locally.
As the Indian printing industry continues to modernize, Katsura Roller India remains committed to helping printers improve productivity, print quality, and press performance through innovative roller technology, Japanese engineering excellence, and responsive local service. This has been a Provin tradition, and the rapid growth of its joint venture exemplifies its sticking to the procedures and quality specifications and checks insisted on by its Japanese partner.
