New Delhi-based CGSASP, a significant manufacturer of graphic arts machines and consumables, exhibits at the PrintPack India show once again. The well-known brand in the printing and packaging sector specializes in printing chemicals and packaging machines. As the packaging production accelerates, carton converters are investing in higher speed machines with better technology and standard spare parts, less downtime and wastage but with the right and appropriate quality for the purpose, says Kunal Gandhi, director of CGSASP. Hunkeler, Cito, Kirk-Rudy, Winkler+Dünnebier, Delta, Cutlite Penta, Perivo, Martin Miller, Richly Top, Nor-Graphic, and Tresu Group are among the overseas brands for which CGSASP is the only distributor. Cito products, Martin Miller steel rules, Renova brakes and roll pushers, Policart anvil covers, Lead edge Apac strips and plate carriers, Printguard jackets, Hunkeler waste evacuation systems, Tresu Chambers, and Sandon anilox rollers will all be on show in Hall 9B, Stand F23 at PrintPack India. CGSASP has received a strong business-like response at PrintPack India. Since this is the first in-person PrintPack exhibition since the pandemic, CGSASP is absorbing a great deal of market and trade-related information from visitors to its stand about what’s going on in the industry. “We are seeking to interact with a lot of our current clients since we haven’t been able to meet them since the pandemic began,” said Gandhi. “CGSASP has entered into a joint venture with LeadEdge Flexo, and we call it ‘LeadEdge Flexo Apac.’ Here at PrintPack India, we are launching it, and it will benefit our business and the market,” concludes Gandhi.
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.
The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.
Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.
As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.
