Insight Print Communications has launched a strategic expansion initiative into the GCC and African markets. This growth has been driven by a collaboration with Age Graphics Equipment, a leading supplier of prepress, software, postpress equipment, and consumables for the printing and packaging industry in the region for over 20 years. Based in the GCC, this new entity has been officially named Age Insight Technologies.
The partnership aims to empower print service providers across the GCC and Africa with advanced technology, prepress solutions, digital embellishment, and inkjet web press systems. Age Insight combines Insight Print Communications’ technical expertise in service support with Age Graphics Equipment’s strong presence and customer base.
George Kannamalla Mathew leads this strategic initiative, with Jay Krishna Valluru and Mohit Ahluwalia currently serving as board of directors of Age Insight. Their thoughtful leadership and deep market expertise will drive the execution of this expansion, ensuring meeting evolving market demands and customers’ expectations.
“Each market brings its own set of customers and demands. We’ve seen great success in the Indian market, and this expansion is a natural progression of our vision. Our goal is to empower print service providers to adopt digital and sustainable printing solutions, these two are the pillars of the future of printing. Now, we’re extending this vision to the GCC and African markets, helping the print market embrace innovation, drive efficiency, and stay future-ready.” said Ajay Aggarwal, MD and CEO of Insight Print Communications.
“At Age Insight, we are offering the latest solutions to the market — including the Atexco Inkjet Webpress, Scodix Digital Embellishment, Kodak Computer-to-Plate systems, and Verico Plates. And this is just the beginning. We’re committed to expanding our portfolio and introducing more and more innovative technologies to empower our customers in their print transformation journey.” Adds Mathew.
Print markets are evolving rapidly, particularly in the GCC and Africa, where print service providers are increasingly seeking solutions that are profitable, sustainable, and digitally advanced. Recognizing this shift, Age Insight has established strategic partnerships to deliver precisely these value-driven offerings.
Through its collaboration with Kodak, Age Insight is promoting thermal CTP systems and environmentally friendly prepress solutions, including process-free plates that reduce electricity consumption and eliminate the need for chemical treatments.
In partnership with Scodix, the company is introducing cutting-edge digital embellishment technology that significantly reduces material wastage compared to traditional foiling methods, while transforming value-added printing into a powerful profit driver.
With Atexco, Age Insight brings to the region high-performance digital web press solutions for publishers and offset printers, enabling efficient, on-demand book production, eliminating the MOQ, and entire prepress process from plate making, chemicals, logistics, etc.
Age Insight recently hosted a successful open house event at Silver Point – The Print House in Dubai, marking the first installation of the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD in the region. The event drew enthusiastic participation from print professionals from Dubai and India, offering a firsthand look at how cutting-edge digital embellishment is redefining print possibilities.
This promising start sets the tone for what lies ahead. With a clear vision, strong partnerships, and a growing portfolio of world-class solutions Insight is poised to become a driving force in the GCC countries and African print landscape, enabling printers to innovate, grow, and lead in a new era of digital and sustainable print.
