A well-known 20-year-old pre-press house, Kolkata-based Vanshika Graphics switched to commercial printing a couple of years ago with the purchase of a brand new Komori Enthrone 429 sheetfed offset press from Komori India. Yet another brand new Komori press arriving shortly – a GL437 – will help Vanshika add capacity to its commercial printing section.
Sanjay Sureka, proprietor of Vanshika Graphics, said, “Ever since we started engaging in commercial printing in 2024 with the Enthrone 429, it has been our mission to buy one or more brand new Komori presses for taking our commercial printing to the next level. We finalized the booking of the new 4-color Lithrone GL437 during the Pack-O-Printex 2026 expo held on 15–18 May in Kolkata. This new Komori press is packed with modern features and advanced capabilities which we have been looking for.”
Despite being a complete pre-press house, equipped fully with high-end platesetter and CtP machines, serving a host of printers across Kolkata for over the last two decades, Vanshika Graphics is now pushing its commercial printing capabilities.
“Certainly, with the installation of the newly booked Lithrone GL437 in a few months, we will definitely boost the value and productivity of our commercial printing for delivering an expanded range of finished products such as calendars, booklets, brochures, pamphlets, marketing collateral, etc.”
Chosen by Vanshika Graphics for its modern features and capabilities, the Lithrone GL437 is an engineered sheetfed offset press for high-volume commercial printing. It operates at the maximum speed of 15,000sph (sheets per hour), with an inline coater, seamlessly handling sheets of sizes up to 640x940mm. Stocks in thicknesses ranging from 0.04mm up to 0.45mm are compatibly handled by the Komori GL437, while it could be up to 0.6mm or more in other commercial variants.
“In addition to the brand Komori and technology behind it, we are happy and satisfied to be with the team Komori India who are truly amiable and supportive,” Sureka says.
Jitender Rohilla, general manager–sales, Komori India, says, “It’s been our pride and privilege to be partnered with Vanshika Graphics as our valued client over the last couple of years. Continuing their trust and confidence upon the Komori technology, they have booked the Komori GL437 to elevate commercial printing. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to providing them with more new presses as per their needs and requirements in the future.”
Asked about their next plan on the printing front, Sureka said they plan a 7-color Komori press’ with which Vanshika Graphics will enter the packaging printing arena, most probably in two years. Backed by a team of 45 skilled and experienced staff members, Vanshika Graphics is now on the road to expanding its overall activities with the constant adoptions of modern and high-end machines like the newly booked Komori GL437.
