Esko partners with Bobst in India

The first manifestation of this agreement will be visible at the Bobst factory in Pune from February 26-28 at the Competence ’15 event. The three-day Competence ’15 open house event will showcase the entire carton converting workflow to customers from India, South-East Asia and the Middle East.

 

Along with the recently launched Bobst Novacut 106 ER die-cutting unit, the brand new LILA II 145 folder gluer and the in-line Accucheck inspection system, the Esko workflow using ArtiosCAD software for the structural design of cartons and the Kongsberg V20 cutting table will be demonstrated at the forthcoming open house event.

 

Venugopal Menon, vice president of Bobst India, said: ‘Many of our partners will also show machines and technologies. We are particularly happy to have come to an agreement with Esko, which allows our demonstration center in Pune to show the structural design of cartons and the creation of prototypes. Esko also helps us in our blanking tooling project.’

 

Shrihari Rao, sales director of Esko India, said: ‘Bobst is the benchmark for quality and productivity in the carton and corrugated market segments. Esko is the benchmark for CAD/CAM packaging design and pre-press solutions. Esko’s ArtiosCAD, which is widely used by the packaging industry, complete with the die-making module is now installed at the Bobst India demonstration center. 

 

‘Now, customers can see a carton converting workflow starting from carton design, to prototyping and mass production using Bobst’s die-cutting and folder gluer machines at one demo site. 

‘Indian packaging industry can surely benefit from the Esko-Bobst partnership for the Bobst India demonstration center and the blanking and tooling project there.’
