MBR Flexibles adds two Mark Andy flexo presses from FIG

A division of MBR Group, Ahmedabad, India-based MBR Flexibles has enhanced its printing and production of labels and flexible packaging with investment in two Mark Andy flexographic presses from Flexo Image Graphics (FIG), distributor and service provider of flexo presses and associated equipment in the Indian sub-continent.             

The converter chose Mark Andy 2200 and Mark Andy Evolution Series E5 for label printing. 

Sahil Chopra, director of MBR Flexibles, said: ‘Over the years, or say decades, we have carved out a reputation for ourselves in the industry as a provider of quality products printed and produced using best-in-class machines and equipment. In this, the Mark Andy machines meet our standards.’ 

Established in the 1960s, MBR Group has been in the business of dye-chemicals, textile auxiliaries, and bulk intermediates. Extension of MBR Flexibles as the group’s imperative division took place in 2010 for exclusive engagement in flexible packaging manufacturing and high-end label printing in two production units.  

‘The two Mark Andy presses in our facility are ideal for handling all kinds of high-end labels of all standards which we produce for our highly quality-conscious clients from different sectors,’ mentioned Chopra. 

He added: ‘In fact, our back-to-back installations of the Mark Andy 2200 and Mark Andy Evolution Series E5 have dawned a new phase for us to cater to a newer range of products such as shrink sleeves, in-mold labels (IML) and more. Moreover, these two highly advanced flexographic presses significantly boost flexibility in our overall production of premium quality labels and flexible packaging solutions.’ 

Prior to the two Mark Andy presses, MBR Flexibles had invested in many other machines from FIG, including a Rhyguan SMART 450 slitter-rewinder.  

‘We just have booked yet another Rhyguan Smart 450 HMS inspection rewinder from FIG. It’s been great to be partnered with them for years with all these highly efficient and productive machines,” said Chopra. ‘After all, the team FIG’s unconditional post-sales support is truly commendable.’ 

FIG has a customer support department operating through its main office in Delhi and branches in Mumbai and Chennai. In addition to Mark Andy and Rhyguan, the company is India representative of other big international brands such as Rotoflex, Kluge, KDS Quantum, Presstek and DYM Machinery. The company’s customer base of Mark Andy and Rhyguan machines is expanding with constant adoptions by prominent label and packaging companies such as MBR Flexibles.  

With a team of 200 staff, MBR Flexibles is managed by a league of young and enthusiastic directors, Sahil Chopra and Yash Chopra, directors of MBR Flexibles, who spearhead the division’s label printing unit. Siddharth Chopra, Sagar Chopra, and Mohit Chopra, directors of MBR Flexibles, take care of the flexible packaging manufacturing unit. The company currently offers a range of cost-effective, durable, sustainable, range of labels as well as flexible packaging to customers in the food and beverage sectors.
