Vinsak ships first direct laser engraving system to Uflex Industries

P K Agarwal, joint president, Uflex cylinder division, said, ‘We have been looking at the DLE technology for a couple of years now. For all our wide web customers in house as well as overseas, the need to have solvent free plates and sleeves has become essential. After careful evaluation of all manufacturers, we found that the hybrid technology being offered by Lead Lasers was ideal for us and for the Indian market. We are sure that the adoption of this technology will bring us to a position of market leadership in the flexo pre-press space in the very near future.’

 

Arthur Vander Weijden, managing director, Lead Lasers said, ‘We are delighted with our relationship with Vinsak who gave us the opportunity of being able to install the first system in India which is a focus market for us in the near future. We continue to develop the DLE technology with a strong focus on the flexo market and believe very strongly that in the coming years elastomers plates and sleeves will offer the pre-press that flexo needs to get out of the dependence on photo-sensitive materials which are neither eco-friendly nor easy to make or use.’

 

Vinsak re-affirms its pledge to the Indian market to bring technology ahead of the times to the country to enable the market to compete on a global scale in terms of quality. Ranesh Bajaj, director, Vinsak, said, ‘Uflex has always been our key account in India and their appreciation of technology makes our work much easier. While the competition is still offering variants of photosensitive plate production to improve print quality and perhaps keeping the Indian market devoid of access to elastomers and DLE, our vision has always to bring the latest to our customers and ensure that Indian packaging companies are at par with the globe. This DLE installation is the first in India and perhaps the first in South Asia and Middle East as well.’
