Sai Com Codes makes double Nilpeter investment

Some of the features of the 8-color presses chosen by the company include cold foil, turnbar, delam, relam, automatic plate positioning, chill drums, pre-register and re-register.

The deal, confirmed at Labelexpo India 2016, follows Sai Com Codes’ opening of a second plant in Guwahati, as reported here.

A Nilpeter house, Sai Com Codes has a total of four presses installed in Sonepat with the fifth to be shipped in January 2017; the second new press is going to the plant in Guwahati.

Harish Gupta, managing director at Sai Com Codes, said: ‘We have all Nilpeter presses and we intend to continue buying Nilpeter presses because we are happy with the performance. Nilpeter and Sai Com Codes are growing together in the country.’

Jakob Landberg, sales and marketing director at Nilpeter, added: ‘Sai Com Codes is one of our biggest customers in India. We expect to soon ship a Nilpeter press manufactured in Denmark to the company as well. We are very pleased with their growth in the region.’

Talking of Labelexpo India, he added: ‘India is a strategic market for us and we put a lot of energy to prepare for Labelexpo India every two years and will continue to support the show in the time to come. We expect good footfall of label printers on the next two days with some serious enquiries coming our way.’

Manish Kapoor, country manager for sales at Nilpeter, said: ‘Nilpeter India has had a fantastic year and we are positive about the success of the show.’
