Kapoor Imaging signs license agreement with RBP Chemical Technology

Chennai-based Kapoor Imaging is a supplier to the Indian graphic arts industry, specializing in pre-press equipment, workflow software, specialty software, registration systems and consumables for the printing industry.

Having been present in India for more than six years, RBP Chemical Technology recognized the need to partner with a local supplier to support its efforts in growing its business in the region, as well as globally.

In partnering with Kapoor Imaging, RBP Chemical Technology will benefit by further penetrating the South Asia region. Kapoor Imaging customers will now have a locally-available supply of western-developed pressroom chemistry, including silicones, fountain concentrates and press washes.  

‘This agreement is filling a market need by providing Indian newspaper and commercial sheet fed printers a line of superior press room chemistry supply options through a well-known, reputable and local supplier,’ said Mark Kannenberg, president of RBP Chemical Technology. ‘By combining Kapoor's established sales force and RBP Chemical Technologys experienced chemists and vast pressroom knowledge, we expect to see significant growth in this market.’

Sunil Kapoor, managing director of Kapoor Imaging, expects customers will be receptive to the addition of RBP Chemical Technology's chemistry to its existing plate and blanket business. He attributes this to the fact that the South Asia market values a more competitive environment through a greater variety of options and improved technology. ‘RBP Chemical Technology has a strong track record for improving efficiencies in the pressroom resulting in cost savings to the customer,’ said Kapoor.

‘Our customers will welcome expertise and guidance that gives them an edge.’
