Barcom Industries installs two Mark Andy Pro label presses

Mumbai-based Barcom Industries has added two new Mark Andy Pro Series label presses to its portfolio. The company had confirmed the deal at Labelexpo India 2024. The machine was supplied and installed by Flexo Image Graphics (FIG), Mark Andy's distributor in India.  

Prasanna Sahu, managing director, Barcom Industries, said: 'Additions of the two new Mark Andy Pro Series label presses to our existing machine portfolio are set to improve print quality and productivity tremendously.' He continued: 'Our partnership with FIG dates back to the beginning of our business in 2002. In a way, we kick-started our journey with a Mark Andy press from FIG. Their committed post-sales service support is something that we have always appreciated.'

FIG, which currently represents a handful of major international brands of flexo presses and associated equipment in the Indian subcontinent, started business as a Mark Andy distributor, and Barcom was among the early customers. Gourav Roy, director, FIG, shared that Barcom has made notable investments in multiple Mark Andy presses from FIG.

Sahu recollected: 'It was a Mark Andy 830 that marked Barcom’s first tryst with the brand ‘Mark Andy’, followed by a string of Mark Andy 2200 and Performance Series P5 presses, one after another. When it comes to its ever-expanding client base, Barcom has been working for a league of reputed brands across the key sectors like FMCG, beverage, pharmaceutical, vehicular maintenance, etc. 

'Beyond the domestic market, we have expanded our client base into the international market too,' mentioned Sahu, adding, 'We always endeavor to maintain quality printing and productivity for meeting our clients’ ever-increasing demands for premium print outputs in quick turnaround times. For this, we persistently upgrade our machine portfolio, which has now added the two new Mark Andy Pro Series label presses.'

Sahu further stated that the two new Mark Andy Pro Series label presses have built up new confidence and capability for them to liven up ‘labels’ to another level. In addition to the family of Mark Andy presses, Barcom’s production facility is equipped with other machines from FIG, which include Rotoflex inspection slitter rewinders, Rotoflex HSI label inspection system with 100 percent Nikka L1 inspection cameras, and Rotoflex bi-directional pharma inspection machine.

FIG keeps expanding its installation base of Mark Andy presses across the subcontinent, with longstanding clients like Barcom constantly investing in multiple units. In addition to Mark Andy, other prominent brands in the current product line of FIG include Rhyguan, Luster, Rotoflex, Presstek, Maxcess, KDS, Eson Flexible Dies, DYM Machinery, and XSYS.
