Post GST, the urge to reduce manpower has become evident. To beat the heat of having less manpower, companies are increasingly turning towards automation. During the recently held IndiaCorr Expo show, Robus India tried to cater to the industry’s need for better automation. The company launched a range of new products such as online braille, collecting table, online and offline 100% printing check, high-speed automatic sheet lamination with flying knife, fully automatic and automatic carton stapler with design options. Robus India has been a relatively young player in this segment. The initial days for the company were quite worrisome as they sold their first machine after 8 months of venturing into the market at a huge loss. After a turbulent first year, the company began gaining momentum and by the end of the second year, it had sold 30 machines. At the IndiaCorr Expo 2017, Robus India sold five machines, a massive turnaround of fortunes for a new entrant in a hugely competitive space. The company believes in providing adequate training facilities to its customers post sale and they claim to have garnered much praise for this. Over the past six months, they have provided around 5-6 rigorous training and are expecting to deliver more. “Looking at our sales figures over the past few months, the packaging industry in India seems to be poised for rapid growth and expansion. We never expected orders to turn up the way they did. We are extremely happy and are quite expectant of growth in the market to utilize it for the company’s benefit,” a company spokesperson said. Providing consulting services and noteworthy post-sale services are the primary targets of Robus India. The company strongly believes in cutting on overspends. Talking about their competitors, the spokesperson said, “If you compare us with our competitors, it would be evident that our competitors have have a good customer base but it cannot be denied that we sell more units to limited customers.” Read Full Article:-Robus India at IndiaCorr Expo 2017

Universal Print-O-Pack based in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, operates both as a packaging converter and commercial printer. The two-decade-old company recently installed three new postpress machines from Robus India—a HongJing JC1100 PC Advance Folder Gluer, a Dayuan Semi-Automatic Die Punching Machine MHC1100 BL and an HRB Automatic Flute Laminator. The company has also purchased a B0 Size (40” x 56”) 7-color KBA printing machine with coater. Packaging South Asia spoke to Sunil Gupta, partner at Universal Print-O-Pack, to know more about the new installations as well as how the company sees the opportunities in the near future. Universal Print-O-Pack has traditionally shown a preference for German and Japanese equipment but this time around, it opted for three economical Chinese postpress machines. According to Gupta, “We wanted to look beyond conventional solution providers who could take the challenge to provide customized or tailor-made solutions for our varied needs—something that Robus India managed to fulfill. Such customized converting solutions also need to be economical as in the present scenario it is not advisable to invest big for small solutions. Hence, Robus India worked with us and provided appropriate solutions involving their principals (Chinese OEMs) in the process. For a debt-free company like ours, it was only practical to upgrade the technology without investing a fortune.” Gupta however clarifies that it was not only the affordability of the equipment that influenced his decision but also Robus India’s strong commitment to after-sales support. “A well laid out written agreement with Robus India and their principals ensured that we would get seamless and consistent after-sales support. What we love about Robus India is their sincere and honest approach towards their work,” says Gupta. Read Full Article:- Universal Print-O-Pack installs converting equipment from Robus
