A one-stop packaging offset printing company, Adinath Offset is based in Surendranagar, a tranquil historical city situated around 120 km from Ahmedabad in Gujarat. Since its inception two decades ago, this ISO 9001:2015 company has constantly been upgrading its machine portfolio, adding advanced presses and post-press machines every now and then. The latest upgrade happened to be the installation of a brand new Komori Lithrone GL437 from Komori India.
“It has been just a matter of two weeks since we completed the full installation of the Lithrone GL437 and started running it in full swing in one of our production units,” says Vrushit Ajaykumar Sheth of Adinath Offset. He further states that the brand new Komori machine is ideally one of the most excellent offset presses they have ever owned till date, with which they now start unlocking a new level of quality and consistency in graphic prints.
Founded by Ajay Hasmukhlal Sheth in 2002, joined by his son Vrushit in the business in 2009, Adinath Offset boasts a broad client base predominantly comprising some big pharmaceutical brands and companies. “Around 80% of our works are for clients in the pharmaceutical sector and the rest is for those from the domains of personal care products, undergarments, and retail brands,” mentions Vrushit.
Reflecting on Adinath Offset’s journey from day one and their progressive growth through continuous upgrades to their machine portfolio, Vrushit recounts, “It all started with a single-colour press; then in 2009, we bought a 2-colour press; followed by a four-colour press in 2012.” He adds, “It was in the year 2015 we took a big turn when we began our first association with Komori – we installed a 6-colour machine, a pre-owned model which we sold in 2018 and bought 6 colour + coater Heidelberg SM 74.”
Vrushit continues, “We never remain inactive in expanding our machine portfolio, either the presses or post-press equipment. In 2023, we installed two Maxima automatic die-punching machines to replace the old models. Likewise, we installed three Boxtech folder gluers, lamination machines and UV Drip off machine. As part of the expansion, we have done a landmark installation of the brand-new Komori Lithrone GL437 this year.”
Backed by a team of 60 skilled employees, Adinath Offset has two production units where the Lithrone GL437 is running efficiently in the first one, while the second one is designated for corrugation packaging tasks, including fluid lamination. Robustly designed and engineered to operate at maximum speeds up to 15,000 sph, the brand new Komori press prints a maximum sheet size of 640 x 940 mm with thicknesses ranging from 0.04 mm to 0.6 mm to produce A1-size graphics and end-products.
“Prior to our final decision on the Lithrone GL437, we had seen some other brands as well, which turned out to be unviable in many aspects when compared to Komori. In addition to the advancement of the brand new Lithrone GL437, we are content with the way Komori India’s team, and especially thanks to Kalpesh Parekh, who insisted on buying this brand-new Komori machine, also provides us with the absolute after-sales cooperation. We are now moving forward to tap the newer trends and opportunities in the market with persistent adoption of new machines and technologies,” concludes Vrushit
