Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (PCS) and Parksons Packaging are marking 25 years of partnership, which began in 2001 when Parksons Packaging became the first company in the region, according to the company, to invest in a Kongsberg PCS digital cutting table. The company’s early adoption helped demonstrate the value of digital cutting technology to the wider Indian packaging industry.
Founded in 1996, Parksons Packaging specializes in folding cartons, specialized board packaging for liquid packs and customized rigid boxes. It serves markets including FMCG, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and healthcare. According to the company, it has grown into a major folding carton packaging provider, with a focus on innovation, sustainability and advanced printing technologies.
The company said the early adoption of the technology helped accelerate packaging development and sample production, gave its teams greater production efficiencies and supported its continued growth. Since then, Parksons Packaging has invested in seven further tables across eight locations.
Over the 25 years, the relationship has evolved from a traditional supplier and customer arrangement into a partnership. According to the companies, Kongsberg PCS’s digital cutting technology, supported by its service and technical expertise, has helped Parksons Packaging improve productivity, respond to changing customer requirements, diversify its offering and bring packaging concepts to market faster.
Ramesh Kejriwal, chairman of Parksons Packaging, said, “We are incredibly proud to celebrate 25 years of partnership with Kongsberg PCS. Our vision in 2001 was clear: to build India’s finest folding carton printing and packaging company, supported by world-class technology and infrastructure. Since bringing the first Kongsberg sample-making table to India, we have worked together to help raise the standards of packaging development across the market and cater to the different needs of brand owners. Kongsberg PCS’s innovation and reliability have played an important role in our growth, and we greatly value the partnership, trust and friendship built over the years. I look forward to continuing this successful journey together.”
Celebrating innovation and a long-standing partnership
Kongsberg PCS representatives recently presented Parksons Packaging with a commemorative souvenir recognizing the anniversary and the achievements of both companies.
David Preskett, vice president EMEA & APAC at Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems, said, “Parksons Packaging recognized the potential of digital cutting technology at a time when it was still relatively unknown in the Indian market. Over 25 years, our relationship has developed through a shared focus on innovation and excellence. Our technology is only one part of this story. The service, technical expertise and close collaboration from our local team has also been central to the longevity of the partnership. We are incredibly proud to have supported Parksons Packaging’s ambitions and look forward to continuing our work together.”
