Vijayshri Packaging transforms its production with Komori and DGM installations

Vijayshri Packaging installed and commissioned a new Komori GL 637 plus coater offset press, two LK-800 die cutters of 23.5X31.5-inch size from Zhongke, and a DGM Technofold 1100 folder gluer. In addition, Vijayshri has commissioned a 500 Kva solar power unit to boost its captive power production. The latest investment phase comes almost a year after the earlier one in FY 2021-2022, in which the company installed a Komori GL 640 UV press, a Brausse die cutter, a Wenhong die cutter, a corrugation line including a Wenhong 3-ply high-speed flute laminator with flip flop unit, a Lamify 5-ply flute laminator and the H&S Speedliner window patching machine.

Vijayshri Packaging is a fully integrated packaging company providing paperboard packaging solutions to a very demanding market. They specialize in offering complete solutions which include folding cartons and their corrugated outers. In addition, the folding cartons include many upgrades such as windows, liners, and litho-laminations. Their attention to quality has allowed them to successfully partner with customers in food processing, fast-moving consumer goods production, pharmaceuticals manufacturing, and white goods industries.

Strategically positioned in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, in central India, Vijayshri has built a world-class package printing factory with comprehensive integrated printing solutions. In 2021, Vijayshri achieved the milestone of 30 years in the industry. Today the company is one of the leaders in the Indian package printing industry, setting the benchmark for consistency in the market. Flawless work has been a significant part of its journey.

“The aim of the two recent investment phases close together was to ensure that we provide the best quality with predictable lead times to our customers. Also, we phased out some older machines and replaced them with new ones,” says Ayush Jain, director of Vijayshri Packaging.

“We have unfailingly invested in automation and modernization of our printing equipment. When we bought our first thermal CTP in 2005, we learned the meaning of consistency, reliability, and quality. Over the years we have improved our standards and always invested in reliable technology. The key to our growth is our ability to choose the right equipment at the right time,” says Jain.

New 500 Kva solar power unit strengthens sustainable production

In its latest expansion phase, along with the new print and converting equipment, Vijayshri commissioned a 500 Kva solar power unit at its plant to become more self-sustaining in energy. “We had two objectives in mind when we planned the solar power unit. The first was to increase our captive power production capacity so that we become increasingly independent of the grid and secondly, to become more sustainable in our operations. With the new solar power unit, we now produce half of the power required in-house. We have not only increased our power independence, but we have also reduced the load on the grid,” says Jain.
