Multiple OMET Presses to Fuel ZIRCON’s Galloping Growth!

Orders Omet Varyflex and Omet Xflex X6

While economies around the world suffer and industries therein grope to find their balance, Indian industry, more so the label and print packaging industry, continues to register a steady double digit growth. The Indian packaging industry estimated at 19 Billion US Dollars, is growing at a rate of over 15%. Growth in the label industry is no different. Due to these positive trends large and successful international companies in these fields are looking at investing in India by way of mergers and acquisitions. While some of the Indian entrepreneurs seem to have seen reason in parting with their equity to these international giants yet there are others who are waiting for suitable partners or value offers. In such a scenario Sanjeev Sondhi lead Zircon Technologies India Ltd.  has aspirations to become an Indian owned mega success story.

The company has surprised many observers in the industry by its unprecedented growth and rapid expansion on an ongoing basis. Zircon is headquartered in NOIDA with factories and sales offices at multiple locations. The initial Dehradun unit was set up to produce labels on flexo rotary presses. They are now expanding into paper board based packaging and flexible packaging. Sanjeev Sondhi has excelled in quality and innovation. He has filed many patents for his developments in security printing.

In a recent move to further its innovative endeavors, Zircon has placed order for two state of art Omet presses. An Omet Varyflex followed by an Omet Xflex X6. The Varyflex ordered by them is one of the most advanced presses with combination of different printing processes on multiple substrates. It is by far the most complex label projects envisaged in recent times. Zircon will be converting labels, folding cartons and flexible packaging on these equipments. A beaming Sanjeev says, “More will follow”!

Omet S.r.l., Italy founded by the late Angelo Bartesaghi in 1963, is a leading company designing and producing high-technology equipment and lines to print and fold tissue paper products, self adhesive labels, folding cartons and flexible packaging. Marked by a strong international mission, Omet draws heavily on its rich heritage.
