Gourav Rai, managing director, FIG, said "Barcom Industries and Astron Packaging are seeking new servo machines with advanced capabilities, to add to their existing range. After looking at traditional offerings, we presented them the latest servo technology in the Performance Series line. And both were taken by the P5’s productivity platform."

Barcom Industries is a key producer of pressure-sensitive labels, stickers and tags. It purchased the first P5 to be installed in the country. The converter has invested in an eight-colour, 13 inch (330 mm) wide machine, complete with a rail system, web turnbar and cold foil unit.

Meanwhile Astron, a supplier of corrugated boxes and self-adhesive labels, opted for the 10 inch (250 mm), eight-colour press. This press is outfitted with options including chilled impression rolls, a rail system to house a web turnbar, cold foil unit and a rotary screen head.
