Brandtjen & Kluge sets sights on Indian post-press market

US finishing equipment manufacturer Brandtjen & Kluge says it is targeting the Indian market with its foil-stamping, embossing and die-cutting presses.

According to the company, it has sold nine machines in the country so far, with the WFE Series, the EHD Series, and the Unifold machines being the most popular.

Flexo Image Graphics is the exclusive sales and service partner for Brandtjen & Kluge in India, and it says it is targeting sales of five to six machines each year.

"Currently we're aggressively promoting V8 and V10 presses to the Indian printers," Gourav Roy, managing director at Flexo Image Graphics, said.

"Post Drupa, there has been one installation. Talks are on for more," he added.

The Brandtjen & Kluge line of equipment includes plate and vertical-style foil-stamping embossing and die-cutting presses, multi-function and high-speed straight-line folding and gluing equipment, cutting systems, and the TXR-800 & TXR-1100 Series automatic blank separator.
