Sheth Printograph – from machine exports to turnkey projects
The first country to which Sheth ’ s machines were exported was Bangladesh – initially at a rate of a machine each week . Slowly , exports grew to Sri Lanka , China and South East Asia . China was not an open economy in the ‘ 70s and ‘ 80s and Sheth Printograph got a chance to explore the Chinese market . When the economic growth bubble of the South East Asian economies burst , the company shifted its focus to the Middle East , covering Saudi Arabia , UAE , Kuwait , Iran and Bahrain . Soon after , on observing upcoming projects in Africa and adjoining countries , Sheth Printograph decided to explore the African market as well . In Africa , the company executes turnkey projects for its clients , right from sourcing raw materials to supplying machinery , manpower , installation and training .
“ Over the years , the Chinese have managed to penetrate the market

worldwide . Initially , we were offering machines at affordable prices to a range of customers throughout the world . We had an upper hand because the only countries offering good quality machines back in those days were of European origin and their machines were costly . We got an opportunity to target a set of clients and offer machines according to their requirements at comparatively affordable rates ,” says Sheth .
“ In India , the market is evolving . A commercial printer is getting into packaging , someone operating in the packaging segment is diversifying into digital printing as well for commercial purposes or small runs . For instance , there is a customer who is in book printing and who has been a hardcore commercial offset printer but now , since the volume of books has reduced , he has ventured into digital . Just like that , metpet lamination came into the picture so there was a demand for a hot knife cutting system and we offered it . All in all , I think it is important to keep evolving with the market ,” Sheth adds . ❚
