Koppara Enterprises, a Kollam-based printer, recently installed a Diploma 4z3x automatic folder, Pickwel 12-station automatic gatherer, a WB 2000 Perfectbinder and E-15 three knife trimmer, the complete family of binding machines from Welbound.

In fact, Koppara Enterprises, was the first printer from Kerala to invest in a brand new Heidelberg GTO, which was then followed up with an investment in a Suprasetter thermal CTP.

They were also the first printers in the state to invest in a new thread sewing machine from Mecanotechnica Srl of Italy.

Credit for this goes to Rajeev Ramakrishnan, the young managing director of Koppara Enterprises, who has been making the right investments to establish a state-of-the-art offset printing unit.

This successful business consultant, based in Dubai, developed a typewriting institute started by his late father into a complete print unit, offering digital, screen and offset print services.

Meanwhile, Silverpoint’s TP binding centre at Navi Mumbai saw a 32-page Diploma getting installed in August. This will be put to use by the award-winning printer for brochures, magazines and coffee table books.

Padma Quality Screen Printers, based in Thane, which specialises in printing religious books, realised that pre-owned folding machines may not be able to deliver the consistency and accuracy in folding.

Therefore, the decision to invest in Diploma. Diploma is represented by Welbound.
