Manroland Sheetfed rings bell of confidence for printers
Neeraj Dargan, managing director, Manroland Sheetfed, is a busy man these days and rightly so. As his company re-invents itself, Dargan has his work cut-out for him, to reinstate the past glory of the Manroland brand.

Manroland Sheetfed rings bell of confidence for printers
Recently, the sheetfed printing presses manufacturing company launched its new printing press, Roland 700 Evolution, and it’s the first brand-new launch from the company after a gap of four years.
Dargan is now trying to realign each and everything in his new job. This is his second inning with Manroland. He had left the company a few years back (during the time of the earlier company’s insolvency) to start his own trading business. Later, in 2012, the sheetfed division of Manroland was acquired by the privately owned British engineering group, Langley Holdings plc.
The Manroland Sheetfed team wants to regain and establish the lost image of Manroland. That’s the reason why he is focusing on after-sale services and wants to complete the damage-control in the next 6-8 months.
When I meet him at his Camp office in Naraina Industrial Area in Delhi, the Manroland Sheetfed team was busy, with a blueprint of his new office on the table. The new Manroland Sheetfed team has 15 people so far, including him.
The new chief of the German sheetfed offset printing presses manufacturer shares his future plans. “First, we would like to regain the confidence of our customers, and by the end of 2015, our focus will be on after-sales services and other issues, not on sale of new machines,” he says. “We realise that for a customer it took a lot of time to get even a small thing done.”
Dargan says reconstitution is not an easy thing to do. “Since the news about my new responsibility became public, I am inundated with a lot of support from the market, and am thankful to everyone. But it will not be a cakewalk,” he adds.
