After CMYK (Jalgaon); Vyoma Graphics (Pune) in 2010 and PrintExpressions (Delhi) in 2011; it’s the turn of Pune-based Prabhat Printing Works (PPW) to bag the Small Printer of the Year in 2012.

Founded in 1944 by late Kanakmal Lalchand Munot, a social reformist and freedom fighter, PPW has a simple Gandhian philosophy of ‘simple living and high thinking’. Today, the press is located in a 15,000 sq/ft area that is equipped with the latest equipment. Interestingly enough most of the equipment in the press has been inaugurated by Anna Hazare who is close to the Munot family.

Alok Munot, the third generation at PPW says, “Growth is good. We are probably one of the rare print companies in Pune to demand the right price and our clients know about the quality, service and satisfaction that we provide.”

A look at the balance sheet indicates the firm has witnessed an increase in turnover of around 35.36%, which has helped the company to shift from a loss to profit this year, with an increase of 54.03% even after a hike in expenditure for staff of 25.3% as compared to last year. The ratio for current year is 2.4:1.

It has the highest increase in net profit ratio in this category; narrowly pipping last year’s winner PrintExpression in terms of return on capital.
