The deal saw Dirba Arts acquire the HM-DP4030P fully automatic rigid box machine. Under the leadership of managing director Swati Shedge, Dirba Arts made the strategic investment to bolster its top and bottom rigid box manufacturing capabilities. By integrating this technology, the company aims to address the rising demand for rigid box packaging while simultaneously tackling operational hurdles such as rising labour costs and the need for space optimisation.

Adding to the momentum, existing client Amate Products has furthered its partnership with NBG through the purchase of a ZD-F350QB fully automatic paper bag-making machine. Rahul Agarwal, executive director at Amate Products, noted that the machine is designed specifically for producing shopping bags with twisted or flat handles. The deal reflects a continued trust in NBG’s technology as Amate Products expands its capacity to serve the retail market.

At Pamex, NBG operated across two dedicated stalls with four machines running live demonstrations. A major draw for visitors was the unveiling of a new narrow-web flexo experience centre, designed to provide a hands-on look at modern flexographic printing and workflow integration.

The event also served as the official launchpad for the HM-600D glueing and spotter machine from Hongming. This addition to the NBG portfolio positions the company as a key facilitator for printers looking to modernise through automation. As Pamex 2026 continues, the sales to Dirba Arts and Amate Products highlight an appetite for technological advancement within the Indian print and packaging industry.
