The webinar will be hosted on10 March (Tuesday) from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
As per PrintWeek's Pallavi Mandal, “The webinar’s concept centres on the decisive transition towards larger formats and a greater adoption of automation technology as the key to unlocking maximum profitability."
Mandal added, “Today, the investment must shift away from merely acquiring new machinery and be redirected towards smart technology that delivers higher output with reduced waste and labour. This strategic shift is vital for Indian printers and packaging solution providers to seek a global competitive edge."
The session will feature an expert panel from Manroland Sheetfed, bringing together local market knowledge and global technological vision. These are Peter Rego, the director of sales at Manroland Sheetfed India; Deepak Walia, the managing director, at Manroland Sheetfed India. Additionally, Stefan Stillger, the head of sales, at Manroland Sheetfed GmbH and Robin Pradel, the head of service at Manroland Sheetfed GmbH, will be present. The webinar will be hosted by packaging technologist Abhay Avadhani, the assistant editor at WhatPackaging magazine.
Drawing on their collective experience, the speakers will provide a roadmap for printers to become “inelastic” in their pricing by offering greater value through improved efficiency.
Key discussion points include smart operations, minimising hidden costs like waste and unproductive machine time, leveraging data for customer classification, and implementing automation tools to reduce job changeover times dramatically. The consensus was clear: in today's market, printers who fail to invest in technology and automate processes will struggle to maintain healthy profit margins.
