As soon as I heard about the acquisition, I knew this was the right path to take for our business too.”

Unique to the Indian market, FIG sells flexo, digital, finishing and now offset technologies. When speaking to the market reception of various printing methods in a single shop, Roy states “The way I see it, South Asian printing companies are looking for diversification. A label printer getting involved with packaging, a packaging printer getting involved with labels and commercial printer getting involved with labels and so on.”

FIG has served as a long time partner of Mark Andy. In business with the press manufacturer for over 18 years, FIG maintains a strongly qualified after-sales support team in multiple locations in the region. Roy provides “We are number 1 in the region with our post-sale support. This has been one of the key factors of our success and source of goodwill with our customers in India.” High caliber service will carry over to Presstek users in the country and provide maximum uptime.
