ZIRCON TECHNOLOGIES GROWS WITH ESKO’S SOLUTIONS
Dehradun-based Zircon Technologies, is a well-established label packaging printer and converter in India. Since its inception in 2006, Zircon Technologies has grown quickly and achieved considerable technical excellence. Its state-of-the-art label printing and converting plants in Dehradun in North India and in Chennai in South India are part of its extensive pan-India plans that include carton printing and converting.
Zircon’s Director of Operations Sanjeev Sondhi says, “We have used Esko’s solutions for several years now and have greatly benefited from it. I can say that Esko has helped us to grow. We are using Esko’s automation systems, its entire prepress system, its CDI Spark 4835 and Esko’s WebCenter. The technical support that we receive is great and we feel that Esko is a part of us. Zircon Technologies would not exist today without active support from Esko.”
There is an inherent advantage in having flexo prepress and plate making in-house, feels Sondhi. “We are always striving to do the very best for our customers and it is the expertise of having quality in-house prepress and plate making setup which helps us excel. That’s how we meet the specifications laid down by our customers. We do not have to rely on external vendors which is a big relief in terms of time and energy spent. We look forward to growing along with Esko in the longterm.”
Scalability is one of the company’s strengths and it already has two plants in Dehradun with a combined area of 60,000 square feet with another new plant coming up on an adjacent plot of land. In Chennai, the company is moving to a new 15,000 square foot location. Over the last five years, Zircon has had a yearly average growth of 35% -40%.
