A blessing in disguise "We have established our company as a progressive, reliable and innovative partner. Our aim is to focus always on enhancing the printing experience of our customers," says Managing Director Sandeep Jain.

The decision of our board to invest in a Komori press was a blessing in disguise because our investment paid off very well at the perfect time -- when we needed it most."
Komori Lithrone G40: Unsurpassed productivity A business always needs a strong foundation and reliable partners. When the Indian government announced a complete lockdown, Omega had just installed their second Komori Lithrone G40. During this critical time, Komori technology and automation proved to be a savior. The machine is equipped with state-of-the-art software technology and offers a maximum printing speed of 16,500 sph, printing on a wide range of sheet thicknesses.

reduces printing time. The Lithrone G40 ensures high print quality with unsurpassed productivity and can easily handle increasingly frequent short turnaround jobs. Komori India: Our first choice The timing couldn't have been better for Omega. After installing the press in early 2020, the world was hit hard by the coronavirus and everything was shut down. The printing business was particularly impacted as printers had to close their factories for a period. Around 10 million impressions have been printed by Omega since the installation of the Lithrone G40, which demonstrates the increased production capacity during this critical time. Komori was Omega's first choice because the company was aware of the machine's quality and after-sales service. "We always got great service. This gave us confidence because it meant a lot if we could get such aftersales service support in a small town like Haridwar," Jain adds.
