Showtime — Is there a need for exaggeration?

According to Roger Pellow in his presentations at the recent road shows in Chennai, Mumbai and Ludhiana, Indian label printers are buying 140 to147 new presses this financial year (April 1, 2010-March 31, 2011). Industry experts and insiders, including some who are successfully battling each day to sell machines, pointed out to the Tarsus organisers that these numbers are neither correct nor realistic. Some of them even pointed to the IppStar update published in the July-August 2010 issue of this magazine titled ‘Label press installations in India.’

We think that IppStar's more modest figures of almost a hundred new label presses, including a 50% growth in high-end presses to 40 machines, is both credible and creditable. There is no need for exaggeration. Readers wishing to read the entire article can refer to http://www.packagingsouthasia.com/news/Label_press_installations_1377.html
