Mumbai-based Edifice Technologies announced four concrete deals at the Media Expo Mumbai 2022. The company is the distributor of HP Designjet series and Canon digital production printers for the Mumbai market. Edifice also has its own in-house brand, Accucut, under which all finishing equipment is sold.

At the expo, the company sold an HP Designjet XL 3600 large format plotter printer, a Canon imagePRESS C710 color production printer, a Canon imagePRESS C165 color printer and an Accucut cutsheet feeder which is a complete solution for cutting and does half cut, full cut, creasing and perforation.

“The response at the expo has been really very good. We closed four solid deals for four different products. We have got some serious inquiries as well and expect to get more orders in the days ahead. Media Expo Mumbai is taking place after a gap of two years and there is a lot of excitement among the visitors. The print industry is bouncing back as the pandemic recedes,” says Saumitra Trivedi of Edifice Technologies.

Trivedi says that the demand for printing is mainly being driven by industries such as packaging and infrastructure. “There is a strong pick up in real estate industry which is giving a boost to CAD products. Signage industry too is seeing strong recovery and there is a robust undercurrent,” he adds.

Trivedi is optimistic about the current financial year and hopes to see a good order book. “Businesses have learned to live with Covid virus. There is some apprehension that the recent uptick in Covid cases may turn into a wave around June or July. Even if that happens I don’t see any impact on the market sentiment as Omicron is a much milder variant. We witnessed in the January Omicron wave that the fatalities were very low. I expect a very good FY2022-2023 for the print industry,” he concludes.
