Koenig & Bauer, a leading company in digital décor and packaging printing, has announced
that Match Graphics has become its first RotaJET customer in Asia. The comprehensive
sales and service contract will begin in December 2024. Match Graphics, a family-owned business and the largest supplier of printed décor paper in India, has invested in Koenig &
Bauer’s high-volume digital printing press. This investment aims to expand their application
and personalization possibilities beyond their traditional gravure business.
Located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, run by its Directors, Aman, Anand and Dhruv Agrawal,
Match Graphics leads the market in manufacturing, supplying, and exporting décor papers
for the laminate and panel industry in India. The company has established a niche through
technological advancements, exceptional quality, and an unmatched product range. The
decision to purchase the RotaJET was made in close cooperation with Koenig & Bauer’s
local representative, Indo Polygraph Machinery, India. The collaboration includes a
comprehensive service contract, providing Match Graphics with 24/7 remote technical and
service support.
This partnership exemplifies Match Graphics’ commitment to evolving and remaining a
market leader by implementing innovations that reshape industry thinking. Currently, Match
Graphics operates four brands: Natural Décor, Vogue, LINO, and ECO-MG. These brands
produce up to 2,000 metric tons of printed decorative paper per month, with products
ranging from 55gsm to 80gsm in sizes from 1250mm to 1850mm. Display centers are

industry. With this investment in Koenig & Bauer’s market leading RotaJET digital
technology, we see endless possibilities. We are moving ahead in the industry with our
superior quality of product and a revolutionary production press that is healthy for the

Christoph Müller, member of the Executive Board of Koenig & Bauer, said, “The RotaJET
technology is going to transform the business of Match Graphics, with shorter runs, highest
quality production and endless possibilities for personalisation and digital printing in addition
to the gravure business. This is a blueprint for future sales, which incorporates a
comprehensive service and technical support contract. This will ensure that, in the event of
any issues, they can be fixed immediately, especially as any parts will be on site.” |
