Founded in 2018, Acme Rolltech Pvt. Ltd. is India’s first indigenous anilox roll manufacturing company. ACME Rolltech is the first Indian company to manufacture new ceramic rolls & sleeves, refurbish old rolls, and offer cleaning solutions & roll auditing services. The company also provides ink and metering solutions to label converters. The refurbishment program of Acme Rolltech is the initiative to promote sustainability in the Flexographic industry.
Talking about their indigenous anilox roll, Sandeep Sharma said, “We manufacture anilox roll for almost all the industries which use flexographic printing technology like Narrow Web, Wide-Web and CI Flexo. We also cater to varied industries applications like Offset coating, Film Coating Lines, Lamination Coating Lines & Extrusion lamination machine rolls. We are the first Indian manufacturer that manufactures ceramic rolls in India. We can do rolls up to 4.5 meters in length and up to 600mm in diameter. Recently, we have added new engraving machines from the UK. Since our inception, we have sold more than 8000 rolls globally in three and half years. Our strong base of more than 4000 customer partners spread across 25 countries. The manufacturing plant is located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. We are taking India to the global map and expanding our footprints with each passing day.”
The advantages of our ceramic rolls & sleeves are precision ink transfer, durability, and excellent print results. In all the coating applications, consistent transfer & durability is a critical factor, so we are replacing the chrome roller with the ceramic roller.
Speaking about the competition, Sharma added, “before we entered the Indian market, Ceramix Anilox rolls & sleeves were being imported from countries like America, Europe, and China. When we started production in India, the main challenge was the service. Earlier, when the customer used to order for a particular anilox and gave LPI and BCM details, the rolls were delivered in 45 days to 60 days by the foreign suppliers. We took this as a challenging opportunity and committed to providing the customer anilox rolls in just 20 to 25 days.
Our USP is the service lead time & the technical prowess. Whenever we receive a particular order, we talk with the customer about their requirements and the process in which the rollers will be used, and based on discussion, we evaluate and suggest a proper roll to the customer. Because eventually, the customer should get the desired result. We have developed several new products based on the customer’s discussion.”
Innovative Flexotech Systems is one of the consistent clients for ACME. Talking about their anilox roll partner, Alpesh Thakar, Managing Director at Innovative Flexotech, said, “For a very long period, we were searching for a genuine Indian partner for rollers. Before partnering with ACME, we used to purchase anilox rolls from foreign multinational companies. It is an excellent opportunity for Indian machine manufacturers like us where they can promote make-in-India products. Remarkably, AMCE delivers a similar quality of rollers as the European manufacturer, with better service support.”
“Prompt service today is essential in any business. We have worked with all the major brands. We are pleased to partner with ACME and look forward to an extended partnership. We also recommend other OEM’s to purchase rolls from AMCE. We wanted a service-oriented company that could provide better quality, price competitive, and technologically advanced anilox rolls, and Acme Rolltech marks the right ticks on all our requirements.”
“It is a challenging time for everyone. Trusted partner is most important to us. Service is a priority for everyone.” concludes Alpesh.
