Apex International to display Anilox solutions at Plastindia

A key focus at Plastindia 2026 will be Apex’s local manufacturing and refurbishment capabilities in India, enabling faster turnaround times, responsive service support, and global quality standards tailored to the Indian and regional markets.

At the exhibition, Apex will present its complete anilox lifecycle management offering, covering everything from new anilox roll and sleeve manufacturing to cleaning, inspection, auditing, and refurbishing. These solutions are designed to help converters achieve consistent print quality, reduce ink and material waste, and improve overall operational efficiency.

While anilox remains central to Apex’s expertise, the company continues to expand its portfolio to support modern print environments. Visitors can explore anilox protection and cleaning solutions, advanced composite sleeves, and sleeve protection covers. The company claims that HD sleeves are durable, lightweight with extended lifespan, and provides excellent dimensional stability.

Apex will also highlight its sleeve protection covers, designed to safeguard anilox rolls and sleeves during handling, storage, and transport, helping prevent damage, contamination, and premature wear while ensuring consistent on-press performance.

The company has also launched a laser cleaning machine which offers a safe, chemical-free, and effective method for restoring anilox cell volume and cleanliness. This supports consistent ink transfer and longer anilox life.

Another key highlight will be the Apex Anilox Audit Program, developed to help printers get the best performance from their anilox inventory. Through audits, Apex evaluates anilox condition and performance to ensure optimal ink transfer and print consistency. Regular audits also enable early identification of potential issues, helping prevent unplanned downtime,  reduce repair costs, and extend the lifespan of anilox rollers.

Apex will also showcase its GTT engraving technology, designed to deliver precise ink transfer, reduced ink consumption, and provide print consistency. Apex engravings integrate with existing press workflows and support a wide range of plate resolutions, hybrid screening technologies, and substrates.

To demonstrate real-world results, Apex will display print samples for both wide-web and narrow-web applications. These samples highlight how printers can achieve high-definition, gravure-like print quality using a limited set of anilox rollers, while maintaining the efficiency and simplicity of flexo.

Speaking about Apex’s participation at Plastindia 2026, Mangesh Bhise, director sales for Asia Pacific and Middle East at Apex International, said, “Today’s converters are looking for partners who can support their performance goals, not just suppliers of products. At Apex, we deliver global standards in precision and sustainability, backed by local manufacturing and services that keep print operations future-ready.”

Visitors can meet the Apex team at stall C4 in hall 12, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
