Industry leaders need to exhibit indulgence and commitment to the growth of the packaging and label industry. It is very rare to see those who have invested in path breaking technologies and have made efforts to pioneer in un-treaded arenas, opening up and showcasing their state-of-the-art equipments so acquired, to their colleagues and competitors in the industry. Narendra Paruchuri, of Pragati Pack, Hyderabad is one of those pioneers who create history by their philanthropic gestures, which benefit the industry. The company had some time ago invested in a state-of-the-art Omet in-line folding carton press, the "Varyflex". In association with Omet's exclusive agents in India, Weldon Celloplast Limited New Delhi, this Omet "Varyflex" is now being displayed to the packaging and label industry, on the 20th of April 2012 at an event "Omet Open House". This event is being organised in partnership with Esko graphics, Dupont and Martin Automatic.
