Deglurkar (l) and Menon (r): The journey to 1,000 folder-gluer is a handy yardstick to measure Bobst’s success and progress in India
For Bobst, 2020 also happened to be its 25th year of inception in India. Having started with a small sales and service office way back in 1995 in Pune, it later established a small workshop to refurbish Bobst die-cutting machines in 1999 at Pirangut, Pune. With the Indian market taking shape for the better future and a vision to become a leading supplier of equipment and services for the packaging industry locally in India, Bobst inaugurated its manufacturing plant at Pirangut, Pune in 2003.
