The order consists of three six-tower Colormans and a four-tower Regioman. Each Colorman (pictured) will be configured with six reel stands and two double folders. One tower in each press will also be heatset enabled, built so that dryers can be retrofitted at a later date.
The highly automated Colormans will all have variable web-widths of 55 and 62 inches, and will also be configured to allow two extra towers to be added at a later date.
The group has 15 production sites across India, and currently runs 45 MAN Roland towers. Once the staggered installation, which will begin in Q1 2007, is complete, it will boast 71 towers, making it MAN Roland's largest installation in the country.
