en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shivam Offset, a printing company based in Kolhapur, India, has added a new Komori Lithrone G37 six-color sheetfed offset press at one of its production facilities in Kolhapur, further expanding its equipment lineup across four plants in Kolhapur, Pune, and Belgaum.

Founded in the late 1980s as a billbook and business card printer, Shivam Offset has grown into a book printing and packaging processing enterprise, operating four production bases with approximately 300 employees. These plants run a total of 17 web presses, 8 offset presses, and a range of post-press equipment from manufacturers such as Heidelberg, Bindwel, and Muller Martini.

The Lithrone G37 has a maximum running speed of 15,000 sheets per hour and is equipped with an offline KHS-AI control system, designed for quick startup, high-speed operation, and automated printing stability. It can handle substrates with thicknesses from 0.04 mm to 0.6 mm, with an optional capability extending to 0.8 mm, and its 37-inch format is suitable for A1-size output. Shivam Offset founder Sanjay Mahadev Thorwat stated that the 37-inch format of this press is ideal for producing A1-size printed output, suitable not only for books but also for commercial graphic printing.

Thorwat noted that the new machine was chosen for its ability to handle short lead times, variable job sizes, and diverse printing demands in book publishing and commercial printing work. The new equipment has been installed at a plant in Kolhapur and is well-suited for managing multiple printing jobs.

Shivam Offset serves clients across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, and Bihar, while also undertaking some overseas book printing business. The company is now jointly managed by Thorwat, his brother Vijay Thorwat, and his sons Shivam Sanjay Thorwat and Kamlesh Thorawat. Thorwat said the company has been continuously upgrading its equipment portfolio, including the addition of the Komori Lithrone G37, and strengthening its team by bringing in the younger generation.
