state, unorganized and non-existent.

• Onslaught of imported machinery was un-checked and un-

mitigated, seriously impacting growth of Indian

manufacturing industry.

• So there was an instinctive urge for expression and

identification.

an Association of manufacturers of Printing Machines, Pre /

Post Printing equipments, allied equipment, inks and

consumable materials
