INKMAKER RECOGNISED AT OFFICIAL OPENING OF DIC’S NEW INK MANUFACTURING FACILITY

Kasur, Pakistan, 23 October 2025. The Inkmaker team in Pakistan was honoured recently at the official inauguration of DIC Pakistan’s state-of-the-art ink manufacturing plant, a milestone project that highlights Inkmaker’s technological leadership and engineering expertise in automated ink production systems.

Throughout the two years leading to the opening, Inkmaker engineers collaborated closely with DIC’s team to design, implement, and commission a fully integrated production line. The installation comprised eight Inkmaker automated dosing units, IEC high-performance mixers, IEC grinding mills, and a comprehensive MES (Manufacturing Execution System) platform — ensuring a seamless, data-driven, and optimised workflow from raw material input to final product output.

“We are proud to have partnered with DIC on this landmark facility,” said Roberto Guerra, CEO of IM GROUP. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovation, precision, and performance — values that define every Inkmaker project worldwide.”

Reflecting on the event, Andrea Villa, Area Sales Manager at IM GROUP, added: “It was a beautiful event, and I was personally emotional when our job and efforts were publicly recognised! Receiving an award on behalf of our team was an incredibly proud moment for both of us.”

The successful completion and recognition of the DIC Pakistan ink manufacturing facility underscore the dedication, innovation, and expertise of both Inkmaker and DIC. This achievement reaffirms how advanced automation, digital integration, and collaboration are shaping the future of sustainable ink manufacturing.
