- Orient Press Limited is an India-based integrated printing and packaging company specializing in the manufacture and sale of printing, flexible packaging materials, and paperboard cartons. The company operates broadly in three segments: printing; flexible packaging, where it produces multi-layer film laminates; and paperboard cartons, including paper bag products. Its printing services cover sheet-fed offset printing, flexible packaging printing, carton printing, commercial printing, and security printing products. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, Orient Press caters primarily to domestic markets with a presence in the packaging and printing industry, supplying products to sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The company is promoted and managed by the Maheshwari family with experienced leadership focused on sustaining moderate scale operations in a competitive market.
Recent developments within the last two years include strategic operational improvements and product portfolio enhancements. The company has reported a shift towards flexible paper bag products in its paperboard packaging segment, driven by increasing domestic and export demand. It continues to face challenges with profitability at the net level but has shown improvement in operating profits, supported by cost rationalizations and promoter support through loans. Recent corporate actions include a merger of its Registrar & Share Transfer Agent functions improving administrative efficiency. Quarterly and annual board meetings regularly address financial results and strategic adjustments to optimize performance. While no major acquisitions or new business lines were explicitly reported recently, the company remains focused on strengthening its packaging and printing capabilities amid a complex market context.
Overall, Orient Press Limited operates as a specialist printer and flexible packaging producer in India, offering an integrated product range spanning commercial, security, and packaging print solutions, flexible multi-layer laminates, and paperboard cartons, with ongoing efforts to adapt its product mix and improve financial health through operational efficiencies since its establishment in 1987 with headquarters in Mumbai.
