Active® Innovations’ technological revolution in textile printing

Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd, a pioneer in the textile printing industry, began as a service-based venture founded by Mr. Prashant Jiani’s father. With humble beginnings in servicing printing and exposing machines, the company has evolved into a full-fledged manufacturer of world-class machinery. Today, the company stands out for its in-house production, technological innovations, and a robust product range that caters to both domestic and international markets.

A Legacy of Innovation: Company Origins and Evolution

Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd earlier known as Active Inkjet Solutions started its journey in the service sector, where the initial focus was on operating and maintaining machines sourced from established manufacturers. With about five years of experience in servicing fabric printing machinery—ranging from sarees to bed sheets—the company quickly understood the intricacies of the printing process. This hands-on experience laid the groundwork for innovation and led to the development of its first in-house inkjet machine. Although this early machine delivered satisfactory results, its resolution was limited by the inkjet technology. Recognizing the need for higher accuracy, the company evolved by incorporating advanced laser technology—a decision that would eventually redefine its manufacturing capabilities.

Pioneering In-House Manufacturing and Technological Advancements

Mr. Prashant Jiani, who enhanced his technical and business acumen with an MBA from Pune, played a crucial role in steering the company towards self-reliance. Instead of relying on imported components, Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd now manufactures every part of its machines in-house—from raw materials to the finished product. This strategy not only ensures consistent quality but also offers customers reliable local service, with support teams strategically located across India.

The transition from inkjet to laser technology marked a significant turning point. After a rigorous year-long R&D process that involved disassembling and re-engineering the machine components, the company introduced advanced laser stripping technology. This innovation not only enhanced printing accuracy but also dramatically reduced operating costs. Building on this success, Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd is now set to launch a water jet stripping machine that promises even greater cost efficiency and sustainability.

Comprehensive Product Range for the Textile Printing Industry

Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd has developed an extensive suite of machines that cover every stage of the screen-printing process. Their product portfolio includes:

  • Screen Unpackers and Dryers: Machines that safely remove and restore screens to their original form.
  • Coating and Floating Machines: Essential for preparing screens with emulsion for high-quality designs.
  • Engraving Machines: Offering a variety of technologies, including inkjet, UV laser, and CO2 laser engravers, these machines ensure unparalleled precision in screen engraving.
  • Polymerizing and Fixing Machines: Designed to enhance the durability and accuracy of prints.
  • Stripping Machines: Innovative laser stripping machines that not only reduce costs but also require less maintenance compared to traditional alternatives.

Whether for rotary or flatbed printing, the company provides a complete one-stop solution. Clients benefit from the convenience of sourcing all machinery from a single supplier, eliminating the need for multiple vendors.

Unmatched Quality, Local Service, and Cost Efficiency

Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd distinguishes itself through a combination of quality, service, and affordability. By manufacturing locally, the company offers significant cost advantages—lowering the per-screen printing cost substantially compared to imported machines. Clients also enjoy prompt local service, bypassing the long wait times typically associated with foreign manufacturers. The company’s commitment to continuous improvement is evident in every machine; feedback from industry leaders has led to iterative upgrades that enhance both performance and reliability.

Inspired by global players like SPG, Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd has not only matched but often surpassed international standards. This strategic blend of innovation and customer-centric service positions the company as a strong competitor in the domestic market, with a clear vision for global expansion.

Future Outlook: From Local Markets to Global Expansion

Looking ahead, Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd aims to capture a larger share of the Indian market by replacing established competitors with its superior technology and local support. With successful exports already underway in Tanzania and Nepal—and an upcoming exhibition in Bangladesh—the company is poised for international growth. Their “Make in India, Make for the World” ethos underscores their commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. The upcoming launch of water jet stripping technology, which promises reduced energy consumption and higher output, is a testament to their forward-thinking approach.

Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd exemplifies how a company can transform from a service provider to an industry leader through relentless innovation, local manufacturing, and a deep understanding of customer needs. With a comprehensive range of high-quality machines and an unwavering commitment to cost efficiency and sustainability, the company is set to redefine textile printing both in India and on the global stage. As they continue to refine their technology and expand their market presence, Active® Innovations Pvt Ltd is not just keeping pace with industry trends—they are setting them.
