Acme Rolltech

What Acme Rolltech does

Acme Rolltech Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2018 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is India's first indigenous manufacturer of ceramic anilox rolls and sleeves for the flexographic printing industry. The company uses laser engraving technology to produce rolls with diameters from 60mm to 600mm and lengths up to 4,500mm from an 88,000 sq ft manufacturing facility (10,000 sq ft shop floor). Its product portfolio is organized into four families: conventional engraving patterns (AH60 Hexagon, AH80 Elongated Hexagon, AT45 Tri-Helical, AD45 Diamond), the proprietary Acme Super Cell (ASC) flat-bottom design, the Advanced Channel Engraving (ACE) series (Hex, EL, Xcell, Xtrm), and specialized products covering high-density white (AHDW/AHDW2.0), tactile (ATAC/ATAC2.0), glitter (AGLIT), high-density colour (AHDC), and texture gloss/matt (ATXR-G/ATXR-M) applications.

The business model combines custom-quoted hardware sales with a recurring aftermarket service stack comprising roll refurbishment/re-engraving, professional roll auditing and inspection, and branded cleaning consumables (Acme Clean Paste and Brush). Acme sells direct to enterprise printers, converters, and press manufacturers across label printing, flexible packaging, offset coating, corrugation, CI flexo, and PVDC/specialty coating segments. Go-to-market is sales-led and heavily event-driven, with consistent presence at Labelexpo Europe, Labelexpo Mexico, Labelexpo Southeast Asia, Gulf Print & Pack, Flexo Summit Asia, and other major flexo industry shows. The company serves 1,200+ customers across India and nine-plus export markets (Israel, Greece, Poland, Turkey, UAE, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Australia, Mexico), positioning itself as a domestic Indian alternative to European and US suppliers on price, lead time, and customization.

The company is privately held and appears bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding or parent entity. It is led by three founders — Parag Patel, Sandeep Sharma, and Parag Koradia — supported by a senior management layer and a general manager overseeing manufacturing. Revenue, valuation, and capitalization details are not publicly disclosed, and the company's permanent employee count is reported in the 1-10 range, suggesting a capital-lean operating model with likely outsourced or contract manufacturing support.
