What Polygraph does

Polygraph Limited is an Indian privately held manufacturer of industrial flexographic and rotogravure printing machinery, headquartered in Mumbai (Andheri East) with manufacturing operations in Vasai, Maharashtra. Founded in 1980 by Late Shri Tulsidas Biliye and currently led by Mr. Amit Biliye, the company designs and builds presses for flexible packaging converters, industrial packaging manufacturers, and woven sack producers across 20+ countries.

The product portfolio spans the Ecoflex series of flexographic presses (variants B, E, S, ELS, Hybrid, WS, plus a Gear Driven series), the ORION series of rotogravure presses (1000, 2000, 2000 S, 3000 ELS), the ACE series of flexographic printing and slitting machines (250, 350, 450 Plus), and the LAMIPLUS series of lamination machines (Standard, SL solventless, and COMBI). Underlying technology includes independent servo motors per printing unit, Electronic Line Shaft (ELS) architectures replacing traditional gear trains, hybrid gear/servo drives, and multi-zone drying systems engineered for high-speed production up to 350 m/min. Specialty lines cover woven sack (PP/HDPE) printing, inline multi-process presses, and register coating. The company also supplies extruded films as a raw material.

Polygraph operates a direct enterprise sales model with quote-based pricing, supplemented by a comprehensive lifecycle services layer covering commissioning, operator training, preventive maintenance, spares, retrofits, process optimization, relocation, and consulting. Revenue is generated through capital equipment sales and an installed-base services annuity. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors, and ownership is concentrated with the founding Biliye family.
