Sunstar Graphics India, based in the bustling city of Mumbai, has emerged as a prominent player in the country’s screen printing industry, earning the distinction of “Best Industrial Service Partner for Screen Printing Solutions“ under Sohel Lalvani’s dynamic leadership.
Founded in 2013, the company has been delivering precision industrial screen printing solutions to the automotive components sector, printed electronics, and high-specification industrial transfer applications. With a focus on automotive dials, decals, functional layers, membrane applications, and emerging printed electronics, Sunstar Graphics has established itself as a trusted partner.
As the exclusive Indian representative for ATMA automatic flatbed screen printing systems, the company offers a comprehensive precision ecosystem built around repeatability, alignment accuracy, and production stability. A dedicated team of 10 professionals drives technical support, application understanding, and long-term implementation accountability, ensuring seamless solutions for clients.
Partnering for Precision Production
Sunstar Graphics operates in industries where quality variation is unacceptable, enabling manufacturers to achieve consistent, measurable output. The company collaborates with automotive and electronics manufacturers requiring tight registration tolerances, controlled ink deposition, and repeatable cycle stability.
Sunstar Graphics’ involvement spans pre-sales application evaluation, system configuration, installation, calibration, operator training, and post-commissioning support, positioning itself as an implementation partner focused on production readiness and long-term process stability.
Sunstar Graphics’ Journey: From Legacy to Innovation
Sohel Lalvani’s father, Mr Ajit Lalvani, laid the foundation of Sunstar Graphics, bringing over four decades of experience in the Indian screen printing industry. Through Sunglo and Sericol, Mr Lalvani helped build the ecosystem, introducing Indian manufacturers to international brands and disciplined printer processes. Many manufacturers grew during this phase, and Sunstar Graphics continues this bridge-building mindset.
Sohel Lalvani has stepped in during a phase of transformation and upgrade. His focus has been on aligning the legacy with today’s global benchmarks, tighter tolerances, and precision matching international standards, ensuring that when Indian manufacturers invest in technology, they operate at the same level as any serious global player.
Precision-Driven Transformation
The industrial screen printing sector has evolved, driven by precision requirements. Automotive OEM supply chains demand stricter quality validation. Electronics applications require tighter alignment and controlled deposition. Process capability, documentation, and repeatability now define credibility, and variability is no longer tolerated. Sunstar Graphics’ engineering-led approach has strengthened its positioning as manufacturers invest in high-performance platforms with matching support ecosystems.
Navigating Complexity with Clarit
Sunstar Graphics faces the challenge of process variability in the industrial screen printing realm, where factors like substrates, ink systems, environmental conditions, and operator skill levels impact output.
The company’s leadership approach is structured and technically grounded, focusing on expectation alignment, documented protocols, calibration discipline, and operator competence. By maintaining direct involvement during implementation, Sunstar Graphics reduces ambiguity and accelerates stabilisation, earning authority through technical clarity and response discipline.
The Three-Stage Operational Model
Sunstar Graphics’ operational model is structured around three stages. The first stage is application validation, which involves a thorough analysis of the product geometry, print area, tolerance requirements, and throughput expectations, enabling the company to recommend the optimal platform configuration. The second stage, controlled commissioning, encompasses installation, mechanical alignment, parameter calibration, and operator training, all following defined documentation and verification checkpoints.
The third stage, life cycle support, focuses on technical troubleshooting, spare parts planning, and performance reviews to ensure production continuity. Sunstar Graphics operates lean, but with technical depth and decision-making proximity.
An Edge Over the Peers
Sunstar Graphics differentiates itself through two core strengths: implementation ownership and process-level technical understanding.
The company’s commitment to implementation ownership ensures accountability beyond dispatch, with success measured by production stability, rather than just shipment completion. Sunstar Graphics’ process-level understanding enables the team to engage with the intricacies of production, from registration mechanics and screen tension dynamics to squeegee behaviour, ink rheology, curing control, and repeatability metrics. Leadership in this space requires precision in thinking and clarity in communication. That is the standard the team operate with.
Unique Value Proposition
Sunstar Graphics’ value proposition is built on delivering globalgrade precision backed by local technical accountability, mitigating three major risks faced by manufacturers. The company’s expertise mitigates selection risk by recommending technically appropriate configurations, ensuring the right solution for the job.
It reduces rampup risk by accelerating the transition from installation to stable output, minimising downtime and maximising productivity. Additionally, Sunstar Graphics minimises uptime risk by maintaining accessible technical guidance and structured support systems.
In automotive and electronics manufacturing environments, where downtime and rejection carry significant cost implications, Sunstar Graphics’ reliability becomes a decisive differentiator.
Driving Innovation through R&D
Sunstar Graphics’ approach to R&D is rooted in understanding the evolving needs of its customers and the industry. The company is closely engaged with evolving demands in optical registration, precision flatbed automation, and controlled deposition processes, driving innovation in functional and decorative layers.
In recent years, Sohel assumed leadership responsibilities at Sunstar Graphics, bringing operational structure, brand positioning clarity, and execution discipline to the company, building on the strong industry foundation established by his father over four decades.
A Legacy of Trust and Innovation
Sunstar Graphics India was formally established in 2013 and has built an excellent track record of milestones, building upon long-standing industry expertise inherited from SunGlow and Sericol.
The company’s key milestones include its foray into precision automatic systems, the development of robust post-installation documentation frameworks, and a strategic shift from transactional supply to structured technical partnership. However, the true defining milestone has been the trust built through consistent execution.
The Future Roadmap
Sunstar Graphics plans to grow with a structured and focused forward strategy. The company will deepen its presence in automotive components, printed electronics, and industrial transfer applications, harnessing its expertise to deliver top-notch solutions.
To drive technical excellence, Sunstar will expand its knowledge exchange initiatives and process clarity initiatives, nurturing collaboration and innovation. The company will continue to align with global precision platforms, ensuring it meets the most advanced technical requirements. As Indian manufacturing rises to global standards, Sunstar Graphics intends to operate at the highest level of excellence.
