Printing Press was founded at Moti Bazaar in Dehli Gate, Lahore, In 1920, Malik Muhammad Rafi re-established the New Modern Press on Chamberlain Road in Gowalmandi, where the main business was derived from The Lahore offices of the American Center and The American Consulate.
It was after Malik Muhammad Saleem joined the establishment in 1962 that New Modern Press generated fresh revenues by obtaining the customer of Wyeth Laboratories and Schering pharma ceuticals immediately after his joining. Progress continued at a steady pace and we look back with great pride at the time between 1962 and 1980 as one of consolidation and slow but, sure-footed growth. A time when we not only established ourselves as a reliable and dependable business partner but, more importantly, it was a time of learning modern business techniques and processes, as well.
There usually comes a time in the lives of many companies when their managements have to decide to meet the competition head-on or to slowly disappear into oblivion. Such a time for New Modern Press arrived in 1980. It was in this year that the well-established and successful name of New Modern Press was changed to printech.
The new name was meant to connote the vision of the management in their decision to modernize and expand the operations of the company and to inform all concerned of our resolve to not only to continue to stay in the business but, to bring about a totally new approach and mind-set to the way we wanted to keep up with the latest technological advancements and business development taking place at an ever-growing pace across the globe.
The history of Printech traces back to 1880, when iL.B.N. Printing Press was established at Moti Bazaar, Dehli Gate, Lahore. This marked the beginning of a long-standing printing legacy focused on serving local industries with quality and reliability.
Malik Muhammad Rafi re-established the printing business under the name New Modern Press on Chamberlain Road, Gowalmandi, Lahore. During this period, the press worked closely with prominent institutions, including the Lahore offices of the American Center and the American Consulate.
