The Proprietor:-
Star Enterprises was established by Mr. Vinaya Shetty, in the year 1982. Before establishment of his own printing press he was working for some other printing press which was owned by a Parsi family, where he used to handle the production, marketing and accounts.
When he started with Star Enterprises it was under a partnership basis. Initially they started off with doing only canvas job, and slowly expanded into a fully equipped printing press. Mr. Vinaya Shetty has been in this industry for more than 40 years now.
Leadership Style:-
Mr. Vinaya Shetty is the head of the company and takes the major decision since he has over 40 years of experience, but there are times where Mr. Vinaya Shetty consults Mr. Patel who is the head of production department for some decisions.
Mr. Patel has been working in the factory from the beginning of Star Enterprises. But Mr. Vivek Shetty, who is the son of Mr. Vinaya Shetty, believes in participative style of leadership.
Administration Structure:-
Mr. Vinaya Shetty, the proprietor of the company is the head of the company and also handles the finance of the company. Mr. Rajendra Patel handles production operations. Mr. Vivek handles sales & marketing of the company; and in the absence of Mr. Patel he also handles the production operations.
There are no separate departments but they have various sections like printing, punching, pasting under the production operations. These sections do not have any head but a person is appointed to handle each operation and see to it that the job goes on smoothly without any problems.
The Products:-
The company’s product-range includes Posters, Danglers, Paper bags, Cartons, Leaflets, Calendars, Diaries, etc., on order basis. The company has the capacity to print any design, match any color combination, provide the material in any shape and size and print on variety of papers with different textures and finish. To further enhance the appeal it also offers foil stamping, UV Coating, Water based Varnishing, Lamination, etc.
It specializes in Printed Paper Cartons required for Soaps, Stationary items, Pharmaceutical Packaging etc and for ready-made garments such as readymade boxes for Shirts, Trousers, Sari boxes and all types of garments and Price Tags.
Raw Materials and Suppliers:-
Paper is the basic raw material required.
The different types of paper used in the printing and packaging industry are:-
1) Duplex grey back board
2) Duplex white back board
3) Art paper
4) Art card
5) Mirror coat
6) Card paper
7) ITC cyber excel
8) ITC sapphire graphix
9) ITC pearl.
As far as the suppliers of paper are concerned there are several mills which supply to Star Enterprises depending upon the requirement. The leader amongst them is ITC. It is a top company providing Virgin Board. There is stiff competition in the duplex section amongst the other mills like NR paper mills, Gayathri Shakti and Khanna paper mills, etc, along with ITC.
But as far as the quality is concerned and according to the customer preference, best quality duplex paper is provided by NR paper mills, the medium quality paper is provided by Gayathri Shakti, and the lowest and cheapest in terms of price by Khanna mills.
INK quality has no changes and is provided by many companies such as Micro Inks, Sicpa Inks, Cellular Inks and Hindustan Inks. They purchase inks from these companies, as they get the delivery of the inks within 3-4 hours time because these companies have their distribution centers at various places in Mumbai and the first two companies have their distribution center close to the firm.
PLASTIC is in the form of thin sheets which is used for lamination. S.M. Plastics are the only suppliers to this firm.
MACHINES are imported either from HEIDELBERG Germany or TRUGRADE United Kingdom
Selection of Suppliers:-
Selection of suppliers is done on the following basis:-
1. Quality: - It is the most important factor on the basis on which the suppliers are selected.
2. Long term relationship: - The long term relationship with the suppliers is also taken into consideration. Most of the suppliers who supply to Star Enterprises have been with them for a long time; hence they are given a preference over the new suppliers as they have developed a bond of mutual-trust amongst them.
3. Credit terms and Services: - The Company looks for the best credit terms and service provided by the suppliers.
4. Delivery time: - The time of delivery also matters, in case if the order is urgently required by the customer. Also suppliers with faster delivery time are preferred
