HP & Redington Just Opened a Game-Changing Digital Printing Hub in Chennai
If you’ve been following the digital printing space in India, you know that the gap between “traditional” and “digital” is finally closing. But having the technology is one thing—knowing how to use it effectively is another.
That’s exactly why the new Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Chennai, launched by HP and Redington, feels like such a big deal.
Officially inaugurated this week, this 20,000-square-foot facility isn’t just a showroom. It’s a dedicated space designed to help businesses actually do something with advanced digital printing. Whether you’re a print service provider, a brand owner, or someone looking to modernize manufacturing workflows, this center is built to help you get hands-on with the future of print.
More Than Just a Demo Room
The idea here is simple but powerful: provide a space where customers, partners, and industry professionals can move beyond brochures and experience HP’s digital solutions in real-world scenarios.
Spread across a massive facility in Chennai, the CoE will focus on three core areas:
- Live demonstrations that let you see HP’s industrial and inkjet technologies in action.
- Professional training and education programs to help brands and print buyers understand digital workflows.
- Process optimization and consulting, so you’re not just buying equipment—you’re learning how to make it work for your business.
It’s a one-stop hub for anyone looking to adopt digital printing without the usual guesswork.
Why This Matters for India’s Print Ecosystem
According to Pawan Chauhan, Country Business Manager for HP Industrial and Inkjet Business Solutions in India, this launch represents a long-term commitment to building skills and driving innovation in the country.
“The launch of the Centre of Excellence reflects our long-term commitment to the Indian digital printing ecosystem and our focus on building skills for the future of work and driving innovation,” Chauhan said. “It is also a moment to celebrate 21 years of trust and collaboration between HP and Redington.”
Twenty-one years of partnership is worth noting. It’s not just about a new facility—it’s about deepening a relationship that has helped shape India’s printing landscape for over two decades.
Redington’s Group CEO, V.S. Hariharan, framed the initiative as part of a broader shift toward flexible, digital-first manufacturing. The goal? To deepen customer engagement, expand solution-led offerings, and accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies—including HP Indigo and industrial 3D printing solutions.
What This Means for You
If you’re an HP enthusiast or someone involved in the print and manufacturing space, this Centre of Excellence signals a few important things:
First, the industry is moving beyond simple hardware sales. The focus now is on enabling businesses to succeed with digital transformation. Second, India is becoming a key market for innovation in printing—and HP is investing heavily in that growth. And finally, whether you’re looking to upskill your team or explore new revenue streams, you now have a dedicated space to make it happen.
Final Thoughts
The launch of the HP and Redington Centre of Excellence in Chennai isn’t just a ribbon-cutting event. It’s a practical step toward making digital printing more accessible, understandable, and profitable for Indian businesses.
For anyone serious about staying ahead in this space, it’s worth keeping an eye on what comes out of this hub. Better yet, if you get a chance to visit, you’ll likely walk away with a much clearer picture of where digital printing is headed—and how you can be part of it.
