With a career spanning nearly five decades in the printing industry, Ilyas Karademir has built a legacy of excellence, innovation, and resilience. Having started in newspaper production before transitioning into book publishing and printing, his expertise has shaped a company that now serves clients across five continents and more than 30 countries.
Serving High-Profile Clients Across the World
From commercial and art books to custom handmade editions, IMAK has set the standard for high-quality printing. The company’s reputation has attracted prestigious clients, including prime ministers, presidents, and global publishers, who rely on their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their global footprint and ability to deliver world-class products have positioned them as a key player in the printing industry.
Overcoming Challenges with Innovation
Like any industry leader, IMAK has faced challenges. Before upgrading their printing presses, they struggled with production efficiency and print quality. Recognising the need for change, they turned to Komori to renew their machines, integrating advanced inspection systems that transformed their workflow.
With the installation of the new Komori GL540 advance, IMAK has significantly improved its production process. The advanced technology has reduced the likelihood of technical and printing errors, ensuring consistently high-quality standards. This investment has boosted confidence in their operations and enabled them to meet client demands more efficiently.
The Best in Their Field
IMAK takes immense pride in its commitment to excellence, always striving to perfect its craft. Their decision to continuously invest in cutting-edge technology underscores their dedication to maintaining their leadership in the industry.
"Our commitment to becoming the best in our field ultimately guided our decision to stay with the presses from Komori, which aligns with our quality standards and production goals."
This unwavering pursuit of perfection has allowed them to stand out in a competitive market and deliver exceptional products to their esteemed clients worldwide.
Empowering the Team with Advanced Technology
Beyond improved processes, the new technology has had a profound impact on the people behind the operation.
"The plant manager appreciates the significant reduction in setup time and paper waste, which has led to enhanced overall efficiency. Operators have noted the reliability of colour management and the ease of monitoring through KP-Connect, which has made their jobs more manageable and streamlined."
With these advancements, the entire team can focus on what they do best—delivering superior printing quality while maintaining operational excellence.
A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, IMAK remains committed to innovation. Instead of simply increasing their number of machines, they prioritise efficiency by investing in state-of-the-art technology such as PQA-S for consistent colour density and KP-Connect for real-time performance monitoring. Their strategy ensures they stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market while continuing to meet and exceed the expectations of their high-profile clientele.
Service and Maintenance: A Cost-Effective Approach
IMAK understands that investing in new technology is only part of the equation. Their approach to service and maintenance ensures long-term value beyond the initial investment. By working with Komori’s cost-effective solutions, they have optimised production efficiency while minimising downtime. This proactive strategy not only enhances operational reliability but also maximises return on investment, reinforcing IMAK’s reputation as a leader in the printing industry.
Through perseverance, innovation, and an unyielding commitment to quality, IMAK has not only strengthened its position in the industry but also set a new benchmark for excellence in global book printing.
