Making a mark in the printing industry

IT IS hard to picture the humble origins of local printing giant Print Lab when it is now equipped with a full suite of state-of-the-art printing machines and occupies more than 30,000 sq ft in a three-storey building.

In 2007, Print Lab started as a two-man venture with Muralikrishnan Rangan as CEO. As an engineering graduate from RMIT University, Mr Murali saw huge potential in modernising the traditional printing industry. Defying conventional wisdom that it was a sunset industry in Singapore, he established Print Lab with neither much capital nor the essential printing facilities.

The business got off to a rough start, but despite multiple setbacks in its initial years, Mr Murali's faith and passion in the enterprise remain unwavered.
