Newstech introduced one of India's first Automatic Ink Pumping Systems from BETZ, Germany for Web-offset Presses in 1994 resulting in several installations. In 1999 Newstech introduced the DSC line of pressroom chemicals, widely considered the World’s leading Premium Offset Printing Chemicals Brand. This resulted in several large and long term chemicals supply contracts with many of India's leading publishers and packagers.

In 2003, Newstech entered stepped into manufacturing and cemented it's legacy as India's first homegrown mailroom system manufacturer by entering into a manufacturing JV with the world leader in mailroom systems at the time, IDAB WAMAC, Sweden. This resulted in tremendous success with many regional as well as national dailies adopting the technology. Newstech deepened its focus on automation in 2004 by developing an economical Cross Strapper with TRANSPAK, Taiwan, for the rapidly growing Small & Medium Newspapers.
