Cosmo Films to increase production capacity

The line has already been ordered and will increase the company’s annual BOPP production capacity from 140,000 to 200,000 metric tons. The new production line will be installed at the Karjan plant site near Vadodara, which already houses BOPP lines, extrusion coating, chemical coating lines and a metallizer.

 

The high speed line, equipped for automated changeovers, is claimed among the most advanced in the world at this width.

 

Pankaj Poddar, chief executive officer at Cosmo Films, said: ‘We are anticipating a strong demand for BOPP films in the coming years especially from the FMCG sector which prompts us to expand our BOPP production capacity.’

 

‘The output for the production unit intends to be used for both domestic and export markets. Our expansion plans are also aligned with government’s Make in India project, which aims at boosting home grown manufacturing companies. Cosmo Films remains committed in its efforts to develop the sector and set new industry benchmarks,’ he further added.
