Skanem Interlabels installs Nilpeter FA-4

Custom made to the specification requested by the company, the new press is installed at its Baddi plant in North India.

Skanem, a label manufacturer headquartered in Norway and with operations in seven European countries and Thailand, owns a 51 percent stake in Interlabels, with the company operating as a joint venture between Skanem and the Indian promoters of Interlabels.

Skanem said it chose to invest in Interlabels to participate in the growing Indian and East African markets, where Interlabels has a strong presence.

Skanem Interlabels has operations across India, and in Nairobi, Kenya. It exports into the Middle East, East Africa, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Gautam Kothari (pictured, left at the time of announcement of the Skanem investment in Interlabels), managing director of Skanem Interlabels, said: ‘We decided to go for a Nilpeter because Skanem has a strong relationship with the company and are extremely satisfied with these presses which are in use at various Skanem locations.’
