Flint Group builds new site in India

In order to meet increased demand and to further improve its service to packaging converters, Flint Group is building a new manufacturing site for packaging and narrow web inks in Savli near Baroda in India. 

Flint Group has been present in India since 2001, but the company’s roots go back much further than this. ‘Thanks to strong and long-term partnerships with our customers, Flint Group can look back on decades of innovations and leading product developments,’ commented George Lyle, vice president, packaging and narrow web, Asia. ‘Our most complete portfolio of product offerings is well known all over the world and investing into a new site in India was the next logical step to prepare the grounds for continuous growth over the next years.’ 

‘We already have an ISO 9001-2000 certified mother plant for packaging inks in Bangalore and blending units in Baroda, Noida and Savli, supported by depots at Pondicherry, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Navi Mumbai,’ said Upal Roy, general manager, Flint Group India. ‘We are proud to soon be in a position to support the market even further with our new plant in Savli.’ 

The plant is currently being built and will meet European standards on processes and safety. It will consist of separate areas for the manufacturing of water-based, toluene based and toluene free solvent based inks.
