Cosmo Films, a global leader in films for
packaging, lamination and labeling applications has announced commissioning of
its second Cast Polypropylene (CPP) Line and fourth metalizer, both having
annual capacity of 7500 MT. With
installation of these new lines, the company’s annual CPP films capacity will
go from 1800 MT to 9300 MT and the metalized films will increase from 15000 MT
to 22,500 MT.
These new lines have been commissioned at company’s
existing facility at Karjan, near Vadodara, India which already houses BOPP
lines, extrusion coating & chemical coating lines and a metalizer. The 2.85
meter CPP line is five-layered and is designed to produce speciality films
(especially barrier films) for various packaging applications. The line has the
possibility to have multilayer combinations. The new 2.85 meter metalizer is
equipped with advanced control monitoring system and closed loop auto
deposition control system. The facility at Karjan has been developed keeping
future expansions in mind.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Pankaj Poddar,
CEO, Cosmo Films Ltd said, “Apart from being a focussed BOPP player over the
years, we have made significant efforts in recent times to become a complete
film solution provider with more and more films to offer along with various
value added services. Moreover there has been a dearth of organised CPP players
in the market and with the expansion of our capacity; we shall be better suited
to serve our customers. The new lines
are also expected to help increase the overall margins and volumes to some
extent.”
