Parksons Packaging heading north

Greenfield plant at Pantnagar Design Park at Chakan

Parksons Packaging one the leading Indian board packaging companies continues to increase capacity and expand. Apart from increased capacity at its first plant in Daman and rapid expansion of its Chakan project inaugurated in early 2007, Parksons are now on the threshold of launching their third board packaging plant at Pantnagar in Rudrapur District about 250 kilometres from Delhi in the newly formed state of Uttaranchal.

Parksons’ Pantnagar plant will be headed by Director of operations for North India, KN Patel and is scheduled to start-up before March 2010 with two presslines including a new Roland 700 Hiprint 6-colour plus coater. For converting, two Bobst die-cutters and two folder gluers will initiate the production of both monocartons and E-flute cartons. The expansion in Rudrapur is seen as coming closer to some of Parksons’ existing customers who have built plants in North India to take advantage of the tax benefits available to them in the Special Economic Zones there. According to Parksons’ CEO Ramesh Kejriwal, “the new plant will bring logistical benefits of multi-location supply to our customers in addition to the tax benefits that they enjoy by manufacturing in the SEZ.”
