The Meteoric Rise of Jindal Poly Films

• Decrease Increase

Starting from scratch with manufacture of biaxially oriented polyester (BOPET) films in 1996 and diversifying into biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films in 2003, JPFL have become one of the largest global players in this business. In fact, their Nasik plant is now the world’s largest single-location manufacturing facility for packaging films with a total capacity to turn out 90,000 MT of BOPET films (3 thin film lines + 1 thick film line) and 90,000 MT of BOPP films (one 5-layer line + two 3-layer lines) per year. These lines include some of the world’s largest lines for both BOPET and BOPP. They are today the 5th largest BOPET manufacturer in the world. They also have downstream facilities to produce 40,000MT of metallised films, including 2 lines under installation, and 4,500 MT of acrylic, PVDC and LTS coated films per year. Almost 80 per cent of their metallising capacity is equipped with state-of-the-art plasma treatment. Two more 45,000 MT/year BOPP lines have been ordered, the first of which will be operational by June 2008 and the other by December 2008. One more 25,000 MT/year BOPET line and a new coating line will also come on stream shortly. ...cont´d
