BST eltromat India is close to signing a blanket deal to supply iPQ Center—an intelligent and integrated quality assurance solution—to an Indian customer, Tappan Patel, managing director, BST eltromat India told Packaging South Asia during the recently concluded Plastindia 2018.
He informed that 11 systems will be supplied by May 2018, and another 15 will be supplied during the second half of this year and next year.
BSTe India demonstrated iPQ Center with iPQ Check & iPQ View modules as their flagship products at Plastindia. The iPQ Center combines numerous quality assurance features on a clearly designed software platform. Its uniform and intuitive control design enables a central access to various quality management features, from 100% defect detection to zoom up to dot-level to the full view of the complete repeat to color measurement, bar code verification, etc. The iPQ Center can be freely configured and upgraded according to the requirements of the application.
The unit that was shown at Plastindia will be placed at BST eltromat’s India demo center, where potential customers can bring their own rolls and run the unit so that they can have a better feel of the technology.
Talking about acceptance among Indian customers of advanced quality assurance systems like iPQ Center, Patel said that converters have realized the importance of quality being the

topmost factor and that such quality assurance systems will become the standard in a few years in India.
“Customers can make a significant saving by reducing their wastage using quality assurance systems. This can have a major impact on their business,” Patel concluded.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
