At PlastIndia 2026 in Delhi in February, Ingsol, a technology company, will highlight itself as a differentiated engineering and solutions partner for the flexible packaging industry, one that combines deep OEM-level expertise with agility, faster execution, and a customer-first philosophy.
The company will showcase its entire portfolio of retrofit solutions manufactured in Greater Noida, digital transformation platforms, and upcoming AI offerings at the show from 5 to 10 February.
Founded in 2021, the company was born out of an industry gap identified by its founders after spending nearly a decade with leading European OEMs. Speaking about the company’s origins, Faraz Khan, partner with Ingsol, said he and his business partner had extensive experience with Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H), handling service projects in India, the Middle East, and Africa.
According to him, Indian customers, especially in today’s competitive environment, expect a different level of flexibility, speed, and engagement. That insight led to the formation of Ingsol, which today works with major flexible packaging players across India, the Middle East, and Africa. “Most of our customers don’t just know the company, they know us personally,” Khan noted.
The company offers mechanical and electrical engineering, industrial automation, installations, commissioning, spares, retrofits, upgrades, and specialized services such as die cleaning for blown film lines and more. Alongside conventional engineering services, Ingsol has also been increasingly active in digital transformation and AI-led manufacturing projects.
Operationally, the company has one of its offices in India with a factory and warehouse in Ecotech 6, Greater Noida, while maintaining offices in the US, UAE, and the UK. According to Khan, a significant portion of its revenue currently comes from the US market.
A key theme Ingsol is highlighting at PlastIndia 2026 is differentiation, particularly in how it complements or even outperforms OEM service offerings. According to Khan, Ingsol works almost exclusively on European machinery, including W&H, Reifenhauser, Bobst, Nordmeccanica, Alpine, and more. “Very rarely, maybe five percent of the time, we work on Indian, Taiwanese, or Chinese machines, and that too only because some customers insist on a single service partner,” he said.
The company says its core differentiators lie in quality, flexibility, and turnaround time. While European OEMs typically deploy a single engineer for service tasks, Ingsol assigns teams of two to three specialists. “Where an OEM might take 12–14 days for a die cleaning job, we can have the machine production-ready in eight days, with five days of actual production saved,” Khan said.
Retrofits and upgrades are another strong focus area. Khan pointed out that OEM upgrade solutions often come with long delivery timelines and are based on technologies that may already be several years old. “By the time an OEM upgrade is installed, it’s already halfway to obsolescence,” he said. “We design solutions using open-market hardware that will remain available for the next 10–15 years. The customer owns the solution completely.”
This philosophy extends to Ingsol’s growing software and automation capabilities. The company is currently developing an integrated manufacturing execution system (MES) specifically for the packaging industry, along with AI-driven solutions. These include generative AI models trained exclusively on packaging-industry data.
Concluding the interaction, Khan highlighted that for converters looking beyond conventional OEM service models, Ingsol presents a compelling alternative: European-quality engineering, faster execution, future-ready technology, and true ownership of solutions.
