Mumbai-headquartered Brilliant Polymers, India’s leading manufacturer of laminating adhesives for flexible packaging, has made its debut at Interpack this year – showcasing three new solutions at the Dusseldorf expo.
“In the last two-three years, our exports have grown rapidly. Earlier exports would contribute about 20% to our topline. But in recent years, the share has gone up to more than 30%. Because of this growth in exports, we thought it would be a good idea to come to Interpack, which is one of the world’s biggest trade shows for the packaging and processing industry,” Gaurav Talwar, managing director, Brilliant Polymers, said.
“We have a lot of customers in markets such as Africa, Middle-East, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. At Interpack, we are trying to meet as many of our global customers as possible as a lot of them would be visiting the expo. We are also looking to meet potential customers,” Talwar said.
New solutions at Interpack
In addition to its regular products, Brilliant Polymers has showcased a few recently launched solutions. The first one is called Max Cure, which is an ultra-fast curing solvent-free adhesive. “This product will be first available in the Indian market and then in the third quarter of 2023, we will take it globally,” Talwar said.
The company also talked about the glymo-free high-performance solvent-based adhesive named HA960 and A900. These products will also be launched first in India and then taken to the global market, Talwar added.
Bullish on India
Brilliant Polymers is extremely bullish about the Indian market. The company announced a large-scale capacity expansion in the form of a new state-of-the-art plant at its site in Ambernath. The new facility, located about 60 km from Mumbai, was inaugurated on 2 July 2022, and will double the company’s production capacity.
“As you know we made a big investment last year and that is already paying off extremely well. This shows how strong the Indian packaging market is. I am very bullish about our growth in the Indian market and the overall Indian economy,” Talwar concluded.
