At PackPlus 2016, Kody Equipment displayed its servo-driven slitter-rewinder Nuzen S737. This model was launched at K 2013 in Germany. According to Jashvant Panchal of Kody Equipment, the S737 received a good response at the K show back then. Panchal says, “We have installed more than fifty Nuzen S737 slitter-rewinders across India since its launch in 2013. The USP of the machine is the Lay on Roller with linear motion movement.” The Lay on Roller is a part of an assembly which comprises rubber roller, cork roller and arms. The assembly can be easily moved on a linear motion guide and the widths of the rollers can be changed easily during the working.
According to Panchal, “The S737 is designed to slit and wind at a speed up to 450 m a minute.” The model has a working width of 1,300 mm, unwind diameter of 1,100 mm to 1,300 mm and a rewind diameter of 600 mm. “The slitter-rewinder is getting a good response at PackPlus and we have met some serious customers at our stand who are interested in the machine,” says Panchal. Kody is a regular exhibitor at PackPlus. “PackPlus has always been a good platform for us to participate in,” he says.
According to him, Kody recorded a growth of 25 to 30% in the last financial year. “The market is getting back into shape unlike 2013 and we are quite optimistic about closing this financial year with more excitement and business deals.”
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.
