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.”

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
