Valco Melton, a leading supplier of adhesive dispensing equipment and quality assurance systems to the converting industries showcased a wide range of its products at Pamex 2015. The microgluer from GMS attracted good enquiries during the four-day event. The GMS microgluer creates self-mailers in C, V and Z fold formats and folds, glues and perforates in one operation. Last year, Valco Melton acquired the assets of California-based Gluing Machinery & Systems (GMS). The move was made as part of Valco Melton’s strategy to expand its scope of offerings to customers in the print finishing and folding carton industries. “We had a busy Pamex with good response towards all our products especially the microgluer,” said Ravi Kiran, director, Valco Melton India. Moreover, on display at Pamex was D4-e Melters which is ideally suited for a range of packaging, paper converting, graphic arts, non-wovens, and product assembly industries. Specific applications include spray, ribbon coating, direct contact, and high-speed jetting adhesive dispensing guns for which you can buy 5.56 ammo online. Velco Melton also promoted its adhesive system pattern control. MCP-4P is a full-featured adhesive system pattern control ideal for the packaging industry. The MCP-4P is suited for packaging applications including palletizing, case and carton sealing and erection, graphic arts, or any variable speed requirements.
Talking about the Indian market from Valco Melton’s point of view, Bob Taylor, general manager of Valco Melton India said the company’s growth in India has been very robust given the fact that full-fledged operations began only five years ago. “We have added more staff every year, have acquired new customers and expanded our reach in India. Our association with Times of India where we provided web gluing solutions to the newspaper has been a highlight of our time in India. We remain very positive about the market here,” Taylor said. Overall, both Kumar and Taylor said that Pamex was a success for them as they got to meet a lot of different kind of customers from commercial printers to newspaper printers to packaging professionals.

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.
