Skypack also boasts of 3- and 5-layer coextruded blown film lines, a tubing machine and tube printing machine. At Pack Expo International that took place in Chicago recently, Skypack focused on the potential from food industry, cosmetics segment as well as pharmaceuticals industry.
“We have expertise in small-sized solutions. With the popularity of small packaging rising in the US, we are quite optimistic about our growth here as well,” said Naveen Talwar, director – marketing, Skypack India.
Currently, the company derives less than 1% of its business from the US but hopes that shares will go up in the near future. “We do not say that we have a very big advantage vis-a-vis our competitors when it comes to quality. But, yes, when it comes to cost we certainly have a decent advantage,” Talwar emphasized.
Outlining their plans for the US market, he said the most important thing right now for the company is to look for a representative. Talwar is hoping to have a representative who would be an exclusive one for the US market.
