Packaging specialist Mespack India has announced that as part of its parent company’s global strategy, it will now be known as Duravant India. This change represents much more than a new name—it marks the beginning of an exciting chapter of growth, innovation, and stronger partnerships, the company said.
According to a statement, clients will continue to receive the same reliable packaging solutions, services, and support under the Mespack brand. In addition, the company is expanding its portfolio to include Duravant’s global brands in food sorting and handling, protein processing, material handling, and advanced packaging technologies, thus increasing the value chain. It is also investing in localised engineering, service, and resources in India.
“For years, Mespack India has proudly stood as a trusted name in packaging solutions— known for its engineering excellence, customer-first approach, and ability to deliver quality with consistency. Together, we have built strong partnerships and a reputation that has made us a reliable choice in the industry,” its Indian head Anthony D’souza said in a statement.
“Our journey as Mespack India has been one of steady growth and unwavering trust, built through the dedication of our people and the loyalty of our customers. It is on this strong foundation that we now step into a new future while supporting sustainability initiatives, ensuring process and output efficiency and delivering unmatched service.”

Duravant, a global leader in engineered equipment and automation solutions for the food processing, packaging, and material handling sectors, has also announced the expansion of operations in India. The launch of Duravant India marks a major advancement in Duravant’s emerging markets strategy and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering localized expertise and world-class service in high growth markets

Duravant’s portfolio—ranging from advanced automation equipment and integration services to comprehensive aftermarket support—will be deployed in partnership with its nineteen operating companies.
“For over 15 years, we’ve maintained a strong local presence in India through a dedicated team from Mespack, a Duravant company,” added Diamantides. “Now, expanding our reach to offer solutions across the full Duravant portfolio is a game-changer for operators seeking advanced technologies in protein processing, food sorting and handling, packaging, and material handling. It’s a significant step towards delivering even greater value to our customers across the region.”
“India represents one of the world’s most dynamic industrial and consumer markets,” said Anthony D’souza, acting managing director, Duravant India. Emphasizing the country’s strategic importance, D’souza cites rapid economic development and the adoption of automation across sectors such as food, agriculture, consumer goods and logistics. “India’s manufacturing sector is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by rising consumer demand, increasing export opportunities, and a strong push for efficiency and safety. Businesses are turning to automation not just to scale operations, but to meet global standards–and they’re looking to 2 trusted partners like Duravant to deliver proven, high-performance solutions that can support their growth, he added.”
