The investment will help support India’s growing demand for closure liners as the country continues to expand its marketplace offerings
Tri-Seal, a Tekni-Plex business in the US, has invested $1 million in a new closure liner manufacturing facility in Greater Noida.
The company’s latest investment in foil laminating, four-color rotogravure printing and inspection equipment will significantly reduce lead time for closure liners used in pharmaceutical, food, household/industrial chemical and cosmetic applications in India.
The new 8,000 sq. meter (86,000 sq. foot) facility, which operates under the Tekni-Plex India Pvt. Ltd. name, is 60% larger than Tri-Seal’s previous manufacturing location in the same area.
The investment in equipment and additional space now allows the company to laminate one- and two-piece heat-seal liner structures in India, with the same specifications and raw material used by its U.S. manufacturing facilities.
The investment will help support India’s growing demand for closure liners as the country continues to expand its marketplace offerings.
The new facility, located in the Gautam Budh Nagar district of the Uttar Pradesh state, will also have expanded testing capability via an in-house laboratory. Its new four-color rotogravure printing capability will enable customization for brand messaging or usage instructions.
Additionally, all the employees from the previous facilities are now at the new location, plus additional employees have been added to operate the new equipment.
