Offering Roll-Fed aseptic cartons under the brand “ALPAK”
Norway-based firm Elopak and GLS (The Netherlands-based GLS Group) have announced a joint venture in which the two companies will each have 50% ownership. The newly formed company, GLS Elopak (headquartered at Gurugram) will leverage the respective expertise, assets and networks of Elopak and GLS to capitalize on the significant consumer demand in India.
The company is being established to manufacture and process high-quality fresh and aseptic packaging solutions, which are designed to ensure that liquid food is safe and accessible to consumers across the globe.
The company will cater to both fresh and aseptic segments with applications such as dairy, plant-based drinks, juice, water and liquor.
With its manufacturing hub close to Delhi at Rewari in Haryana, GLS Elopak will be the only producer of fiber-based packaging for liquid food in the Haryana area. It will immediately start to offer Roll-Fed aseptic cartons under the brand “ALPAK” in various sizes, along with end-to-end service support, to customers. Going forward, the company will introduce Pure-Pak fresh cartons, Pure-Pak aseptic cartons and complementary solutions.
Commenting on the partnership GLS Director Arpit Goyal noted, “Given the growth potential in India and the need for alternative packaging solutions, especially in the fresh milk and water segment, GLS Elopak will be able to add value and contribute to the country in the best possible manner.”
