Emami Paper Mills Ltd. has recently ordered 130,000 TPA packaging board machine. Informing more about the project Mr. P.S. Patwari, Executive Director, Emami Paper Mills Ltd., said, “Keeping in view the growth in packaging requirement, we are going for a multi-layer coated board project at Balgopalpur, Balasore, with a capacity of 130,000 TPA. In fact, value-added products have a double digit market growth. The new facility is scheduled to start running in April 2015. The suppliers are Andritz (Germany), Gapcon (Germany) and other European and Chinese suppliers. It will be a state-of-the-art facility capable of manufacturing all grades of coated board, viz. Grey Back, White Back, Folding Box Board (FBB), Solid Bleached Sulphate Board (SBS), Cup Stock and Liquid Packaging Board. However, the main focus of Emami will be on value-added products. The progress of the project is as per schedule, and major orders have already been placed.”
