RDD is a firm believer in innovation, and we are constantly in touch with the technical team of mills and customers for their specialised requirements.

We, at Raj Dealers & Distributors, have closely worked in recent times with convertors of e-commerce packaging, cooler base paper, carry bag manufacturers, digital printers & carbonless base paper. We were able to meet our business targets for 2021-22, which were set after a sluggish 2020-21. After the second wave, the demand has been stable in Q3 & Q4.

Key trends driving the growth
The pandemic has made one thing very clear, that is, every country should try to achieve self-sufficiency and be indigenously able to cater to its needs in all aspects. ‘Make in India’ in its true self was understood. Secondly, as our industry per se, ‘Single-Use Plastic Ban’ announced by the government has made the corporate and business realise the mandate to change to eco-friendly solutions in all aspects, from product-packaging-delivery. This will be a big driving trend in years ahead and requirements to the industrial segment will grow to a new height.
