Konark Plastomech is a specialist in plastic extrusion machineries such as film extrusion, strapping bend extrusion, filament extrusion, synthetic string extrusion, stretch extrusion and various kinds of recycling lines – all of which are used in numerous packaging applications. The Ahmedabad-based company promoted its range of extrusion machineries at the PlastIndia exhibition, held from 1 – 5 February in New Delhi’s Pragati Maidan.
Konark Plastomech is one of the founding members of the PlastIndia Foundation, says Chetan Rajyaguru, senior manager, marketing and sales. “From the beginning, we have been taking part in the PlastIndia exhibitions. We are getting some good visitors. The experience has always been good with PlastIndia because it’s an international-level platform,” he said.
The plastics industry in India is growing as so many products are connected with some kind of plastic in our daily lives, he explains. “For the last four or five years, the government is trying to control plastic waste and develop technologies to convert the waste into different kinds of usable plastic products. In the coming years, the focus will be on using more and more recycled plastic and converting it into usable products,” Rajyaguru added.
Konark has machines to make PET strapping for packaging and PET filament for brushes. Its customer base comprises plastic packagers manufacturing flexible packaging products. The company supplies machines all across India and to over 25 countries globally, including Germany, the US, Middle East and Africa.
Every year, the company focuses on expansion, be it capacity or the development of new products, Rajyaguru says. “For the last 2-3 years, we have been working on it and in the next five years, we will increase 15-20% of our capacity,” he concluded.
