Edelmann Packaging have modernised the Baddi Plant in Himachal Pradesh to enable entry into new markets and segments such as rigid boxes in beauty, gift packaging, and food segments for premium customers.

To meet the on-time delivery commitments of customers, they have officially announced the installation of a Fuchu Shiko semi-automatic rigid box machine. This machine enables them to boost production capacity and better serve customer demand for high-quality packaging. The most effective aspect of this machine is its optimal balance of automation and human operation. It automates repetitive tasks like feeding, folding, and gluing, maximizing productivity and ensuring the highest quality results, thereby making work easier due to its semi-automated nature and reducing time wastage.

B S Jolly, managing director & CEO of Edelmann India, shared “As a leading provider of packaging solutions, we are entrusted by our clients to elevate their brand packaging, ensuring their products shine in marketing strategies. We are committed to the ongoing growth of the rigid box industry in the years ahead. With this installation and more to come, we anticipate a significant boost in our printing and packaging capabilities for rigid boxes. In today's fiercely competitive landscape and amidst mounting pressure, this new machine inspires confidence in meeting our production deadlines, thus amplifying our operational effectiveness. We're thrilled to integrate this state-of-the-art addition into our existing infrastructure, poised to meet the escalating demand for rigid boxes.'"

The addition of this new rigid line will complement their current machinery, notably the Heidelberg CX102 high-speed 7-colour printing machines with double coater. Equipped with the capability to incorporate the latest embellishments available in the market, these machines will empower Edelmann India to seize opportunities in the premium rigid box segment, particularly within the beauty industry.
