Company to install 20 corrugator lines in India by end-2022
BHS India, a known name in the corrugated industry, has confirmed its availability for the IndiaCorr Expo, which takes place from 8-10 October in Mumbai. BHS will showcase its existing automation features such as glue application, heat control, splice synchronization, BLC (Bridge Level Control), Bottom Liner Detection, temperature control, and more at Hall 4, Stand A53. The company will, however, focus more on the upcoming automation features such as BDC ( Board Dimension Control), ZDS 2.0 (Zero Defect System), and Auto Pilot, which will change how case makers work.
Ajay Bhardwaj, sales manager – India, BHS India, says, “IndiaCorr Expo 2021 at Greater Noida, which took place just after Covid-19, was fantastic for the company as we received good responses. In 2022, we are expecting a decent footfall and a good prospect list of customers so that we can grow more and reach out in the industry in less time and at a reasonable cost. We are looking forward to educating and enhancing the skill levels of industry people so that everyone can contribute to the growth. It will benefit everyone, starting from the customers to the suppliers.”
The company says it will touch a figure of 20 corrugator lines in India by end-2022. Bhardwaj adds, “The Make in India drive is showing results, we can see a change in the approach of the investors in India. The India corrugated boxes market is expected to exhibit a CAGR at a much faster pace during 2022-2027 because whatever is going to be manufactured in India will need a box to be packed according to the need for primary, secondary, or tertiary packaging. The corrugated packaging and folding carton segments both will get a bigger pie in the days to come.”
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.
The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.
Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.
As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.
