The Kollur foil plant
is located 35 km from the city of Hyderabad
(famous for the Charminar) in the southern
Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The 23-acre
plant was originally acquired from Annapurna
Foils Ltd. by Indal in 2001 and later merged
with Hindalco in 2008, consequent to the
acquisition of Indal by Hindalco.
The 4,000-tpa plant produces a wide array
of high-quality foil and foil laminates
ranging from blister foil and poly laminates
for pharmaceutical applications and down
gauging upto 7-micron thickness used for
flexible packaging applications / confectionery
industry.
Addressing the potential demand in
the foil and packaging segment, Kollur has
invested in the latest high-end equipment
at par with global standards. Its efficient
functioning depends on the 1060-mm wide
4-high universal foil cold rolling mill,
operating with globally recognised Fata
Hunter Technology of Italy; its foil separator
of Midimat, Switzerland, two laminators
from Prandi, Italy for various foil lamination
processes and coating of cigarette foil,
confectionery wrap, blister foil, lidding
foil and other substrates used in food and
packaging applications.
Its poly extruder produces polyethylene
grades on foil surface for varied foil structures
and the 5-colour printing machine produces
various foil printed designs tailored to
meet customer needs.
Kollur is certified with the Integrated
Management System (IMS) covering all three
international standards viz., ISO 9001,
ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. The Kollur unit
has the DMF registration with US:FDA for
blister and strip foil, to enable its pharma
customers export to the US markets. Its
250-strong workforce has the requisite expertise
to meet the stringent customer demands from
the pharma, processed foods and cigarette-packing
industries it caters to, in terms of quality
and delivery.
About
