Over the years, the company has gained perfection in the area of manufacturing packages for beverages, snacks, and confectionary items. ASEPTO will be its first attempt at providing liquid packaging with the initial concentration on items like juices, dairy products, and other viscous products like sauce.

A total investment of more than Rs 1,500 crore has gone into the ASEPTO project.

The industry of aseptic packaging is forecasted to experience the greatest of demands from beverage manufacturers during 2020. Ashok Chaturvedi-led Uflex is already riding high on the packaging business for solid, viscous fluid, semi solid, powder, and granule material.

Considering the commitment towards sustaining the environment, the manufacturing facility is structured as a ‘zero discharge plant’.

Our engineering unit in Noida has come up with design and manufacturing of machines with filling speed of up to 7,500 packs in an hour. These packs will be of a typical capacity of 200ml each.”

The Uflex chairman explained, “We are ready with a broad customer base that is being provided with completely integrated machines for packaging solid, granular, semi-solid, paste, powder, viscous fluid, and gel based products. With our aseptic packaging manufacturing plant to be opened in Gujarat, getting orders from the clients already associated with Uflex will be an extension of the long standing business relationship that has existed for several decades.”

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING TRENDS IN 2016

Uflex highlights the importance of Smart Packaging

Uflex ltd. is one of the leading packaging entities widely known for its quality standards. The company has established benchmarks of quality and excellence in the packaging industry providing state-of-the-art packaging solutions. Growing at a CAGR of 7%, the smart packaging market is expected to reach $39 billion by the year 2020.

Uflex points out that smart packaging is crucial for enhancing and expanding the reach of a brand. It ensures complete safety, enhanced functionality, superior aesthetics, complete value for money and convenience. The company states that smart packaging is an added advantage to the brand owner as it enhances customer interface. Tech Savvy customers use newer forms of media or technology platforms and those brands who engage on these platforms undoubtedly stand a higher chance of staying relevant in consumer’s life.

Smart Packaging enhances the information which makes it complete and ‘Intelligent Packaging’. It helps the customer to make informed purchase decisions as the complete information is provided by the smart codes embedded onto the package. It extends the shelf life of the product as an intelligent package calibrates itself in accordance with the ambience outside and inside the package. For instance color changing plastics can detect food spoilage and communicate the same to the retailers and consumers. Time Temperature Indicator Plastics are a big boon to detect loss of quality of the products packed. Food labels that communicate the packaged product’s state of freshness are getting picked up faster from the shelves. Smart packaging also ensures more sustainable package solutions as it helps to reduce the impact of packaging on the environment.

5 REASONS WHY FLEXIBLE PACKAGING IS A HIT!

Uflex Organizing Stairs School Football League (SSFL) Delhi – Season 2

Uflex, the packaging business of India, is figured for its Corporate Social Responsibility exercises and starting late in news is the association's sponsorship of the Stairs School Football League (SSFL) Delhi – Season. The affiliation is sorted out to pursue leading footballers who require the right stage to showcase their capacity. SSFL outfits them with the opportunity to make to national and overall football classes. Uflex has vowed a 5 year support for SSFL.

SSFL – Delhi saw enthusiasm from more than 6,000 youths across more than 288 schools in the National Capital Region in its second season. It started with at the end of the day 60 grassroots spotting camps over the four zones in Delhi. 592 matches were battled in a period spreading more than 100 days with collaboration from 288 gatherings. In a beginning, 32 young women's gatherings also took an enthusiasm for SSFL Delhi – 2 squaring up the gender diversity. In this process, STAIRS has been able to shortlist over 350 promising footballers for professional training. Over 150 underprivileged children including 52 girls were spotted and trained by STAIRS through the widely spread grassroots camps across Delhi.

4 winning teams – one each from Under 14 Girls, Under 14 Boys, Under 17 Girls, Under 17 Boys lifted the majestic gold plated Champions Trophy while the runners-up received the grand Silver Trophy. Both trophies are the running trophies and will remain with the winning teams’ school until the beginning of the SSFL 2016. The ceremony also witnessed 20 talented players who received the Golden Boot and Ball trophy. Individual prizes were given to 4 Best Strikers, 4 Best Defenders, 4 Best Goalkeepers, 4 Best Midfielders and 4 most promising players, one each for boys and girls in their respective age categories.

Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman & Managing Director, Uflex Limited in an official statement said that nothing bonds people better than sports bringing out all emotions to the fore. He is a firm believer that Sport is a medium that helps furthering the cause of national integration. It doesn’t get better than starting at early adolescence like SSFL does. The adrenaline rush on both sides builds up the real climax and then the best team wins. Winning or losing the game is not important, as long as true sportsmanship rules the roost. Uflex is in the business of flexible packaging and he exactly understands the merit of sports in packaging and shaping up the personalities of these budding sportspersons.

He was particularly elated to learn about the participation from girls. Today children are creating miracles on Indian soil. Tomorrow they will win laurels for our country across the globe. This is just the beginning. He congratulated all the participants of SSFL-Delhi, their family members and coaches for putting up a spectacular show over the last 100 days. He was glad with the partnership between Uflex and STAIRS for this meaningful endeavor and he is looking forward to more exciting and successful SSFL seasons in the years that follow.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Mr. Siddhartha Upadhyay, Founder and Secretary General, STAIRS said that today when the whole world is converging as a global village, SSFL is looked up to as one of the most promising football talent scouting platforms by clubs and bodies seeking to acquire talent right at early adolescence. While many officials and individuals from professional bodies keep their eyes on the budding players during the matches, selectors from international foreign clubs watch ‘live streaming’ of important matches and even call for recorded videos to assess the performance of promising players. STAIR’s efforts are focused at fulfilling children’s universal right to play; create opportunities for them to showcase their sporting talent and also nourish and nurture the promising players. The ultimate aim is to provide India with a pool of players who will ensure that we win at international competitions and make the whole country proud. In the process of scouting and training, the change in children’s personality, the positivity in their lives and the happiness that STAIRS is spreading are clearly the by-products of the engagement. It is extremely heartening to see the second season of SSFL being a whopping success. He firmly believes that season 3 will bet yet better and bigger in all respects.
