About Us
The
company was incorporated on 7th May, 1981 as Ecoplast
Pvt. Ltd. The name of the Company
was changed to Ecoplast Limited on
18th June, 1994, for which a fresh Certificate of Incorporation was
issued by the Registrar of Companies Gujrat on 11th July, 1994.
The
Company commenced its commercial operation in Sept. 1982, with a plant
of annual capacity of 540 MT. The Company was initially registered as
an SSI Unit. The Company expanded its capacity in 1986 to 1400 MT/year
and was registered as a DGTD Unit. The two Co-extrusion lines were supplied
by Paul Kiefel, GmbH, W. Germany, a well known supplier world-wide of
film Co-extrusion equipment.
Over the decade, the Company has been setting
standards on quality and innovating on multilayer film structures to
provide the required film properties critical to pack, preserve and
display a wide range of products.

Technology
Ecoplast Ltd.
is in the business of manufacturing and selling polyethylene films for
flexible packaging and other specialty applications. The films currently
manufactured are known as multilayer films produced by the blown film
Co-extrusion process.
Multilayer films, are a combination of two or
more thermoplastics co-extruded to form one homogenous film, but with
distinct individual layers, which depending on their structure, can
provide a range of properties not possible with monolayer films.
The Company further expanded its multilayer
film production capacity by 2500 MT in 1995.

The advanced Technology of the new line with
respect to equipment design and computerised process controls provided
:
Higher outputs per cm. of die circumference.
Narrower tolerance in circumferential thickness of the film.
Improvement
in film flatness (critical for subsequent high
speed lamination process).
Improvement
in yield tolerances, i.e. weight per unit area
of film.
Roll
winding characteristics and subsequent easy unwinding
of films with "tack" or "very low" coefficient of
friction (hitherto not possible).
Film widths upto 1.5 mts. thereby opening up opportunities
for new applications.

The new line enabled the Company to make
complex film structures such as those required by :
Specialty Laminate Producers
Aluminum Foil laminators using co-polymer based films
for Jelly-Filled-Telecom-Cables.
Lamitube producers (Toothpaste and Facial Creams).
Auto ancillaries for bonding different substrates for
manufacture of Automobile
Hood Liners with adhesive films.
The
Pharmaceutical Industry for lamination to PVC and subsequent
"Blister" formation for packing tablets.
OUR EXPORTS
The
Company commenced exports of films to convertors in the Middle East
in the year 2000. Since then exports have grown at the rate of 50% per
year, to 1200 MT in the year ended 31st March 2003.
To support the growth in exports and to reduce delivery time, the Company
further expanded its Multilayer film capacity by 60% in the year ended
31st March 2001. With this expansion the Company's Multilayer film capacity
grew to 7500 MT per year. The total area of the factory is 7700 sq.
meters. Six blown film lines are housed in the two buildings of area
1700 sq. meters. Total manpower of the organisation is 92.
The Company's capability in developing Multilayer film structures and
to provide technical service to help customers make their laminates
successful in the market place, is unique in the Industry. The Company
has played a dominant role in the growth and development of the Flexible
Packaging Industry in the Country.
