Baddi-based BP Lipeds has installed a Bobst Ambition 106 A2 folder-gluer. This is BP Lipeds’ second folder-gluer from Bobst – the first one, an Ambition 76A-1, being installed in 2009. This also takes the total number of Bobst postpress equipment at the plant to four. The other Bobst machines at the plant are two pre-owned die-cutters. The installation marks Bobst’s first Ambition A2 folder gluer in India.

Speaking about his decision for choosing the Bobst Ambition 106 A2 folder-gluer, Deepanshu Bhambari of BP Lipeds said, “We have been using Bobst machines since last 15 years. We already have a Bobst Ambition folder-gluer running at our plant. We were quite happy with the performance and durability of the existing folder-gluer and hence when we thought of investing in another folder-gluer, Bobst was our first preference.”

A family-owned business, BP Lipeds was established by Harish Bhambari, Hament Bhambari and Sunil Bhambari in 1980s. The main business of the company is offset packaging such as monocartons, E-flute cartons, metpet cartons/metalized cartons/shimmer cartons. In addition, BP Lipeds’ sister concern company – Chandigarh-based Bhambari Printers – prints product catalogs, brochures, leaflets, danglers, streamers and books.

The company converts around 50-tonnes of paper in its Chandigarh plant and around 300-tonnes of board per month in Baddi to produce mono cartons, metalized cartons and fluted cartons. The corrugation facility consumes around 50 to 80-tonnes of kraft paper per month. Corrugation contributes to around 30% of BP Lipeds’ total business, shared Bhambari.

Bhambari added that although BP Lipeds is currently converting 4 lac lock bottom cartons each day using the new folder-gluer, the volume will rise significantly once the company starts running the folder-gluer in its full capacity. At present, the company converts around 8 to 10 lac cartons per day.

Recently, BP Lipeds also added a pre-owned 6-color Heidelberg CD 102 press with online coater and an interdeck LED UV for metalized printing. “While increasing our printing capacity, strengthening our post-press has also become equally necessary to convert at the same speed,” said Bhambari. The company also added a semi-automatic rigid box manufacturing machine recently.

Some of the main clients of BP Lipeds are Walmart India, Flipkart, Luminous, VVF, Bajaj Corp, Emami, VLCC, Vanesa Cosmetics, Kelyn Cosmetics, Weikfield, Bagarys, Bosch, Mahle, Elofic, Johnson & Johnson Medicals, Fresenius Kabi Oncology, Emcure, and Baidhyanath.
