At the recently concluded SinoCorrugated-IndiaCorr Expo in Greater Noida, India, from 5 to 7 September 2019, BHS Corrugated promoted its corrugation machines. BHS Corrugated is a global market leader for corrugators with 2,200 employees, in more than 20 countries, with a market share of around 55%. In 2018, BHS Corrugated generated a record turnover of 575 million euros.
BHS started its operations in India in 2009. “When we came to India 10 years ago, the Indian market was not prepared for us because we were considered too expensive, having too much automation in our machines. So it took us some time, rather it took us five years to sell our first machine. We sold our first machine in India in 2014 to Japan’s biggest box maker Oji which set up a new corrugation plant in Neemrana. In last three years, we have sold as many as ten machines in India till now. Some of our customers are Horizon Group, Box and Board in Hosur, Vijayanand Paper Mill in Hyderabad, Vital Paper Products in Sri City and Adani Wilmar. We are happy that now the Indian corrugated market is also going towards automation and preferring global leader like BHS for their requirements,” said Bijendra Sharma, managing director, BHS Corrugated India.
“BHS Corrugated has been consistently strong across the entire product and service range – from development and production, to installation and maintenance,” said Sharma. “We have a strong sales and service team wherever our customers are. At present we have our offices in Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Greater Noida and Bangalore. We always strive hard is to help our clients grow. Whenever we sell our machines to a customer, it becomes our reference plant for our prospective customers.”
To meet the requirements of its customers as precisely as possible and to be always state-of-the-art, BHS Corrugated reinvests close to 5% of its turnover in research and development.
