Rakesh Sodhi, president, IPAMA, said, “The packaging sector in India is the 5th largest in its economy and one of the highest growing sectors in the country. We are making endeavors to promote this sector at different platforms so that the industry can get further momentum. We are also making efforts to increase the exports of packaging machinery and related products to different destinations in the global market. We are happy to say that the industry has successfully come out of the grip of COVID-19. With the legacy of Printpack India, IPAMA will be able to serve the packaging industry.”
IPAMA is in the process of forming an advisory committee to rope in important industry players who can guide and give their valuable contributions in implementing the project. Some of the important and prominent industry players have already been approached for this. Within a couple of months, the advisory committee will be in a position to support, IPAMA shared.
IPAMA, since its inception in 1988, has been promoting the printing and packaging industry on different platforms, including organizing the biennial Printpack India – the most prominent exhibition for the printing industry in India. IPAMA has also been providing necessary inputs relating to the industry to various Government organizations, including the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Bureau of Indian Standards, CII, FICCI, PHD, EEPC etc. IPAMA is also working in tandem with other Associations/Federations for addressing the grievances of the industry and its member companies.
