1 Emerging Role of in Global Scenario Harish Madan Past-President, Federation of Box Manufacturers of India Director, SnS Containers Pvt. Ltd., Dehradun

2 Historical Perspective 50 Year old industry. Initially Boards were imported from Japan. Over a few Years, 8 10 Automatic Board Making Plants were imported. These Plants are still in operation at various places in India.

3 Fragmentation of the industry. Mushrooming of box units all over India. Manual and semi automatic machines set up. Industry reserved for SSI Sector. Resulted in constraints of technology development.

4 Present Scenario Wave of Globalization sweeping the industry. Many global brands entering India. Demand for high quality boxes of international standards increasing. Consolidation taking place.

5 Technology Development Integrating Manufacturing Processes. Indian Machinery Mfrs takes on the challenge and start making Automatic Plants. 25 to 30 Indigenous Automatic Plants installed in last 10 years B U T.. s p e e d s < 50mtrs/mnt

6 Printing Processes on corrugated transform from screen to offset to Flexo.High Speed Flexo Ceramic Anilox Rolls upto 400dpi. PLC Controlled High speed, Multi Colour Flexo Printing Machines with Slotter, Die Cutter units

The China Factor Enter Chinese Corrugating Lines Speeds > 100mtrs/mnt to 4 5 0 mtrs/mnt!

7 The China Factor Enter Chinese Corrugating Lines Speeds > 100mtrs/mnt to mtrs/mnt!! Converting Machines-Printers, Slotter, Diecutters Machine manufacturers capable of producing almost 300 plants in a year!!

8 Initial resistance to high cost of the Plants gradually being overcome. More and more progressive Corrugators opting for sophisticated Chinese plants. 10 to 12 Chinese plants already installed. Another 10 plants in pipe line.

9 Quality Awareness for the need of Systems to maintain Consistency in Quality for our Customers. Corrugators started implementing Quality Systems and attaining ISO Certification.

10 Modern Quality Systems like ISOs, Six Sigma, 4M, etc., are being put in place, resulting in higher Productivity and Consistency in Quality. Streamlined Shop Floors. Material Handling Systems are being put to use.

11 Future Outlook Educated and enlightened entrepreneurs entering the industry. Indian Industry ready for a quantum leap in terms of Quality, Productivity and Technology. Box making industry will endeavor to be at par with international standards.

12 Benefits Improved Management Practices. Better Quality Boxes with good graphics > Value Add Capability to deliver large volumes at short lead time.

13 Future Outlook On the machinery side, technology upgradation is imperative, to match the speeds and sophistication of Chinese machines. Some alliances between Indian and Chinese/ Taiwanese machinery manufacturers are on the anvil.

14 Constraints Quality and fluctuating prices of Kraft Paper. High Import duty. Excise Duty Structure.

15 Efforts by F C B M FCBM appealing to concerned authorities to remove constraints.

16 Box continues to be the most preferred mode of because of its versatility, strength, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. As shipping container or secondary package the box has few rivals.

17 Emerging as a Primary Pack, POP, Pallet, etc. Box is also being effectively used as a marketing tool. Consumer friendly packages.

are making corrugated boxes the preferred choice for packing fresh

18 Innovative Designs Value Engineering for Cost Innovations. Improved Graphics, great Value Addition Eco-friendly material fitments are making corrugated boxes the preferred choice for packing fresh fruits, vegetables, electrical, electronic equipments and a host of other applications.

19 Customer sees better value-addition in a corrugated box

20 Future Challenges Higher Strength Lesser Weight Better Graphics Lower Tolerances

21 Future Challenges Shorter lead times JIT Deliveries Quality Certifications Incorporation of Bar Codes, RFID as part of Box
