Gujarat-based Ruparel Foods (RFPL), part of Ruparel Group of Industries, recently invested in an Accuriolabel 230 at its packaging plant. A premier packer, manufacturer, and exporter of private-label peanut butter to many countries, Ruparel Foods has been producing peanut butter since 2007. The Ruparel Group of Industries also consists of Ruparel Plastics, which manufactures PP and HDPE 3-strand ropes, and Ruparel Nets, which makes HDPE fishing nets.
Ruparel Foods hopes to capitalize on the peanut butter market in the export regions. The company’s managing director Vishal Ruparel says RFPL is the largest manufacturer and exporter of peanut butter and paste from India in different variants and flavors. “We are the winners of the Peanut Butter award in the highest exports category, awarded by the Indian Oilseeds & Produce Export Promotion Council (IOPEPC) for the last four consecutive years.”
The company utilizes roasted peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oils (soya bean or palm), and salt for a majority of its production, which is available in a wide variety — creamy, crunchy, and natural creamy range with flavors such as chocolate, honey, cinnamon, banana, chili, and sugar-free peanut butter. Ruparel Foods’ production facility consists of fully automatic machinery for cleaning, sorting, roasting, mixing, grinding, and filling peanuts into peanut butter and peanut paste without human interference.
RFPL is located in Mahuva in Bhavnagar district of Gujarat. Ruparel adds, “India is among the largest producers of peanuts since 2011. It produces the best species of peanuts in the world. Gujarat produces 75% of the peanuts grown in India. RFPL doesn’t have to go far from the factory to procure peanuts. The company is a BRC and HACCP-certified food manufacturing factory with machinery imported from North America and Europe.
The facility is equipped with a laboratory for the testing of Aflatoxin and Salmonella, and a spectrophotometer to match colors of the peanut butter and paste. It exports to around 25 countries — USA, Canada, Panama, Venezuela, Mexico, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Libya, South Africa, Jordan, Iraq, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Fiji.
The AccurioLabel 230 is a digital label printing system that offers enhanced productivity, job flexibility, operability, and excellent image quality at an affordable cost.“A printing system that offers enhanced productivity, job flexibility, operability, and enhanced image quality was our requirement and that is why we installed this technology,” he said.
The company plans to add more lines of manufacturing processed food related to bread spreads, cooking spreads, cooking ingredients, and other nut-based spreads and snacks. It participates in a majority of the food processing trade fairs such as Anuga Food Tech International, Sial Paris, ThaiFlex, IFE International Food and Drink event, and more.
