At Anuga FoodTec and PackEx India held in Mumbai last month, Syntegon presented versatile systems for the packaging of bakery products and low-density snacks (LDS) – from distribution to primary packaging.
Two solutions were displayed for the first time at an Indian trade show. With the SVL 2310 Twin, Syntegon highlights its expertise in the vertical bagging of potato chips, while the Pack 301 LS with Smart Duplex Measuring Loader (SDML) ensures horizontal flow wrapping of biscuits, sandwich-style biscuits, cookies, and crackers. The well-established Pack 201 HS horizontal flow wrapper was also on show.
Speaking to Packaging South Asia during the expo, Nilesh Vedak, managing director of Syntegon Technology India, highlighted the company’s focus on three core principles that drive its vision for the packaging industry — seamless processes, innovation, and sustainability.
Vedak said Syntegon ensures that every solution it provides to customers is seamless. He explained that customers demand comprehensive system solutions, and Syntegon strives to deliver these through its equipment, processes, and solutions.
Vedak said innovation is a core competence of Syntegon but it has to add value — not only to capital expenditure (CapEx) but also to operational expenditure (OpEx) in the long term. Syntegon is focused on pushing forward specific innovations that offer customers new opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs, he added.
The third pillar of Syntegon is sustainability, which is increasingly critical in the global marketplace. The company emphasizes reducing waste, both in terms of the materials used and the processes employed in customer operations.
Talking about the technologies at display, Vedak said these products embody the company’s commitment to seamless processes, innovation, and sustainability. The response from customers has been positive, with both large and small players expressing interest in the company’s technology.
Strong portfolio growth in India
Looking ahead, Syntegon is optimistic about the growth of the packaging industry in India, particularly in the snacks and bakery sectors. Vedak said the industry is expected to grow by 6-7% annually, driven by India’s position as a major consumer market and increasing recognition of the importance of high-quality packaging in preserving and presenting food products.
Syntegon has adopted a ‘Grow India’ strategy, reflecting its belief in the long-term potential of the Indian market. The company plans to bring new technology to India, including high-speed packaging solutions (HPP) that are already popular in Europe and the US.
