Clean room facility for food and pharmaceutical grade FIBC packaging

11-May-16

Emmb Industries Limited (earlier Emmbi Polyarns Ltd), plans to set up a positive pressure integrated clean room facility for manufacturing of food and pharmaceutical grade FIBC (flexible intermediate bulk containers) packaging material at Silvassa, as per Business Standard. The facility, to be set up at an investment of Rs 10 crore, will take 10-12 months to complete and start production. Emmbi will fund the project, which will be constructed on the land already available with the company, through internal accruals and debt from the banks. With the new facility, Emmbi aims to tap the exports market, especially the developed countries such as the US. "This facility will help the company to produce the food & pharma grade products for the export market. This will increase the value addition of the products, especially in the US as the new US FDA guidelines recommends the use of food grade material for packaging for the entire value chain of food and pharmaceuticals,” said Emmbi Industries in a press release.
