Germany-based packaging machine specialist Oystar is to expand its facilities for its subsidiary group Hassia Packaging Pvt. Ltd., with completion of the move planned for 2011.
Hassia Packaging is located in Pune, India, and the new building will serve to double its capacity for management and production in India to a space of 4,033 square meters. “With this increase in capacity we will enhance our manufacturing expertise in India,” explains Christian Korte, President of the business unit Dairy at Oystar. “In doing so we are also ensuring further successful growth on the Asian markets.” The current facility holds seventy staff, with approximately thirty more joining them once the new site is completed.
Hassia Packaging provide the food and chemical industries with filling and sealing machines for preformed cups as well as plants with volumetric and load filling systems for filling products into pouches and bags, glass, cups and cans. The filling ranges are between 25 g and 50 kg.
