Wild’s extensive portfolio includes juice drinks with fruit content of up to 35%. In addition to classics like mango, guava and lychee the company offers more unusual flavours, such as red fruits. It has several added-value blends in its portfo- lio, which have been developed in response to the growing number of consumers who are interested in a healthy diet. An example on show at drink technology India was a range of juice drinks with added magnesium; the concept is also avail- able in high-juice form. Also in the non-alcoholic segment, the company presented a range of malt products with unusual combinations, such as apple or peach. Energy juices are quite new to the Indian market. Wild’s offer to this segment includes classic energy drinks and novel combinations, such as energy and juice or energy and dark malt. It is responding to the increasing demand for beer in the Indian market by steadily expanding its range of beer- mix drinks. The company says that new “cloudy” options with fruit juices offer these beverages a novel flavour profile and the opportunity for manufacturers to reach additional target groups. www.wildflavors.com Manjushree Technopack releases unaudited FY15 Q2 results PET bottle and preform manufacturer Manjushree Technopack Ltd’s unaudited financial results for the quar- ter ended September 30, 2014 showed a 30% dip in Profit Before Tax (PBT) and 34% fall in Profit After Tax (PAT). Revenue for the period amounted to Rs. 1047.7 million as against Rs. 832.9 million in FY14 Q2. Fully diluted EPS for the quarter was Rs. 1.27 (Q2 2013: Rs.1.92). Manjushree’s board met and adopted the unaudited financial results on October 27, 2014, after drink technol- ogy India. Mr Vimal Kedia, Managing Director, said, “This quarter has seen steady growth in net sales. Increased mate- rial cost and expenses have led to a drop in the bot- tom-line. However, with continued demand from FMCG and beverage industries for PET packaging and our increased exposure to new markets such as liquor, dairy and pharma, we expect to do better in the future”. The company expects that profits will continue to be under pressure from rising costs. Efforts will be made to arrest the rise in expenses to reduce their impact in the coming quarters. Manjushree works with leading brands including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Bisleri, Cadburys, Unilever, GSK and P&G, as well as many others. The company currently has a capacity of 80,000 MTA; the preform plant com- missioned at Bidadi is now completely functional and is operating at full capacity. www.manjushreeindia.com w w w . f e i p l a s t i c . c o m . b r Organization and Promotion: Institutional Support: facebook.com/feiplastic IN THE ESSENTIAL FAIR TO MARKET OF THE PLASTIC.
