And we can only achieve this with the continu- ous involvement of our partners,” Mr Saraogi explained. “The ubiquitous trend towards small packaging sizes means that total output is generally declining, which ultimately also has an effect on our pricing. The challenge is to proactively involve the customers in the situation from an early stage, thus allowing for agreements to be made on pricing which are based on long- term, close business relationships and mutual reliability.” As well as securing its existing markets, Chemco has expanded into new areas, such as shrink film for beverages, for example. It is also planning expansions in the field of flexible packaging, and new projects and developments in the field of mul- tilayer preforms are also under way. The company has also begun manu- facturing the preforms for Coca-Cola’s 250ml popular products for the first time and it is playing an active role when it comes to the issue of recy- cling. “As one of the co-founders of PACE (PET Packaging Association for Clean Environment), we are in constant contact with the authorities in order to implement recycling more strongly across the market. Compared with just a few years ago, this issue is being given much higher priority by the authorities”, said Mr Saraogi. www.chemcogroup.com www.paceindia.org Unique technologies, innovative solutions, comprehensive technical support, high expertise in all kinds of plastics applications.
