Storopack: New location in India

In Pune, India, Storopack is establishing its own location. This move is part of the company strategy to get a foothold in developing markets. The protective packaging specialist already has renowned national and international clients with subsidiaries in India. „The Indian economy is at a turning point. Market participants need to increase their competitiveness in order to keep pace with the huge development. This includes a professional protective packaging solution, which consistently increases the value of the company. Storopack offers the perfect solution for this,“ explains Frank Imkamp, President of Storopack Asia. “Storopack India is being launched at a strategically favourable time.“

On India’s Day of Independence, 15 August 2013, a five-man team began work under the leadership of Dipin Kalra. In the launch phase the company in Pune will initially be offering the AIRplus® and PAPERplus® products. The FOAMplus® products and other system integration services will follow later. On a floorspace of 210 m² there are not only offices, but a workshop for equipment maintenance and repair, as well as a showroom in which key products are presented.

Internet trade and the rapid development of industrial manufacturing offer great market potential. Storopack is working with distributors in order to cover the vast geographical area of the country. The plan is to obtain five distributors for the most important economic regions and the central region of India by the end of 2013. „This move is another milestone in the history of our company. We are learning how to take advantage of the enormous opportunities of these developing economic regions, “confirms Imkamp.
