Boix Machinery India’s MBL-3P box-forming machine

MBL-3P machine produces up to 2,000 boxes per hour

At the recent Anuga FoodTec 2024 in Mumbai, Pune-based Boix Machinery India, a subsidiary of Boix Machinery Spain, showcased its MBL-3P corrugated box-forming machine. This specialized end-of-the-line packaging solution is designed exclusively for forming bliss boxes and can operate at six different speeds, producing up to 2,000 boxes per hour.

“We are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of machines for forming corrugated trays and boxes. The MBL-3P can handle both 3-ply and 5-ply boards,” said Anmol Terkar, national sales manager at Boix Machinery India.

The MBL-3P can be integrated directly into an existing packaging line or used as an offline solution. Terkar said while the machine is primarily utilized in the FMCG sector, it is suitable for the food and beverage industries and various industrial applications. “This machine is particularly useful in scenarios where box sizes are consistent, and production volumes are high,” he added.

Regarding Boix’s presence in India, Terkar said that the company currently has over 100 installations across the country. All Boix machines are manufactured in Spain, with Boix Machinery India handling sales, service, and marketing within the region.

Commenting on the Anuga FoodTec expo, he said the footfall was good and the company met a lot of potential customers.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

We are mid-way through 2024, and India’s real GDP growth for FY 24-25 will exceed 6.3%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and likely surpass it by at least 2.5% according to our research company www.ippstar.org .

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India has increased significantly over the past four years. We expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
