Aim Corporation charts growth course with technology and tenacity

Gujarat-based AIM Group of Companies, founded in 2016, has rapidly evolved from a promising startup into a major contender in India’s dynamic label and packaging sector. This remarkable journey is a testament to the company's strategic vision, which is anchored in a continuous investment in technology and a business philosophy built on quality, ethics, trust, customer satisfaction, and swift, decisive action.

The company operates a ten-colour flexo press and has recently fortified its digital capabilities with the acquisition of a Konica Minolta AccurioLabel 400 machine. Further strengthening its robust equipment portfolio, Aim is planning for a giant expansion with a new factory setup with the most advanced machines. This powerful suite of machinery enables the company to function as a one-stop solution for its more than 900 customers nationwide, adeptly managing both short-run and high-volume long-run projects.

Beyond its foundational label business, Aim has diversified its offerings to provide end-to-end solutions. The company's unique position as a manufacturer of both labels and machinery sets it apart within the industry. Since 2016, Aim has also made a significant entry into the PET preform market, now boasting a substantial monthly capacity of 150 tonnes of preforms and more than 1.9 crore cap closures. These closures are produced on a specialised compression molding machine, a rarity in the Indian market. This fusion of expertise in both label production and application cements Aim’s reputation as a comprehensive and indispensable partner for its clients.

The success of Aim Corporation is a direct reflection of the founders' determination and foresight. Navdeep Lakkad, the managing director and CEO, has been a driving force behind the company's growth. His journey, from an aspiring civil servant to a successful entrepreneur alongside his founder, Ravi Vadodariya, highlights his adaptability and resilience. His personal philosophy of "making a decision within ten minutes, otherwise it isn’t a decision" permeates the company’s agile and responsive culture. Together, Lakkad and Vadodariya are focused on solving complex industry challenges, a commitment embodied in their powerful brand promise: "If it works, it's yours; if it doesn't, it's mine." This guarantee underscores their unwavering confidence and dedication to their customers.

Aim’s operational heart is its manufacturing facility on NH 48, Surat, which opened in 2016 and now handles a significant 70% of the company’s workload. The company's strategic location in Surat, Gujarat, a state renowned for its industry-friendly business environment, enables it to supply its large customer base across India efficiently. Looking ahead, Aim has ambitious plans to expand into new product categories such as pouches, boxes, and bottles. Beyond commercial growth, the company is deeply committed to social responsibility, with a long-term vision to provide employment and sustain 10,000 households, reflecting a mission that extends far beyond just the financial bottom line.
