Duravant to highlight Mespack’s flexible packaging solutions at Interpack

Duravant will be showcasing its comprehensive portfolio, including Mespack’s advanced flexible packaging solutions, Key Technology’s intelligent sorting systems, and Foodmate’s protein deboning and cut-up solutions, along with several other offerings. The focus will be on high-performance, sustainable, and application-driven systems.

The company is excited for a couple of its product launches. Anthony D’Souza, managing director, Duravant India told WhatPackaging?, “These innovations are set to redefine the way the industry approaches processing and packaging.”

While Duravant continues to expand its footprint across key markets, over the past year, it has strengthened its portfolio with the addition of Matthews Automation (intralogistics and warehouse automation) and Pattyn (end-of-line packaging and automation solutions). At the same time, the launch of direct operations in India marks a significant step in expanding its global footprint.

Duravant’s solutions cater to a range of industries including food, beverage, personal care, pharma, chemicals, agriculture, poultry, meat, seafood, as well as parcel, distribution, and eCommerce. With its expanded capabilities, it is now able to support customers across the entire value chain—from processing to packaging and end-of-line automation.

Talking about the market, D’Souza said, “India is seeing high cost competition with lesser adoption quotients for adapting to sustainable technologies and automations. This affects the penetration of high efficiency equipment that supports the growth rates of India, which portrays a growth surplus in agro and protein raw materials and aggressive export potentials.”

However, D’Souza is optimistic that India’s packaging industry is witnessing a sustained growth with the market estimated at over USD 75–80-billion and expanding at a CAGR of 10–12%. He added, “This momentum is being driven by rising consumption in eCommerce, and increasing demand from food, personal care, and pharmaceutical sectors. Flexible packaging continues to lead, accounting for nearly 60–65% of the market, supported by its cost efficiency and versatility.”

At Interpack, Duravant expects to see a focus on smart manufacturing, with increased adoption of AI, robotics, and data-driven solutions, along with innovations in recyclable materials, monomaterials, and fiber-based packaging. Interpack becomes particularly significant for Duravant since all 20 of its brands can come together under one roof, right from processing to packaging and automation.
