Lohia Corp at PlastIndia: India’s polymer future

Lohia Corp, a powerhouse in India’s raffia and woven plastic bag manufacturing, unveiled its new strategic vision at PlastIndia 2026, pivoting its focus from the venerable physics of polymer processing to the real-time calculus of data science. 

While honouring its legacy as the functional backbone of heavy-duty plastic applications, Lohia bolstered its display with monofilament and strapping extrusion solutions. These systems are engineered to help domestic producers dramatically elevate product performance, quality, and global application reach, ensuring the woven plastic sector meets the demanding specifications required for "leading with precision and excellence."

The more profound shift, however, is encapsulated in the company’s Digital Innovation Centre. Lohia’s leaders assert that genuine industrial progress is no longer solely a function of installing advanced hardware. It is, instead, a problem of information flow: how fragmented data can be forged into a unified, real-time view of the production line. This initiative is designed to transition operations away from manual checks and guesswork to systems that operate purely on actionable insight.

This transformation reframes the manufacturer's role entirely. By integrating machine intelligence, manufacturers can shift from perpetually reacting to problems after they occur to actively managing and optimising outcomes, shift by shift. Lohia Corp summarises this operative philosophy as: “When intelligence connects the factory, efficiency follows.”

For an industrial giant rooted in the old economy, this commitment to smart manufacturing is not just a technological upgrade, but a re-architecture of its enduring mission, signalling scalable growth for the next generation of woven plastic applications and shaping India’s industrial future.
