LSKB Aluminium Foils hosts global aluminium foil leaders at Sonipat facility

LSKB Aluminium Foils and its backward integration partner Jupiter Aluminium Industries (JUPALCO), both part of the Jupiter Group, hosted senior global leaders from the Global Aluminium Foil Roller Initiative (GLAFRI) at their manufacturing facility in Sonipat, alongside an exclusive industry dinner, on the sidelines of the Global Aluminium Foil Roller Conference (GLAFCO).

The delegation comprised more than 50 senior decision-makers from across the global aluminium foil value chain, who were in India to attend GLAFCO, the industry’s key international forum focused on market outlook, technology development, sustainability and future demand across packaging and advanced applications.

During the visit, delegates toured LSKB Aluminium Foils’ Sonipat facility, gaining insights into its aluminium foil production lines and large-scale manufacturing capabilities serving pharmaceutical, FMCG and packaging markets. The visit also showcased JUPALCO’s highly automated flat-rolled aluminium operations, including continuous casting lines of up to 2.2 metres — among the widest in India — with an annual aluminium foil stock production capacity of up to 1,20,000-tonnes.

Kunal Bajaj, director, LSKB Aluminium Foils, said: “The visit by GLAFRI members reflects the growing confidence global industry leaders have in India’s manufacturing capabilities. With large-scale capacity, advanced technology and strong backward integration, Indian aluminium foil manufacturers are well positioned to serve global markets competitively. We also acknowledge the continuous support from the Indian government, which has been pivotal in strengthening manufacturing ecosystems and enabling industry competitiveness.”

Lakshay Singhal, director, LSKB Aluminium Foils, added: “This interaction underscores how integrated manufacturing models under the Make-in-India vision are enabling Indian companies to build resilient supply chains and deliver world-class aluminium foil solutions from India to the world. With evolving global trade frameworks, such as recent developments in India–EU trade cooperation, opportunities for deeper market integration and exports are poised to grow further.”

According to the company, the integrated LSKB–JUPALCO manufacturing ecosystem demonstrated India’s growing ability to deliver scale, consistency and vertical integration entirely through domestic manufacturing — a capability that resonated with global delegates assessing long-term sourcing strategies and supply chain resilience.

The visit also provided a platform for discussions around the aluminium foil industry outlook, including the increasing role of foil in packaging, evolving customer requirements, and the gradual alignment of Indian manufacturing practices with European guidelines, particularly in sustainability, safety and material performance.

An exclusive dinner hosted by LSKB Aluminium Foils and JUPALCO offered an informal setting for further dialogue on global trends, regional growth opportunities and the role of integrated producers in supporting the next phase of growth for the aluminium foil industry.
