While UFlex and ITC bagged 13 and 11 IFCA Star awards respectively, Constantia and GLS won seven and Huhtamaki India bagged five awards.
R Chandrasekhar, president of IFCA welcomed the delegates and delivered the opening address. He said, "Packaging industry is at crossroads. Response to IFCA awards has been 25% better than previous editions. The pandemic did not impact the process of innovation and the need to excel to delight customers."
"The packaging industry in India is an interesting amalgam of large global players, large local Indian companies, few medium scale enterprises and a long tail of small and micro enterprises," added Chandrasekhar.
