PrintWeek Awards 2019: ITC’s Packaging and Printing Division (Chennai) wins Printing Company of the Year

The 94-year-old packaging powerhouse began its journey in Munger, Bihar to cater to its tobacco packaging requirement. It has been at the forefront of technology investments and its factories in Chennai and Haridwar are certified with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001.

According to JK Doshi & Co, our official auditor, with a 9.42% increase in net worth as a percentage of sale, the highest in the category by a considerable margin, the company deserved the top honours. ITC Packaging and Printing Division also registered a superior increase in current ratio of 0.31%.

ITC Packaging and Printing Division under R Senguttuvan, its chief executive, has focused on the adoption of initiatives such as lean methodology, including 5S; quick changeovers and reduction of waste. The company’s cross-functional Product Introduction Process team has been an integral part of its success story with several innovations in design.

“ITC Packaging and Printing Division will continue to track customer needs and future market opportunities and invest ahead of the curve. We will also engage in new product development, deploy cutting-edge technology, focus on operational efficiencies and provide innovations through science-based R&D for future growth. In an increasingly environment-conscious world, another area of focus will be sustainable and recyclable solutions in packaging,” says Senguttuvan.
