Pharma Packaging and High-Value Products Drive Future Growth Strategy

Commenting on Pharma Packaging plans, Mr J Rana Pratap, Sr. Vice President-Marketing and in charge of Pharma Business division, stated that there is a humongous opportunity in Pharma Packaging including diagnostics, and the company has plans to enter into these high-margin areas, including dosage pens, while also examining ways to enter electronics and semiconductor packaging using its deep knowledge in mold making and robotics. 

While consolidating its position as leader in pails, Q-packs and Thinwall IML products, the company’s vision is to expand into high-value products and widen its product range. 

The company sees particular opportunity in diagnostic packaging and dosage delivery systems, which require precision-molded components. 

Mold-Tek’s expertise in robotics and high-precision mold making positions it well for semiconductor and electronics packaging, where contamination-free handling and static protection are critical.

Operational Resilience and Customer Expansion Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty

Chairman & Managing Director Mr J Lakshmana Rao stated that despite the prevailing war situation, the company achieved a strong start to FY 2026-27, delivering an excellent performance in the first quarter. 

He noted that despite heightened geopolitical uncertainties, the company experienced no material impact on its operations, supply chain, or financial performance, with higher input costs being effectively passed on to customers. 

During the quarter, the company continued to expand its customer base by securing orders from several esteemed and fast-growing companies across key sectors, including Innovative Food, Alphonsa Cashew, Bakerville Specialities, Beejapuri Daily, DS Agrotech, Sam Flour & Spices, SGB Food, and Veg Crop Agro in the food industry. 

In the pharma industry, new clients included Blackgoldust, Pharma Force Lab, Pure Source Nutrition, and Topiox Research Centre.
