Canpac managing director Nilesh Todi said: “We have emerged as a fast-growing packaging player in the country, with a key focus on folding carton and corrugated boxes.

“This growth capital infusion and partnership with a seasoned investor like JM Financial Private Equity will help us accelerate our current expansion plans and expand our market share.”

JM Financial PE and Equity AIFs managing director and CEO Darius Pandole said: “Increased consumption of packaged goods, growth in organised retail and e-commerce and increasing premiumisation will drive growth for organised packaging players. Canpac is well-positioned to capture this growth spectrum.

“With its in-house manufacturing facilities and research and development, Canpac offers superior quality products to its customer base in a timely manner, thus emerging as a one-stop packaging solutions provider for its customers.

“The fund infusion will help the company scale up its business and expand its market share.”
