Uflex Ltd, the Bombay Stock Exchange (UFLEX: 500148) and NSE listed, India's largest flexible packaging company, has grown from strength to strength registering a 16% increase in its consolidated revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012 at Rs. 1250 crore as against Rs. 1078 crore for the same period last year. Whereas the firm's consolidated net profit for the Sept. quarter of 2012 stood same at Rs. 57 crore as during corresponding quarter last year. The higher revenue growth is attributed to new capacity expansion globally and increased uptake of innovative flexible packaging solutions offered by the company across sectors. 

According to Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman and M.D. of UFLEX Ltd, “The higher revenue growth has come on the back of increasing manufacturing capacities across our facilities in Egypt, Mexico, Dubai, Poland and India corresponding to the increasing demand trends where we were quick to offer our products and services. Innovation and expansion are two aspects that Uflex is always eagerly pursuing. Identifying and harnessing the opportunity at the right time has been the key to our strong foothold in the flexible packaging market globally.” 

Uflex's strong manufacturing base in India, Mexico, Dubai, Egypt and Poland caters to global markets spanning USA, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, Russia, CIS countries, South Africa and other African countries, the Middle East and the South Asian Countries.

UFLEX’s agenda of global expansion and consolidation of its position as a truly Indian MNC (Multinational Corporation) is reinforced with its strategy of capacity expansion and adding manufacturing lines for various product categories across facilities in Dubai, Mexico, Egypt, India, Poland & USA – not only to increase proximity to the markets, but also to bring broad portfolio of value added products to its clients at competitive price points.
