UPM Raflatac opens slitting and distribution terminal in India

UPM Raflatac, a global supplier of innovative and sustainable self-adhesive paper and film products, has opened a new slitting and distribution terminal in Mumbai, India.

The new facility further improves service and quality to UPM Raflatac’s customers and strengthens the relationships in the region.

‘Our talented team has created a great workplace for our employees, a great facility to serve our customers and a great platform for growth. With the new modern facility, we can stock more material locally which will optimize lead times, enhance service, and help meet the diverse and dynamic needs of our customers,’ said Alan Wright, senior vice president for EMEIA region at UPM Raflatac.

The new Mumbai terminal, operational since February, will soon see the addition of another slitting machine. Its strategic central location extends UPM Raflatac’s reach across the country.

‘The new terminal improves our competitiveness and thus better positions UPM Raflatac as one of the leading label suppliers in India,’ added Suresh Valecha, country manager for India at UPM Raflatac.

With the new Mumbai terminal opening, UPM Raflatac’s existing terminal in Bangalore, India, will be closed by the end of March 2024.
