Pankaj Shah, the co-director of Michelman India, said, “We work towards modifying the various characteristic of the substrate according to the end application. For example, we modify a non-sealable material to sealable or make the products sealable at a lower temperature, to make the substrate work on high-speed machines.”
 
Shah added, “All the products offered by us are water-based and hence, environmental-friendly, which are also flame- and hazard-resistant. We aim to provide a great value proposition for our customers.”
 
Michelman’s laboratory has been equipped with several industry accepted product testing capabilities for packaging, printing, and coating applications and according to Shah, the growing printing and packaging sector is the company’s immediate focus. 
 
Speaking about the industry trends, Shah said, “There is a huge scope in packaging with different packaging materials. The flexible packaging industry is doing extremely well and will grow in future.”
