17 Feb 2011 Evaluate

Piramal Glass (PGL), a leading glass container manufacturer will invest Rs 100 crore on capacity expansion at its Jambusar unit in Gujarat. PGL plans to add 160 tonne per day (TPD) capacity at its Jambusar plant through a greenfield project, which is likely to be completed by FY12.

The firm will focus on high margin cosmetic and perfumery segment (C&P) and has decided to increase its production in the segment as the business contributed around 32% to the total sales in Q3 FY11. Further, the company has proposed to transfer 75 tonne of its current capacity in the pharmaceutical segment to the C&P business. It also plans to streamline its global operations in the countries like USA and Sri Lanka.

Accordingly, PGL has proposed to bring down its six pharmaceutical production lines to four by the end of this fiscal in the US, where the company will be concentrating only on specialty food and beverage bottles. The company expects to clock a 26% growth in its C&P business and envisages to post 16% growth in its total sales between FY11 and FY13.crackcrack
