Vishakha was founded in 2001 and is a specialist in multi-layer packaging. The company produces five-, seven- and nine-layer co-extruded film at its plant in Vadsar, Gujarat. It supplies its products to a number of markets including food packaging (for products such as milk, edible oil and sauces) and non-food (including electronic components and personal care products).


Product lines:


The company’s films are used in a variety of products. One example is its VishVacu range of barrier pouches for vacuum packaging. Others include: VishForm (clear formable film); VishLami (a range of printed, laminated film); VishBarr (barrier films for VFFS applications); VishTop (for tray lidding); and VishPE (PE shrink wrap films). It also has a range of ziplock pouches sold under the Zipfresh brand. Products from its sister companies include drip irrigation hoses and EVA backsheets for solar modules.


Factory location:


The company’s facility in Vadsar is equipped with a wide range of production equipment – including co-extrusion, printing, lamination and pouch making. Here, it produces a variety of PA- and EVOH-based barrier films. Vishakha recently installed an AquaFrost water-quenched blown film line from Brampton Engineering – the first in India to do so. The company says the new line – which adds to several previous Brampton installations – will help it to improve film clarity and thermoformability, balance orientation and increase processing versatility with fewer resins. In addition, the company uses ERP software from SAP.
