Sarigam | 8th October 2020 | The Pulp and Paper Times: 

The pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected every aspect of life globally. This has brought along several changes in market conditions. Paper sales plunging as demand from packaging, education, corporate, and the print media has come to naught. Paper Mills are still working on new product development and diverting their production according to market demand.

Amid the pandemic crisis and plummeted demand, Jani Sales recently started its new paper mill with high-end infrastructure. "We are very pleased to do a backward integration of our business. With four decades of trading experience in the paper and paper board industry, we have successfully ventured into paper manufacturing by starting the 100 TPD plant in June at Sarigam, Gujarat, India," Said Mr. Saifee Jani, Chairman, Jani Sales Pvt. Ltd.

Jani Sales has set up a 100 TPD tissue, MG Poster, and Machine-Glazed Kraft mill in the western region. "After analyzing the present market condition and the export experience we initially decided to venture into the Kraft paper production. We are manufacturing 80 TPD kraft paper of 20 to 80 GSM under 18 to 25 BF range which is suitable for various application like paper bag, décor industries, and corrugation segment,"

The new paper mill has 4.2 meters finished deckle of the machine with 850 m/min speed. Recycled fibre is the raw material for Kraft Paper.

"We will start manufacturing white (Tissue) and MG poster paper from November onwards as there is technical work going on in the pulp mill section," Mr. Jani informed.

On the present market condition, Mr. Jani says that the sign of recovery is being visible now, and we have good export order in hand. Currently, we are exporting 30 percent of production to overseas destinations.

"We have obtained the food-grade certification and also applied for an FSC certificate," He said.

The tissue segment has the highest ever growth in the paper sector, growing awareness about hygiene creating a good scope for Tissue consumption in India. “We always wanted to make a remarkable entry in paper manufacturing and decided to come in the market with niche products. After analyzing the present market condition and the export experience we decided to enter the market with the MG grades segment, where we see a good scope of future considering the single-use plastic ban and major changes in awareness related to environmental issues, our focus would be to cater these kinds of applications to our best” Mr. Saifee added.

The new unit will produce Tissue, MG Poster, and MG Kraft paper on a single machine with 17 to 85 GSM range. “We are planning to manufacture all lower GSM paper on this specialty machine. Our range of products will consist of Kitchen Towel, Napkins, and Toilet Tissue-based on recycling waste paper and virgin pulp both,” Mr. Saifee Jani said.
