The Coster Group has announced the start-up of its new production plant to be located in Neemrana, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The 60,000-square-foot facility will be used for the assembly of perfume pumps, aerosol pumps and aerosol valves.

The Italian company has invested a total of 10 million euros in both the new plant and related machinery, which will help to significantly increase capacity to serve the growing and demanding Indian market. In addition, Coster has inaugurated India’s first aerosol valve production operation at the new site, marking an important milestone for the emerging local market.

In addition, the project complies with cosmetics GMP regulations and the quality standard of the Coster group. Pumps and valves are manufactured with fully automated equipment provided by Coster Robotics, Coster’s unit dedicated to assembly technologies. It has the added advantage that the Neemrana plant is located about 100 km from New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and is one of the best industrial zones in the Delhi region.

“India is a strategic growth market for Coster and we want to be the supplier of choice for the many Indian companies that demand dispensing solutions,” details Deepak Agrawal, managing director of Coster India.

Coster’s growth plan is based on sustainability and innovation, with the main ambition to offer the market sustainable dispenser packaging solutions as it is the only global supplier of both aerosol packaging components and filling machinery.
