INX International Invests In DetraPel
Engineered Better Anilox Sleeves and Rollers Crafted Specifically For Your Budget, Your Press, Your Job.
INX International Ink Co. has completed an in- vestment in DetraPel, a materials company that manufactures sustainable coatings. This represents the fourth deal closed since the $50M INX Venture Capital investment program was established in 2022. DetraPel is the parent company of the consumer division ProofPlus, and Impermea Materials, its re- cently rebranded industrial arm. Impermea Materi- als is a materials company that provides solutions to drive the next generation of PFAS and plastic-free innovation. Substrate Varieties The solutions include Paper and Paperboard Pack- aging, which offer a variety of substrate technolo- gies such as oil and grease resistance (OGR), mois- ture vapor transmission (MTVR) barriers, adhesives, release coatings and more. These water-based, plas- tic alternatives are FDA compliant (A-H), heat seal- able, and preserve the flexibility and foldability of the substrate. The DetraPel investment focuses on paper and fiber-based packaging and complements Sakata INX’s Ecostage GB-XA oxygen barrier coatings, an offering for films introduced to the market earlier this year. GLS Films Adds Bobst Press, Laminator Since its founding more than two decades ago by Sandeep Goyal and Rajesh Goyal, GLS Films Indus- tries has reportedly grown to become one of In- dia’s largest flexible packaging companies. It caters to a host of industry segments, including food and drinks, FMCG, pharmaceutical, industrial, and agri- culture. The company invested in its first Bobst machine in 2012, the RS 888. Later, the company added the Nova RS 5002, which was installed in 2019. In 2022, it went on to add a Vision RS 5003 press and will soon will be receiving the fourth Vision RS 5003, which has a speed of 400 meters per minute and is suitable for water-based and solvent-based ink. GLS Films has decided to add a second Nova D 800 laminator with flexo trolley. The machine reportedly enables high-speed coat- ing of solvent-based adhesives with high solid con- tent, allowing for 20 percent less adhesive usage with high solid and low coating weight.
