Toyo Ink India to Boost Liquid Ink Production Capacity by 1.5 Times

Toyo Ink India Pvt. Ltd., a member of Japan’s artience Group, has announced plans to expand liquid ink production at its Gujarat Plant, in western India, to meet burgeoning demand from the country’s packaging market. The new facility, which is scheduled to be operational in 2028, is expected to boost the company’s total production capacity by approximately one-and-a-half times.

India, the world’s most populous country, is projected to see continued growth in its packaging market due to factors such as an expanding middle class and changing dietary habits. This growth is expected to fuel increased demand for liquid packaging inks, a key factor behind the company’s strategic move.

“The decision to expand production capacity comes at a time when our Gujarat plant is nearing full capacity amid India’s surging demand,” explains Shekhar Barua, head of the liquid ink and plastic colorant business units at Toyo Ink India. “This expansion marks a pivotal step in our journey to lead India’s liquid ink market. By scaling up capacity and strengthening our sustainable portfolio, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet evolving customer needs. Our Gujarat plant will not only serve India but also position us as a regional export hub for future growth.”

Toyo Ink India’s liquid ink operations was launched in 2011 as an import business. Local production began in 2013 when the Delhi Plant commenced operations, followed by the Gujarat Plant in 2021. By quickly introducing products tailored to the needs of the Indian market, the company steadily strengthened its brand power and increased its market share.

As a member of the artience Group, Toyo Ink India is committed to delivering “pioneering value” to people around the world by applying the Group’s cutting-edge technology toward helping solve the challenges of today’s society, while striving to “build a future where all people can live enriched lives.”
