Antala Industries Limited (originally formed as a partnership firm under the name M/s Octagon Industries in April 2021 and subsequently converted into a public limited company in August 2024) is an integrated industrial packaging solutions provider. The company is engaged in manufacturing, processing, printing, laminating, and supplying a comprehensive range of commercial and industrial packaging products. Its core product portfolio comprises Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Bags, BOPP Printing Rolls, BOPP Lamination Rolls, Polypropylene (PP) Woven Bags, and PP Woven Lamination Rolls. The company’s core value proposition centers on delivering customized packaging materials designed to offer high tensile strength, moisture resistance, durability, and superior aesthetic printability to enhance product protection and shelf appeal for its industrial clients.
The company caters to a wide spectrum of essential end-user industries, including food processing, agriculture, fertilizers, chemicals, cement, seeds, FMCG, and construction materials. Its target demographics comprise industrial manufacturers, agricultural producers, and commercial distributors requiring heavy-duty, protective packaging solutions. Geographically, the company’s revenue is generated domestically, with a strong regional presence in Gujarat, which contributed 70.01% of operational revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2026, and 71.08% in Fiscal 2026. Other key markets include West Bengal (23.57% in 6M FY27) and Maharashtra (4.23% in 6M FY27). Customer concentration remains moderate to high, with the top 1 customer generating 19.61% and the top 10 customers accounting for 56.43% of total revenue from operations for the period ended September 30, 2026.
Regarding manufacturing infrastructure, the company operates a single integrated manufacturing facility situated at Shapar, Rajkot, Gujarat. The facility is equipped with extrusion, coating and lamination, rotogravure printing, roll-to-roll multi-colour printing, cutting, stitching, and finishing machinery. In Fiscal 2026, the plant maintained an installed capacity of 442.50 Lakh Meters for Printing Machinery (with 76.05% utilization at 336.50 Lakh Meters produced), 405.00 Lakh Meters for Lamination Machinery (with 76.67% utilization at 310.50 Lakh Meters produced), and 456.30 Lakh Meters for Cutting & Stitching Machinery (with 71.43% utilization). Through fresh IPO proceeds, the company proposes to expand installed capacity by +87.88% in Printing (to 930.00 Lakh Meters/Annum), +80.00% in Lamination (to 810.00 Lakh Meters/Annum), and +35.50% in Cutting & Stitching (to 687.00 Lakh Meters/Annum) to address existing throughput bottlenecks.
Operationally, the integrated setup allows the company to conduct all core processes in-house—from reverse rotogravure printing on BOPP films to extrusion lamination onto PP woven fabric and final automated converting. This workflow reduces total production turnaround from 10–12 days to 5–7 days, enhancing inventory turnover and execution speed. Quality and environmental standards are backed by accredited certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management System), ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety Management System), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System).
