Essel Propack is a global tube-packaging company owned by The Blackstone Group headquartered in Mumbai, India.[1] It is a specialty packaging manufacturer of laminated plastic tubes for the FMCG and Pharma space.[2][3]
In 2013, Essel Propack employed more than 2,600 people, and operated 24 facilities in 11 countries,[4] selling more than six billion tubes each year and was the world’s largest plastic tubes manufacturer.[citation needed] As of 2009, the company had a global market share of 33% in the toothpaste tube packaging industry.[5]
History
The company was formed from the merger of two pre-existing companies, Essel Packaging and Propack AG led by then CEO Cyrus Bagwadia.[6][7]
In 2002, Essel Propack set up a 60,000 sq.ft, US$15 Million manufacturing plant in Danville, Virginia, to make toothpaste tubes for Procter & Gamble's North American market.[2][8][9] In the same year, the company set up its fourth plant in China.[10]
The company was acquired by The Blackstone Group in 2019 during an assets sale of the debt-ridden Essel Group.[11]
