Goldmann Automatic Pvt. Ltd. (GAPL) was established in 1973 by Gulzar Singh, initially focusing on manufacturing machinery for self-adhesive tapes and the nut and bolt industry. Over the years, the company expanded its product line to include metal handling machines, such as EOT cranes and metal pipes. In 1985, GAPL ventured into the production of coating machines specifically designed for self-adhesive tapes. This innovation paved the way for subsequent developments, including slitting and rewinding machines, as well as coating machines for packaging and surgical tapes. Notably, Ruby Singh, son of Gulzar Singh later designed hotmelt coating machines tailored for the label industry. Goldmann team consists entirely of dedicated mechanical engineers, showcasing our commitment to technological advancement and engineering excellence.

Water Base Coating vs Hot Melt Coating for Labels
Water-based technology has long been the conventional method for manufacturing self-adhesive label stock. However, this approach comes with significant drawbacks, including high costs associated with both the machinery and operational space, alongside considerable energy consumption due to the need for boilers and ancillary equipment. Additionally, the accuracy achieved with water-based technology can often be inconsistent. In contrast, as competition within the industry intensifies, hotmelt coating technology has emerged as a viable alternative. This innovative method not only offers superior product quality compared to water-based technology, but it also provides cost savings, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to enhance efficiency while maintaining high standards.
Hot Melt coating an ideal choice for Label Stock
Hotmelt coating machines represent a significant advancement over traditional water-based machines, offering double the speed and reduced space requirements along with fewer ancillary needs. This innovative technology enables manufacturers to enhance productivity while minimizing investment, yielding high-quality products with precise GSM specifications. By implementing hotmelt coating machines, manufacturers can cut costs related to overhead, plant operations, machinery, and running expenses. The operation is streamlined, requiring just one operator and one helper to run the machinery efficiently. Additionally, real-time monitoring capabilities allow for automatic adjustments to the GSM, ensuring optimal performance and quality. Hotmelt technology stands as a modern solution for manufacturers aiming to achieve superior results with less effort and investment.
The volume and label stock industry is vast, with lakhs of meters being coated each month. By leveraging hotmelt technology to save just 10 paisa on each meter of raw material and coating, significant savings can be realized. This approach not only minimizes costs but also results in the production of labels that hold substantial value, often amounting to lakhs of rupees. Such efficiencies in manufacturing processes can lead to greater profitability and competitive advantage in the market.
