The choice of Rajoo as a preferred brand to Constantia India, was the outcome of a total evaluation in terms of technical, commercial and service support and a survey covering all the suppliers. “A buyer needs to understand whether high-end specifications are essential or desirable, and its impact on the end product quality; consistency definitely is an important parameter that is always considered. Another crucial aspect that needs to be considered when it comes to deciding on a solution as this is the after-sales support, response to emergencies, costs of spares and services,” well explains Srikanta Khatua, Head of Operation ‘Creative Sub-Cluster’, Constantia Flexibles –India.
He also adds, “During the last years, we have also experienced Rajoo in context to its supply, service and support at the Puducherry plant. I must say, we were extremely satisfied.” As is evident, the equipment performance is endorsed by the product it produces; the Constantia installation drives home this point as the films produced from this machine are benchmarked with the best-in-class flexible packaging laminates, locally and globally. Constantia have compared the sample films from the market with the product produced on the Rajoo 5-layer line and they find it clearly superior. For a state-of-the-art line as this, it is all about customer experience. When this production line showed an energy consumption of 20% lesser than comparative European machines, it was sheer customer delight, and this said it all.
“The agenda of ‘excellence in extrusion’ globally stems from the unique concept embarked on by Rajoo as offering ‘Appropriate Technology’ for business. For us at Rajoo, gone is the era to build
specifications for competitive advantages, it’s now time to identify just the right technologies and its mix, to add value to the client business.
Over specifications only add on to customer costs and not his business,” enunciates Khushboo Chandrakant Doshi, Executive Director, Rajoo Engineers Limited.
