Inpac Delta Group, the joint venture packaging business formed by Delta Print and Packaging in Belfast and China's Inpac, has won a £6m contract in India from an unnamed manufacturer of mobile phones.
The deal is the largest yet for the Inpac Delta Group, which will produce cartons, manuals and user guides, plus labels and stickers, at its factory near Chennai, India.
Delta Print and Packaging chairman Terry Cross said the firm was extending the factory and building a second plant at Sriperumbudur, which will specialise in corrugated packaging. Both the extension and the new factory are expected to be operational during the first quarter of 2008.
The Inpac Delta joint venture in India also includes local partner Claridge Moulded Fibres of Mumbai, which has a 10% stake.
"The contract gives us a very strong presence in a market that is poised to become one of the biggest for mobile telecommunications," said Cross.
He said Inpac Delta already worked with many of the leading manufacturers of mobile phones in China and chose the Belfast firm to support them in India due to its expertise and experience.
"The objective of our joint venture is to offer them a one-stop shop for printed packaging in whatever market they are operating. It's a service that also includes packaging design, logistics and fulfilment," he said.
Delta Print and Packaging provides packaging services to the food, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications industries from its plant in West Belfast.
