Mitsu Chem to Launch Automated IBC Facility by Q2 FY27

Mitsu Chem Plast is set to enter the intermediate bulk container (IBC) segment with plans to establish a state-of-the-art, fully automated manufacturing facility, expected to become operational in Q2 FY27.

This initiative will broaden the company’s product portfolio by introducing IBCs—large-capacity containers used for the storage and transportation of liquids, semi-solids, pastes, and solid materials. These containers are widely utilized across industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, agrochemicals, and specialty sectors, owing to their durability, reusability, and efficiency.

The IBCs manufactured by Mitsu Chem Plast will be designed to meet stringent international standards, incorporating high-quality High-density polyethylene inner bottles and precision-engineered steel cages. The use of full automation in the manufacturing process is expected to ensure consistent wall thickness, dimensional accuracy, and overall product reliability.

The upcoming facility will integrate advanced blow moulding and assembly systems to support high-volume production without compromising on precision. This investment aligns with increasing domestic demand—particularly from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries—and addresses India’s growing need for standardized, reusable bulk packaging solutions.
