The demand for aluminum material for preparing squeeze tubes is continuously growing; this metal can withstand changes in temperate and humidity and freeze with good conductivity at the same time, providing maximum safety to the stored product during transportation. Contributing to the highly competitive market; Sona Extrusion has emerged as the leading manufacturer of aluminum collapsible tubes, bottles, and containers in India.
Started in 1986 in Gujarat, the company has been a pioneer in meeting schedule targets for massive volume orders with consistent, high-quality products. Sona Extrusion believes in innovation, a culture of creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement while staying abreast of marketing trends and customer needs. Sona Extrusion understands the nature and criticality of the products and takes pride in their high standards of hygiene and strict adherence to CGMP.
"We began with personal care, since toothpaste used to be sold in aluminum tubes, before moving on to the pharmaceutical market. We provide aluminum packaging solutions to firms, including Glenmark, Galentic, Novartis, UPL, Zydus, and many well-known companies. When it comes to cosmetic packaging, we have a dedicated production line for them and are flexible with MOQ to start with 2000 tubes", shares Arjun Patel, Head - Business Development Manager.
Ensuring Strict Quality Standards
Sona Extrusion is accredited with authentic certification to ensure product quality; the company’s product range includes aluminum collapsible tubes, flasks, bottles, and tablet canisters printed or non-printed as per the requirement. The certification ISO 15378 is specifically for primary packaging materials for medical products As the materials are filled in the collapsible tube, they come into direct contact with the tube, so if the quality of the tube is inferior, it might harm the customer's product. Thus, quality has been guaranteed throughout the whole production process of the tube until the customer has filled it. Even after the sale, if the customer has any questions, the company will be delighted to address them.
In addition, Sona Extrusion is US DMF registered with EU compliance, the company can supply worldwide and it is among those manufacturers in India that are certified and audited by SGS every year, which is a Switzerland-based company. "Being a 36-year-old company, a lot of our employees have experience of around 18 to 20 years in manufacturing aluminum packaging material itself. We have modern manufacturing facilities most of our machines are imported from Germany, cutting-edge technology, and a knowledgeable workforce ensure that our products meet the highest standards for quality and precision", shares Arjun.
Sona Extrusion is constantly developing products, manufacturing standards, & capacity to meet ever-changing customer requirements
Furthermore, Sona Extrusion has a firm grasp of the client's specific needs and delivers products accordingly. In addition, the client chooses the tube's size, printing design, color, nozzle, and closure before receiving a sample in physical or digital form. Once the specifications have been finalized, the designs are sent for printing. Since metal printing is not the same as printing on plastic receptacles, the artist keeps these limitations in mind while designing print materials. Henceforth, Sona Extrusion is perpetually evolving and gaining knowledge; it began with one production line and now has eighteen. We are dedicated to manufacturing and delivering premium aluminum packaging solutions that are safe, reliable, and environmentally sustainable. As metal packaging is more eco-friendly and upscale or opulent than plastic packaging, consumers prefer it over plastic packaging. The company has purchased new equipment to create aluminum containers for use in the cosmetics industry for shampoo, serum, or any other liquid product. The expansion strategy for Sona Extrusion included manufacturing aluminum-printed bottles for the cosmetics industry. In the immediate future, it will import equipment for manufacturing lamitubes for personal care products.
