The global caps and closures market size is expected to be valued at US$ 68.58 Billion in 2022. With the increasing demand for various oil and food products and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, coupled with the increase in disposable income levels of consumers in emerging economies, the overall market for caps and closures is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent between 2022 and 2032, totaling around US$ 117.14 Billion by 2032. In 2004, Balaji Polymers emerged as a prominent manufacturer and an integrated packaging solution provider of high-quality plastic products. The birthstone was laid down at Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in the northern part of India.
Consumers rely on products that are user-friendly, easy to open, temper evident and convenient to use. Balaji Polymers started with wide-mouth closures, and now the company is catering to almost all renowned companies engaged in filling edible oil in India.
Expanding its wings in 2009, Balaji Polymers further invested in PET (Preform production lines) for producing wide neck preforms and successfully experimented with multi-cavity moulds for PET preform production. The happy coincidence here is that its top management comprises techno commercial personal, and they successfully experimented with multi cavity moulds for preform production. An investment in 8 cavity 83mm neck and 4 cavity 120 mm neck with 250 ton fully automatic injection moulding production lines was done. At that point of time, this was very uncommon in the entire country and this decision helped the company to emerge as a real leader in PET preform for wide mouth preforms especially designed for 2-liter and 5-liter pack sizes.
With the motto to have high output lines, another milestone was achieved in year 2014, Balaji Polymers invested in a world-class All- Electric manufacturing setup to acknowledge their responsibility to reduce carbon footprints and produce world class preforms and temper evident closures. “By continuing their decade old relationship, in 2014 Balaji Polymers and B L Agro Industries Ltd tied up for design and development of latest packaging designs in PET bottles and closures and helped each other in implementing one of the first and the only high-speed production line in edible oil segment in India. “We are the one who helped our family like customer B L Agro Oils Ltd to plan and implement 400 bottles per minute bottling line in edible oil segment’s first line in India and assured continuous supply for preform and closures as their solo supplier.
Their 2-liter and 5-liter bottles with integrated handles are very typical to make. They are made using our 42/34 CTC neck preforms and caps and acclaimed many prestigious design awards in India and globally speaks Ramneek Vats, (Founder & CEO) Balaji Polymers”.

All sizes are designed for the best-suited requirements of the edible oil industry (200 ml to 5000ml). The company has the ultra-most modern infrastructural facility at their Duhai Unit which is spread over 25000 sq feet area which is well developed and adequately equipped, which enables them to conduct a hassle-free production process. Their infrastructure is divided in three different departments (PET PREFORMS Production, CLOSURE Production and Assembly lines) and is installed with modern All- Electric Husky PET Preform production Lines and All- Electric Toshiba Closure Production Lines that assist in producing the exclusive range of PET Preforms and plastic caps.
Today Balaji Polymers is the only company in INDIA dedicatedly producing preforms and closures for edible oil segment on these high-speed lines. Earlier these high-speed production lines were installed only by Coca Cola and Pepsi Convertors. This was a big bet which Balaji Polymers placed in year 2014. The vision was quite clear 'Invest in the best and produce the best'. Today, this new facility is a masterpiece having state of art machines with completely controlled air- cooled production area. Whole facility is supported by fully air-conditioned UPS area to provide power backup in case of power failure. Assembly lines have been designed in such a way that even if there is small defect in cap quality it is filtered automatically to rejection bin. “We have always followed no compromise policy on quality, and due to our faith and belief in Quality, Balaji Polymers today supplies to various edible oil industries who go through stringent quality tests", speaks Amit Arora (Co-Founder & Managing Partner) Balaji Polymers.
