TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

EPL’s technology network is spread across 11 countries. With superior technology and four decades of global experience, we deliver the highest-quality value-added products to our customers. We also lead research that advances the science and technology of packaging.

We develop packaging with superior barrier properties, visual appeal, convenience, and dispensability. Our Innovation Team comprises some of the world’s foremost packaging technologists, who have now extended our expertise to new areas like mini-tubes, seamless plastic tubes, caps, and closures.

WE ARE “ONE EPL”
TAKE A LOOK AT
OUR JOURNEY.

We have come a long way since we started production in 1984. Our early success hinged on extraordinary products to serve our lead clients – who, in turn, took us along with them as they expanded their operations to markets globally.

Along the way, we grew via joint ventures and acquisitions, deepening our footprint in each market. In the last decade, we set up factories across several markets globally, striking deep roots as a truly global packaging company.

Today, we employ over 5300+ employees from 25 different nationalities at 21+ state-of-the-art facilities in eleven countries across all continents. We enjoy a marquee customer base of global, regional, and local niche brands, and are now a fully backward integrated manufacturer – from blown film to tubes.

EPL won Excellence award in the Rigid Packaging category under the Innovation in Design, for its pioneering work in designing recyclable rigid plastic packaging. This achievement reflects our commitment to driving circular economy practices and creating packaging solutions that are better for the planet.

The CII Sustainable Packaging Awards celebrate innovations that Eliminate, Innovate, and Circulate—key pillars for a sustainable future.

What makes this recognition even more special is that it’s a joint award with Colgate-Palmolive India. The highlight—and the reason we earned this honour—was achieving a 100% implementation and transition for CP. While I had the privilege of receiving the award on behalf of EPL Ltd, I dedicate this achievement to our incredible India team for their relentless efforts in making this transition a reality.
