KRISORAL scales up ROPP and HDPE Closure Plants capacity by 100%

 

The management of KRISORAL and Company Limited, manufacturers of Roll-Over-Pilfer-Proof (ROPP)  and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) closures in Nigeria, says it has increased capacities of its plants from 2 billion caps per annum to 4 billion caps per annum; an increase of 100 percent.

Oranu Chris Chidume, Group Managing Director, KRISORAL Group of Companies, promoters of the firm, who revealed this at the weekend, while hosting the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnayelugo Nnaemeka Achebe, who was on tour of the facility also explained that KRISORAL and Company Limited, a member of KRISORAL Group of companies, produces ROPP caps of different dimensions, High Density Polyethylene caps which comes in carbonated or non carbonated forms; printed or plain of different colours and in the sizes of 28mm, 30mm and 41.5mm. Our other products are Drug Dispensing Cups, PVC Shrink Labels…

It is the first indigenous company in Nigeria, to have full process of ROPP cap and the only company today that has top and side embossments technology, a development he said many people are not aware of.

Chidume further explained that the capacities of the two plants as at 2012 were about 2 billion caps per annum, which has now been upgraded to  about 4 billion caps per annum, stressing that a lot of expansion has occurred between 2012, the year they were commissioned and now-2015. These capacities are enough to relieve companies in Nigeria, especially Pharmaceutical and Beverage companies of the rigours and stresses of importing same closures from overseas.

The KRISORAL boss remarked that many people may not know that facility of this nature exists locally and may still be importing and complaining that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is strangling their businesses by not giving them funds to import- yet paying more for less. He then called on User Companies to utilize this opportunity to add value to their business, as what they are looking for overseas are here at their doorstep.

On quality, he said that the products are of high quality as it goes through compressed technology. “Nothing can change the quality of the products, because of the precision of the technology. The precision guarantees smoothness, dotless and consistency in dimension. It is a technology that says put your raw materials and go and sleep”.

“With this kind of the machines, it is not possible for a corrupt mind to make more money with; as they have been programmed to function so, he added.

Another beauty of what we are doing here is that our major raw material is sourced locally, from Indorama in Eleme, River State.

He then conveyed the management’s gratitude to his Royal Majesty, Agbogidi, for the wonderful father he is and for the honour of touring the facilities. Onitsha is now clean, safer and more enabling for businesses to thrive, he commended the authorities, particularly the Executive Governor of the State, Willie M. Obiano.
