Sundaram Multi Pap Limited has commissioned a state-of-the-art fully automatic notebook manufacturing machine at its Palghar production facility in Maharashtra. The machine, supplied by Line-O-Matics, represents an investment of Rs 30 million (Rs 30 mn) and forms part of a planned programme to modernise the company’s infrastructure. The installation was completed and the equipment is now fully operational, according to the company. The equipment incorporates automatic feeding, precision cutting and inline quality control to minimise manual intervention and maintain consistent output. Management indicated the upgrade is intended to increase production capacity while reducing manual labour and enhancing product quality and consistency. The company expects the automation to improve cost efficiency, strengthen operational margins and support scalability. Further automation lines are planned to augment production infrastructure in the near term. Senior management expects shorter turnaround times and a reduced requirement for routine manual tasks, supporting long-term labour optimisation. Company executives said the new line will help meet growing market demand and reduce lead times through streamlined processes. The firm noted that automation will contribute to sustainable growth by improving repeatability and lowering per-unit costs. The new capability is expected to generate a measurable uplift in output over forthcoming quarters. The firm said the line will enable tighter process control and greater compliance with product standards, aiding customer satisfaction. The disclosure has been made under the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015 to keep stakeholders informed of operational developments. The company indicated that while the event is not material under Schedule III it considered transparency important. Sundaram Multi Pap Limited will continue to evaluate further investments as it seeks to modernise production and sustain operational momentum. Further equipment additions are scheduled over the next few quarters to sustain momentum and expand capacity incrementally.
