Essel Propack is a global tube-packaging company headquartered in Mumbai in India. It is part of the Essel Group, and is a specialty packaging manufacturer of laminated plastic tubes for the FMCG and Pharma space.[1][2]

In 2013, Essel Propack employed more than 2,600 people, and operated 24 facilities in 11 countries,[3] selling more than six billion tubes each year. At that time, globally, the company held a 33% share of the Oral Care market in terms of volume and was the world’s largest plastic tubes manufacturer.

History

The company was formed from the merger of two pre-existing companies, Essel Packaging and Propack AG led by then CEO Cyrus Bagwadia.[4][5]

In 2002, Essel Propack set up a 60,000 sq.ft, US$15 Million manufacturing plant in Danville, Virginia, to make toothpaste tubes for Procter & Gamble's North American market.[1][6][7]

That same year, the company set up its fourth plant in China.[8]
