From small workshop to international supplier
In 1972, Kohli Industries opened for business in a small workshop, equipped with minor investment. Due to huge ambition and a long-term vision for the flexible packaging industry, the company grew exponentially over the next two decades. By mid-nineties they shifted to a bigger warehouse and by the turn of the century, demand for their products was so high that they moved to the large current facility. As of 2013, Kohli sells its machines directly to twenty two countries. Including machines that are sold by European OEM’s under their own brand label, the number of countries rises to 28.
