·         The plant, based in Faizabad (UP), will have an installed production capacity of 10 lakh units per day
·         New Product range made from sugarcane waste, offers food service and delivery solutions.

Mumbai, 21st September 2017In a bid to promote the use of eco-friendly products in the food industry, paper manufacturing company Yash Papers today announced the launch of its new range of compostable, biodegradable and eco-friendly tableware range called Chuk made from sugarcane waste, Bagasse.

Based out of Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, Yash Papers is India’s largest modern agro residue-based paper brands which manufactures kraft packaging material to chains like McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Yash Papers has invested Rs 60 crores in setting up its new biodegradable plant, which has a state of the art facility that includes a production innovation centre. The plant based out of Faizabad(UP) currently has a production capacity of 10 lakh units per day and the company plans to double the capacity every year for the next 3 years. The company closed the financial year ended 2016-2017 in consolidated revenue of Rs 183 crore and is aiming to receive at least 50 % of their revenue from the new bio-degradable segment in the next three years.

India generates over 15,000 tonnes of plastic on a daily basis. Packaging represents the single-largest sector of plastics use and accounts for 35 per cent of plastic consumption. In a bid to reduce the food industry’s dependency on plastic, Yash Papers developed a modular cost effective design priced between Rs 1 to Rs 7 which is actually cheaper than plastic.
The launch commenced with a Panel Discussion held in the city on ‘Promoting sustainability in Food Industry”. The panelists comprised of food influencers and TV show hosts Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma, Anna Warrington , Director, Forum for the future, Mr. Kunal Suri, COO, foodpanda, Srishti Jain, Feeding India and Riyaz Amlani, CEO, Impresario . The discussion focused on the relevance of eco-friendly food packaging for healthy eating and progressive steps taken by the Maharashtra government in banning plastics in the city.
Speaking on the launch of the eco-friendly range Mr. Ved Krishna, Head of Strategy at Yash Papers, said, “We end up consuming so many carcinogens without any awareness through the thermocol and plastic products we are served on and then these products are disposed damaging the ecology. It is time to embrace products that will enable us to eat safe and benefit the planet when disposed“

In order to bring in a better process in the growth of sustainable packaging solutions in India , the company last month also announced a strategic tie up with food delivery platform, foodpanda. The initiative enables foodpanda’s partner base of 15000+ restaurants to offer its customers food in environment friendly packaging.

Yash Papers is committed to raising awareness against the use of plastics and the harm it causes to the ecosystem. Their product design philosophy is to do justice to the form and function while keeping it fun and playful to enhance the food experience and protect the food when using Chuk Tableware.

DURAVIT CELEBRATES 200 YEARS : THE DESIGNER BATHROOM – PAST AND PRESENT


Press_information_ohne_information




2017 Today, Duravit AG is a leading international manufacturer of designer bathrooms. Duravit has carefully managed its brand, which is synonymous with holistically designed bathrooms. "In fact, we see ourselves as interior designers for bathrooms as living areas," says Frank Richter, CEO. But how did the success story of the Duravit brand develop over the 200 years of the company’s history?
1817. As is well-known, it all began in the Black Forest. Initially, the Steingut-Fabrik [Earthenware Factory] Hornberg, founded by Georg Friedrich Horn, produced tableware. 25 years later, in 1842, the companys production was broadened to include the first sanitaryware products that have been sold under the Duravit brand name since 1960. Frank Richter went on: During the first 150 years, the companys main focus was on quality and precision in the manufacture of ceramics." During one and a half centuries, as part of the industrial revolution, the technical possibilities, basic scientific principles and the commercial environment changed so much that an evolution of the bathroom and its products finally became possible in the second half of the 20th century.

1987. Most people date the increased importance of design in the bathroom to the mid-1980s, when renowned and ambitious designers first began paying greater attention to the wet cell bathroom. Duravit has played a key role in establishing the significance of bathrooms over the past 30 years. In the late 1980s, Duravit worked with Dieter Sieger to present its first designer range for the bathroom. Yet Giamo was only the beginning, and the first complete designer bathroom, created with Philippe Starck, revolutionised the sanitary industry when it was launched in 1994. Today, numerous internationally renowned designers work for Duravit.

2007. The company continuously grew during the years and decades that followed, adding international emphasis, and technological aspects also became a part of Duravit's DNA. The Research and Development Departments of the international company are located at the companys German headquarters in Hornberg and the Duravit Sanitaryware Technology Center in Shanghai. Here, Duravit continually develops innovations in all areas, from materials engineering to flushing technology and electrical engineering for light, sound and whirl systems, and the look, feel, acoustics and usability play an important role here, too.

In this way, the company meets the present and future requirements of its clients in all areas. Frank Richter emphasises: The brand triad of quality, design and technology is what distinguishes Duravit. Today there are 5 product areas: Ceramics, furniture, wellness technologies (including shower-toilets, whirlpools, saunas), tap fittings and accessories. The company produces at eleven locations around the world. Duravit has some 6000 employees round the world, and in 2016 the turnover was 450 million Euros.
Since seven years design bathroom manufacturer : Duravit AG runs a production site in Gujarat


Strong bands: The relationship between India and Germany and mutual inspiration means that the two countries are more than business partners. As both are stable liberal democracies, they have similar objectives. Culturally too, Interior design preferences and lifestyle trends also often influence one another. Like for example bathroom and wellness trends. Today, India is emerging as a major sanitary ware market in the Asia-Pacific region. Given this favourable economic situation, it was a logical step for the German-based design bathroom manufacturer Duravit AG to open a ceramic production site in the state of Gujarat in 2010.


The plant in India is the Duravit Group’s tenth production site worldwide and covers an area of around 170,000 m². Before the opening of an own subsidiary, the company has been operating in India since 2001 via wholesalers. Since then, the subsidiary has already earned the status of a recognised export house, with ISO 9002 Certification, ISO 50001 certifications and ISI mark.

When Duravit has chosen the state of Gujarat as the location for its production facility, the company was one of the first investors in this region. “For Duravit, quality is a central success factor in order to ensure the satisfaction of business partners, architects and consumers. When we started, we developed the infrastructure and trained the people to meet Duravit’s high quality requirements“, says Asutosh Shah, Managing Director of Duravit India. These uniform quality management standards of the company are already established at the Duravit India production site and have been certified by the German TÜV Rheinland with the EN ISO 9001 quality standard in December 2013. Nowadays, the Indian plant is one of the most modern state-of-the-art plants and has a workforce of 350 people in aggregate. In July 2014, Duravit India opened a showroom at the production site. The product presentation is based on experiencing and learning about the brand directly.


“Duravit expects the Indian market to continue on its growth path. We therefore plan to maintain our focus and extend our activities in this region”, says Duravit CEO Frank Richter. Amongst others, the bathroom manufacturer is benefitting from the strong demand for design and lifestyle brands in India. The bathroom itself has become a popular lifestyle theme; purely functional bathrooms are increasingly a thing of the past in India. Modern bathrooms feature comfortable, holistic concepts based on individual needs. Ideal conditions for the design bathroom manufacturer: “We see ourselves as interior designers for bathrooms as living areas, and have ourselves played a key role in establishing the new significance of bathrooms in India and all over the world,” says CEO Frank Richter. The demand for Duravit products in India comes from the project business as well as from the private sector. The company has already made an impact in India as a premium designer bathroom brand with presence in more than 75 luxury hotels and over 150 premium residential apartments. Having achieved a wide acceptance , the brand is present across 400 retailer showrooms in India. Moreover, Duravit India has deployed an after-sales service team across most parts of the country. Success lately proves the company right: Duravit has already become one of the most well-known designer brands. In March 2017, Duravit sold approx. 20.000 toilets and washbasins to the project development company “Magarpatta Township Development and Construction Co. Ltd.”, one of the largest and best-known building development firms in India.


Duravit AG

Founded in 1817 in Hornberg in the Black Forest, Duravit AG is today a leading international manufacturer of designer bathrooms. The company operates in more than 130 countries worldwide and stands for innovations in the fields of signature design, the intelligent use of technology and premium quality. In cooperation with high-profile international designers, such as Philippe Starck, EOOS, Phoenix Design, sieger design, Kurt Merki Jr., Christian Werner, Matteo Thun and Cecilie Manz, the company develops comfortable bathrooms that really enhance quality of life for users on a sustained basis. Duravit's product portfolio comprises sanitary ceramics, bathroom furniture, baths and shower trays, wellness systems, shower-toilets, faucets and accessories.
