October 2024

In October 2024, several members of our UK and Ireland team were invited to tour our long-standing manufacturing partner, Comsyn.

After more than 24 hours of travel, we finally arrived in Indore late in the evening, ready to begin our journey through the heart of our supply chain.

These annual visits are an important part of our commitment to maintaining a strong, transparent supply chain. They provide our team with valuable insight into the detailed processes involved in producing our flexible packaging products. This exposure deepens our understanding of the manufacturing side of operations, helping to enhance our team’s knowledge. These visits also strengthen collaboration between our teams and partners, fostering closer working relationships.

First Full Day

The first full day was spent at Comsyn, where we toured their impressive BRC+AA food-grade facility. We observed the intricate process behind manufacturing bulk bag. Starting with the creation of various GSM fabrics rolled into massive spools, followed by loop and dust seam production. The fabrics were then coated, printed using giant machines, meticulously sewn, and finally palletised for distribution.

Evening Events

That evening, our hosts treated us to a memorable dinner featuring local delicacies, offering a warm and flavourful welcome. On our second day at Comsyn, we explored their recycling facility and special projects section, witnessing firsthand the production of our polypropylene sacks. We also held productive meetings focused on sustainability initiatives aimed at reducing both their and our carbon footprint, while evaluating new bespoke product developments.

Other Factories

Following this, we visited another of our partner factories, which mirrored many of the same processes and efficiencies we observed at Comsyn. Our journey then took us to Jodhpur, where we toured our final factory. Much like the previous sites, this factory showcased a high standard of production. However, what stood out here was watching our pouches being fabricated and printed.

This trip provided us with a comprehensive view of our manufacturing partners’ operations, a deeper understanding of their environmental commitments. This reaffirmed sense of partnership rooted in transparency and innovation.
