The great economic potential of India has always fascinated me. It is a country with well-educated, motivated young people and for our JV in India, I’m pleased to have found a very competent partner in the Saraiya family. A very friendly and close relationship is harboured between the Saraiya and Müller families. This gives us confidence and we look forward to a positive business development in the production of steel drums and barrels for the chemical industry based in India.
Our JV embodies the unison of two like minded families with shared values and principles. I have immense respect for the Müller family. While the Müller Group with its rich lineage of 125 years is renowned worldwide for its strength in industrial packaging, on a personal level as well, our experience of working with Peter, Christian and the entire Müller Team has been very enriching. I’m confident that together, Team MUPL will scale new heights and strengthen the JV’s vision.
Right from the inception of the Joint Venture to the construction of the new production site in Karjan, I have seen MUPL grow. Our Managing Partner & CEO, Manan and the entire team have continually impressed me. With great commitment and will, we persevered hard on our shared vision and future. Now we are ready for the fascinating and rapidly growing Indian market, where we would like to serve discerning customers with our high quality steel drums and barrels.
Gujarat is the chemical heartland of India. To be positioned in the center of this dynamism, at a time when International companies are increasingly looking to establish and / or expand their facilities, is exciting for MUPL’s future growth. Our JV is a symbiotic relationship based on mutual trust and respect. Working together with Peter, Christian and the entire Müller team has been a rewarding learning experience. With the finest technical expertise and research experience of the Müller Group, we are bringing together strengths of both the Organizations. Thus, creating a meaningful synergy and ultimately, extending the benefit to our growing customer base.
