Mr. Lalit Agrawal, under his dynamic leadership started manufacturing ball point pens in 1998 in the company Ostern Pvt Ltd. (OPL) Recognizing the evolving market opportunities in 2010, he strategically diversified into the production of thin-wall food containers beginning with a modest production capacity of 80 MT per month. By 2017, our operations had grown, expanding capacity to 180 MT per month to meet increasing demand. In 2019, the company OPL’s thin wall food container business was transitioned to Glen Industries Limited, marking a new chapter of growth. Under the Glen Industries brand, we further expanded production to 665 MT per month. Continuing our commitment to sustainability and innovation, we ventured into manufacturing of compostable straws (both PLA and paper) in 2019 and compostable U shape straws in 2022 and gradually becoming an industry leader and partnering with top HORECA and beverage brands across India.
All through, we have been using cutting-edge machinery and technology sourced from Japan, Taiwan, and China.
