L&T Plastics Appoints Platform Technical Solutions as Nigerian Agency

March 29, 2010 - PRLog -- The plastics industry in Nigeria was given a boost early this year with the entrance of L&T Plastics Machinery Limited. L&T Plastics is a 100% subsidiary company of Larsen & Toubro Ltd, the largest engineering conglomerate in India. With a turnover of about 8.5 billion USD, L&T has achieved leadership position in almost all its areas of operations in engineering, construction, manufacturing and services.

L&T Plastics has setup a state-of-the-art factory at Chennai, India for manufacturing plastics injection molding machines. L&T produces machines in clamping tonnages ranging from 40T – 1000T with a modular design. The newly built factory boasts of an in-house R&D setup for development of mechanical, hydraulics and control systems.

With over 15 years of experience in the manufacturing of injection molding machines, L&T has created an unmatched brand image and it’s the most preferred supplier for hundreds of customers around the world.

The plastics industry in Nigeria is experiencing unprecedented growth. The household and packaging segment of the industry in particular have witnessed innovations in product designs and expansion of existing production capacity with the addition of new machines into the market in 2009. What has been lacking is availability of world class technical equipment and services to support the growth. L&T through its agent, Platform Technical Solutions, is poised to provide the local industry with top of the range injection molding machines, auxiliary equipments such as dryers, blending units, recycling solutions and conveying systems.

According to Mr. Lanre Olapoju (+234 803 261 6685), Director for Platform Technical Solutions, the entrance of L&T Plastics into the Nigerian market is already beginning to yield important dividends to the local industry. Plastics manufacturers now have access to top class technical advice and support services and can order their injection molding machines and auxiliary equipments directly from L&T.
