Speaking about the company and its latest ventures, Anuj Choksi, managing partner, UPI, shares, "The main product we are focusing on currently is LDPE shrink film. Our team is working on down gauging LDPE shrink film and sleeves so that it can completely replace PVC shrink. The reason for replacing PVC with LDPE is that LDPE is 100% recyclable and thus better for the environment. Being from a background of machinery manufacturers, we are also working on making changes in the extruders specifically for LDPE shrink to reduce defects."

The production unit of Universal Manufacturing Industries has a capacity of 55000 Metric tons per annum. UMI is the second unit of Abhi Plastics, which has been manufacturing plastic machinery for the past 38 years.
