Descriptiontext

Manjushree Technopack is India's largest rigid plastic packaging converter, operating 30 manufacturing facilities across India and headquartered in Bengaluru. The company manufactures PET preforms and PET sheets — the inputs to rigid plastic bottles, jars, and unit-dose pharmaceutical packs — and sells these primarily on a direct B2B basis to enterprise customers in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, and beverages, with named accounts including Varun Beverages, Dabur, and Marico. The core technology is high-volume PET preform and PET sheet manufacturing, with proprietary investments in capacity expansion, design for recyclability, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance support for brand owners.

The company has been built largely through inorganic roll-up: six disclosed acquisitions between 2016 and 2024 (Varahi Limited, NAPLA, Pearl Polymers' commercial operations and manufacturing facilities, Classy Kontainers, Hitesh Plastics, and Oriental Containers). In March 2015, Kedaara Capital invested in the company; Advent International subsequently held the controlling stake before PAG acquired approximately 97% of the company from Advent in late 2024 for approximately ₹8,400 crore (~$1 billion), after which Manjushree withdrew its planned initial public offering. The company was originally founded around 1980 (with firmographic data citing 1983) and remains private under PAG ownership.

In February 2026, the board approved a rebranding to Alternicq Limited, signaling a strategic pivot from a scale-led, manufacturer-led identity toward an innovation-driven, customer-centric packaging solutions partner emphasizing sustainability and circularity. Management includes a CEO and Managing Director (Thimmaiah Napanda P.), the founder and Managing Director (Vimal Kedia), and functional heads covering finance, HR, IT, operations, sales and marketing, and business, with the executive team unchanged through the most recent ownership transition.
