What Khatema Fibres does

Khatema Fibres Limited is an Indian paper manufacturer, established in 1990 in UPSIDC Industrial Area, Khatima, Uttarakhand, operating as a subsidiary within the Moglix Group. The company manufactures a broad portfolio of specialty and industrial papers from imported wastepaper and pulp, anchored on a proprietary fibre-recovery capability that it claims is unique in India for recycling wet-strength, foil-laminated, and poly-coated waste into pulp at virgin-pulp parity. Its three paper machines deliver a combined annual capacity of 72,000 MT, producing MG Paper Tissue, Crepe Toweling Tissue, Overlay Tissue, MG Poster Papers, Gift Wrap Tissue, Sparkle Glitter Tissue, Kraft Paper, Electric Insulation Paper/Press Pan Board, Kraft Carry Bags, Cup Stock Papers, and an extended catalogue of wrapping, envelope, wedding-card, kite, and food-container papers.

The company serves two distinct customer pools. Domestically, it supplies Indian manufacturers and brand owners in FMCG, durables, ceramics, and electricals (named logos include HUL, Onida, Orientbell, Carrier, and Bilt) through a B2B direct channel and a dealer network refreshed annually via the Khatema Dealers Meet. In export, it supplies gift-wrap and sparkle tissues exclusively to American and European retail chains (Target, Dollar-Tree, Dollar Club) under made-to-order specifications for shade-matching and colour consistency. Operations are supported by ISO 9001:2015, FSC-C149547, and FDA certifications, enabling food-grade paper production and export-grade compliance.

Khatema Fibres monetises through one-time B2B sales of paper products, priced by quote with bulk-order unit pricing common, and earns no disclosed software or recurring revenue streams. Its GTM is direct sales plus dealer network domestically, and direct-supply export relationships internationally, with marketing activity concentrated on its website (powered by Moglix Labs), a content/blog 'Knowledge Hub', and participation in industry events such as Paperex 2025. The competitive positioning rests on process know-how rather than data or AI, and the underlying business model is a traditional specialty industrial paper manufacturer integrated into a B2B e-commerce parent.
