Saloni Paper Machines Pvt. Ltd.

What Saloni Paper Machines Pvt. Ltd. does

Saloni Paper Machines Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian manufacturer of paper machines and machine components serving the pulp and paper industry, headquartered and operating from a single facility in the GIDC industrial area of Vapi, Gujarat. The firm was founded in 2004 as 'Saloni Engineers,' an installation and erection services company, and transitioned into equipment manufacturing in 2010 under the names Saloni Engineering Works and subsequently Saloni Paper Machines Pvt. Ltd. Its product portfolio spans the full range of paper machine sections: Fourdrinier wire part, head box (open and closed/pressurized types), straight press, K-press, bi-nip press, suction press rolls (with single and double zone internal boxes), dryer section (1200–1800 mm diameter cylinders, up to 4.5 kg/cm2 steam), size press, pope reel, and twin drum rewinder. These are designed for capacities of 50–500 TPD and operating speeds up to 1,800 MPM, covering writing/printing paper, newsprint, kraft paper, test liner, fluting media, and poster paper applications.

The business model combines custom capital equipment manufacturing with a suite of professional services — installation and commissioning, plant erection (with 24/7 support), upgradation and modernization (including machines built by other OEMs), operational improvement and expansion, energy conservation, and old-machinery rejuvenation. Revenue is generated through one-time, tailor-made equipment sales on a quote-based pricing model plus service engagements tied to long-term customer relationships; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-mill with no resellers or intermediaries.

The company sells directly to enterprise pulp and paper mills across India via a B2B field sales motion, evidenced by 15+ named enterprise customers — including JK Papers, Century Pulp & Paper, Bilt Graphics Paper Product, Best Paper Mills, N.R. Agarwal Industries, Satia Industries, Ruchira Paper Mills, Godavari Pulp & Paper, and Malu Paper Mills — spanning 15+ states. The firm is founder-led under Managing Director Jai Kishan Sharma (approximately 26 years of industry experience), with concentrated family ownership, no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing, and no funding rounds recorded in the input.
