GUWAHATI, Apr 27: The Numaligarh Refinery Limited
(NRL) Saturday launched its premium quality food grade wax
which can be used in food packaging, pharmaceutical and
cosmetic industries.
Owing to huge demands of food grade wax which is
currently met through imports, the NRL aims to bridge the
demand supply gap with this product and become a market leader
in this segment.
The company will now cater to cosmetic, pharmaceutical
food packaging and FMCG industries in domestic as well as
foreign markets, a company release said.
The product was launched during the 4th NRL Customers’
Meet here by Assamese actor Barsha Rani Bishaya, who will also
be its brand ambassador, in presence of the company’s Managing
Director S K Barua and other top officials.
The NRL, a Mini Ratna PSU, will use the brand name
‘Pristene’ for this food grade wax.
NRL started its wax production in 2015 and it is the
largest producer of paraffin wax in the country producing
around 50,000 tonnes of fully refined paraffin wax.
NRL also exports wax to 35 countries in North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. (PTI)
