When Greycon first entered the Indian market, Cosmo Films emerged as both a leader in specialty films and a forward-thinking company ready to embrace advanced technologies. Fifteen years ago, they made a strategic move by adopting X-Trim, Greycon’s trim optimisation solution, a decision that would not only transform their production efficiency but also mark a key milestone for Greycon.

As our first customer in India, Cosmo Films helped establish our presence in a dynamic and growing market, setting the stage for broader digital transformation across the flexible packaging industry. Today, we’re proud to celebrate this 15-year partnership and the lasting impact it has made on both our companies.

A Legacy of Leadership in Packaging Films

Founded in 1981, Cosmo Films has grown into one of the world’s largest producers of BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) films, and the world’s largest manufacturer of thermal lamination films, catering to diverse industries including packaging, lamination, labelling, and industrial applications.

The company has a strong global presence, with offices in all major cities across India, as well as in the USA, Korea, Europe, and Japan. The company exports to more than 100 countries and is widely recognised for its constant drive for efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, making it a global force in specialty films manufacturing around the world.

Introducing X-Trim: Efficiency from the Start

In 2010, Cosmo Films chose X-Trim, Greycon’s trim optimisation solution, to streamline their slitting planning operations and reduce waste, while increasing ROA. At the time, the decision marked a bold step in leveraging software for production optimisation, a strategy that proved not only forward-thinking but vital to supporting their profitability.

With X-Trim, Cosmo Films was able to:

1. Reduce trim waste and minimise costs.
2. Minimise the number of jumbo rolls produced to meet customer expectations & improve overall ROA.
3. Speed up the planning process for slitting operations
4. Handle complex order combinations, comprising substrate films, metallised films and coated thermal films. X-Trim’s ability to create a single model for the end-to-end production process was a significant factor in Cosmo’s selection criteria.

These benefits translated into a tangible competitive advantage, enabling Cosmo Films to meet market demand variability while maintaining operational efficiency.

Supporting Long-Term Growth

Over the past 15 years, Cosmo Films has expanded its manufacturing footprint and product portfolio, all while continuing to rely on X-Trim for intelligent planning of slitting operations. Greycon has remained a trusted technology partner through this evolution, supporting Cosmo Films with upgrades, training, and ongoing optimisation of the solution.

Continuing the Journey

Cosmo Films’ decision to implement X-Trim 15 years ago marked a turning point, not just for their operations, but also for Greycon’s presence in the region.

Today, as both companies continue to evolve, our partnership remains strong. Greycon is proud to support Cosmo Films with cutting-edge solutions tailored to the complex demands of film production. This long-standing collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation, efficiency, and continuous improvement, and stands as a powerful example of what’s possible through trusted, long-term partnerships.
