Company Profile
Borkars is a group with a diversified presence in Packaging, Retailing and Real Estate Division. The group has been growing continuously at the rate of 35 % p.a. Borkars started off with a small retail kiosk in 1910 in Goa. 35 years later in the year 1945, a printing unit was set up followed by a series of successes. Thereafter Printing and Packaging went on to become the group's core competency.

Retailing business was eventually expanded and by virtue of our supermarkets we introduced the concept of one stop shopping in Margao-Goa. Real Estate division was established in early 1980s. Today our Apartment buildings and Commercial Complexes dominate Goa's skyline. The newest company to join the Borkar Group is Montana Confectioneries, the product portfolio includes typical Goan pastries and other food items.

Mastering the fifth 'P'
Borkar Packaging has successfully transformed itself from a printing firm to a packaging pioneer.

The powerhouse of the organization is its state-of-the-art factory located in Daman near the Indian state of Gujarat. This hi-tech plant has the most modern and sophisticated machines such as MAN ROLAND of Germany with an inline coater. The other balancing machines and equipments constituting relevant processes such as punching, embossing, pasting, foiling have also been imported from BOBST, a renowned organization in Switzerland. The plant is equipped with a Research cell, which conducts studies for indigenisation of ancillary equipments - UV varnishing machines have been internally developed reflecting a pioneering effort in the Packaging processes.

Borkars have always endeavored to provide the best to their clients, be it in the area of technology, quality or service. This determination has led to acquisition of the latest technology coming up in the Packaging industry in all the areas of packaging development. The BOBST SP-102 BMA Foilmaster is one such example. This machine, the first of its kind in India, is the most modern foiling machine with a holographic attachment which serves the purpose of enhancing the appearance of the carton and with the provision of hot-stamping of holograms on to the cartons, this proves to be a reliable shield against counterfeiters who have today contaminated the markets with their fake and pass-offs, thus damaging the credibility of the real popular brand.

The group is fairly diversified in a few other businesses but it believes that its core competence is in the area of 'Packaging.' It is in this area; their "vision" and "mission", statements have been framed and transmitted to every single link in the Organization. With a planned leap-frog growth, the Borkars objectives is to be a very dominant, visible and well accepted leader in India and abroad is not too distant a future.
