China-based Guangdong FKT Smarttech highlighted India’s growing importance as a key market for high-end packaging machinery, particularly for luxury box production used in cosmetics, perfumes and gift packaging at Pamex 2026.
Sonia He, sales director of Guangdong FKT Smarttech, described Pamex as one of the most professional trade shows for the printing and packaging sector in India, noting that the event attracts a strong base of industry buyers and decision-makers.
She said the company had previously participated in the exhibition over a decade ago through other representatives and had now returned with its own operations to strengthen its presence in the Indian market.
Guangdong FKT Smarttech specializes in machines used for manufacturing rigid and luxury boxes, commonly used in premium packaging segments such as perfumes, cosmetics and high-end gift items. The company showcased several box-making machines at the exhibition aimed at packaging converters serving the luxury goods sector.
According to He, the company has already established a notable footprint in India, with dozens of machines installed across the country. Industry estimates suggest installations could exceed 100 units when both large and smaller machines are counted.
The company works with several major packaging firms in India and collaborates with local partners to expand its sales and service network. The strategy reflects the growing demand for high-quality packaging solutions driven by the expansion of the cosmetics, fragrance and premium gifting industries.
