INOX India Ltd (INOXCVA) has achieved a significant milestone as its Savli Plant in Gujarat has received manufacturing approvals from two of the world’s largest brewery majors – Heineken and AB InBev. This landmark development comes less than two years after INOX India made its foray into the beverage keg segment in September 2023, and underlines the company’s swift rise in the global beverage packaging industry.

A Strong Beginning in Beverage Keg Manufacturing

Though a relatively recent entrant in the keg market, INOXCVA has long-standing expertise in cryogenic technology and stainless-steel handling, with over 30 years of welding and engineering know-how. This expertise, combined with a newly commissioned, state-of-the-art plant at Savli, equipped with large-scale manufacturing capabilities, laid a solid foundation for the company’s quick success.

Recognition from Global Brewing Giants

The endorsements from Heineken and AB InBev – both global titans in the beverage space – validate INOX India’s manufacturing processes, quality standards, and compliance with global benchmarks. These approvals were the result of rigorous multi-week audit processes, where plant protocols were assessed across multiple dimensions like:

• Cleanliness and hygiene standards

• Staff qualifications and operational expertise

• Traceability and quality assurance systems

• Material and testing infrastructure

The ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSSC 22000 certifications added credibility to the facility and played a pivotal role in achieving global approvals.

Path Cleared for Global Commercial Engagements

With these approvals, INOX India is now officially eligible to engage commercially with Heineken and AB InBev. This positions the company not just as a supplier, but as a strategic partner for global beverage brands looking for quality, reliability, and sustainability in packaging.

INOX India’s leadership is confident that the Savli plant will become a preferred global sourcing destination, especially due to competitive pricing, customization capabilities, and geographic proximity to key markets in Asia and Europe.

CEO’s Statement on Strategic Milestone

Deepak Acharya, CEO of INOX India Ltd, shared his thoughts on this significant development, stating:

“These approvals from two of the world’s leading breweries mark a defining moment in our journey into the beverage keg space. It validates our belief in our manufacturing prowess and reinforces our position as a credible, high-quality, and future-ready partner for the global beverage industry.”

He also mentioned that INOX has already invested in tooling and custom branding capabilities such as logo embossing and laser engraving, to meet the unique identity and branding requirements of international beverage customers.
