Nichrome, a leading packaging machinery manufacturer and the pioneer in form fill seal machines in India, recently won the Machinery Design, Development and Innovation Award 2012 conferred by IPMMI (Institute of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers of India).

Nichrome won this award for the development of high speed oil packing machine - Filpack SMD. It is a double head model with an output of up to 70 packs per minute.
