Brand Powerhouse in RAK

The establishment of JBF RAK has provided India’s JBF Industries a springboard to pursue its ambition to access to the global market.

JBF Group, founded in 1982, has grown to become an industry leader in manufacturing polyester chips and is now ranked one of the top five players in India’s polyester market through its production of partially oriented yarns (POY). JBF’s backward-integrated projects in manufacturing polyester chips have helped the group increase its turnover by a factor of 250 since JBF became a publicly limited company in 1986.

JBF chose Ras Al Khaimah as its base in the Middle East and began production there in 2007. Cheerag Arya, CEO of JBF RAK LLC, explains, “The company found that project costs in RAK are around 20% to 25% lower than in other Middle East countries, mainly on account of RAK’s better logistics, low overheads and lack of bureaucratic delays.”

JBF RAK LLC is a state-of-the-art site dedicated to polyester packaging applications, namely SSP bottle grade resins and BOPET films. The company has built up expertise in providing industrial raw material for polyester packaging application mainly to the Food & Beverage industry.

JBF RAK LLC produces 400,000 tons per annum (TPA) of bottle grade PET Resin and 100,000 TPA of BOPET Film, under the brand name ARYA PET. The state-of-the-art plant has been designed and built with the most modern technology from UOP SINCO, Italy and DORNIER, Germany.

All measures have been incorporated to ensure that all the emissions are kept to the standard of the strictest environmental regulations in the world.

“We have around 800 employees striving to provide world-class quality products and services to our global accounts. We serve the leading converters and the brand owners in key markets like North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. We have been moving forward aggressively on many fronts, to capitalise on solid-growth opportunities, to improve our operating efficiency and expand our global presence to sharpen our business portfolio.
