India Emerging as a Prominent Sourcing Destination for Fluid Flexitanks
Although the history of flexitanks dates back to the 1970s, it is in the recent times that India has emerged as a manufacturing hub for flexitanks, on a global scale.
In today’s globalization era, there is an increasing need for efficient storage and transportation of liquids leading to a considerable rise in the demand for flexitanks as they are easily transportable, foldable and are fairly simple to setup. With India being one of the foremost suppliers of flexitank bags; it has opened the gateway for trading in innovative ideas as well as receiving international recognition.
India as a Trusted Flexitank Manufacturer
The use of flexitanks for the transportation of bulk liquid cargo has grown immensely over the last decade. These bags also prove to be a more cost-friendly solution, when compared to ISO tanks and drums as they help companies lower their costs for transporting non-hazardous liquid and other items.
