The facility, situated on 16 acres of land in MIDC, Sinnar, with over 100,000 square feet of built?up area, is a food manufacturing plant, producing nearly 5,000 tons of soups, meal?makers, energy beverages and other dry powder products annually, serving various FMCG companies in India. To facilitate business consolidation and leverage recent developments, the Board of Directors in a meeting held on September 24, 2024 decided to demerge ACPL's Nashik plant into Hindustan Foods.
Hindustan Foods specializes in setting up one-stop contract manufacturing solutions and the ability to consistently deliver quality products.
