Greater Noida-based Kanchan Metals (KMPL) is dedicated to offering end-to-end solutions to India’s food processing companies.
The company was established in 1984 as an international trading company in non-ferrous metals out of Kolkata and promoted by Sanjeev Gupta, director, Kanchan Metals, and his brother. Speaking of the company’s journey to date, Gupta said, “We became technology partners for leading food producers in India and started offering customization solutions, automation-related technologies, and new products.
