Another prominent line for the company is Etain . Also aimed at meeting the company ’ s sustainability goals , the tubes are fully-recyclable and manufactured with a certain level of recycled plastic , cutting down on the amount of virgin plastic that goes into Essel ’ s manufacturing process . The company says the product line is typically used to package a range of beauty and skin care , pharmaceutical and food products .
While these represent some of the newest product lines from Essel Propack America , they are by no means the only successful ones . In 2013 , the company ’ s Europe division was awarded “ Tube of the Year ” by the European Tube Manufacturer ’ s Association for “ its stunning design reproduction , with color vibrancy and metallic sheen .” That tube is being used by L ’ OREAL for their new “ EverRiche ” line .
Armed with these impressive offerings , the company is rapidly expanding from its regional base in Virginia . At 300 employees and over $ 70 million in revenue , the company has more than doubled in size in five years . Still , they show few signs of slowing down .
In the company ’ s most recent annual report , Chairman Subhash Chandra said , “ There is a saying : ‘ Growth is a spiral process , doubling back on itself , re-assessing and re-grouping .’ Over the last six to seven years , Essel has done just that .”
