In the year 1906, a small foil manufacturing plant named 'Venesta Foils' was set up on the banks of the river Hooghly at Kamarhati, Calcutta. In the 1960's, it got a new name, India Foils Limited, and started spreading its reach far and wide into the very heart of the industry. From those early pre-independence beginnings, began the legacy of India Foils Ltd, which soon became the largest producer of Aluminium Foil in Asia. Today, every specification used in packaging in India has been innovated and developed by IFL.
