A Brief History
For close to a century Division India Foils has been one of the largest producers and pioneers of Aluminium Foil in Asia. A force to reckon with in the field of Aluminium foil manufacturing, Division India Foils was born as Venesta Foils in Kamarhati, near Calcutta, on the bank of the river Hooghly in 1905.

Ess Dee Aluminium on the other hand, started in 1991 with 12 employees and a unit for making sachets for Oral Rehydration Powders. This humble beginning went on to become one of modern India’s most inspiring success stories as Ess Dee grew and expanded into the most influential player in the Aluminium Packaging business finally acquiring and absorbing Division India Foils under its umbrella in 2008.
Ess Dee was the first in India to manufacture dedicated high-end pharmaceutical packaging products like Cold Form Blister and Child-Resistant-Blister packaging. The company’s product portfolio has significantly enhanced since then, now covering a wide range of sophisticated and technologically advanced products.
