🌾 GLEN Industries IPO — Paper Straws, Plastic Profits, and a ₹233 Cr Market Cap Dream

📌 At a Glance

GLEN Industries is rolling out a ₹63 Cr fresh issue only IPO at ₹92–₹97 per share, with zero anchor bids (yes, literally ₹0.00 Cr from big boys). The company makes eco-friendly food packaging — mostly thin-wall containers and compostable straws. With a 113% PAT jump in FY25 and margins smoother than a butter dosa, the company looks tasty. But is it sustainable, or is this just IPO buffet season?

1. 🧃 WTF Do They Even Do?

• Makes eco-packaging for HoReCa, beverages, food industry
• Core products: Thin-wall food containers & compostable straws (paper + PLA)
• Current production capacity: 665 MT/month containers, 255 MT/month straws
• New 90,000 sq. ft. facility in Dhulagarh = expansion ready
• Target markets: India, EU, USA, Australia, Middle East
• Client base: 25 loyal clients — not huge, but focused

TL;DR: They’re anti-plastic with plastic ambitions — selling green dreams in brown cartons.
