orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- Mold-Tek Packaging operates mostly on a rolling order basis with major clients, who give monthly orders based on demand. - There is no fixed or large pending order book as such; smaller clients place orders periodically based on their needs. - Major clients like Asian Paints and others have open orders with monthly price revisions linked to raw material fluctuations. - The company maintains an open order system rather than a backlog of pending orders. - This approach allows flexibility in managing production according to client requirements without accumulating a large pending order book.
