With decades of industry experience since 1993, the company has, since June 2016, evolved into a comprehensive and Bespoke System Integration Solution provider serving businesses across diverse sectors.

The name “Ananya” translates to “Unique” in Sanskrit, while “Manntrana” signifies “Consultation”. An apt company name encapsulates “Bespoke System Integration” solutions tailored to global clients within the food processing, packaging, and automation domains.

System integration empowers clients to select technologies, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and solutions that align seamlessly with their project success matrices. Our vendor-agnostic approach facilitates the delivery of this value to our esteemed clients.

The experience behind Ananya Manntrana is built on a professional journey that began in 1993 at Nichrome Metal Works in Pune, where early exposure to customer engineering challenges laid a strong foundation in packaging technologies. This foundation was further strengthened through key roles at ITW Signode and BOSCH Packaging, where deep expertise was developed in Key Account Management, New Product Development, and Project Management.

The journey continued with the successful establishment of a packaging machinery business for Heat & Control in India, which later expanded into food processing technologies. This was followed by leading system integration projects across Asia for a renowned Australian company specialising in processing and packaging systems.

Subsequently, the experience expanded into a global leadership role in technical solutions at an engineering services firm, and later as Country Manager – India for Symtech, overseeing brownfield, greenfield, and capital projects for blue-chip clients across India and Asia.

These decades of cross-functional, hands-on experience form the core of Ananya Manntrana’s strength as a specialised, end-to-end system integration solution provider.

Fueled by a deep passion for system design, integration, and engineering in the processing, packaging, and automation domains, Ananya Manntrana LLP was founded in 2015. Since its inception, the company has played a pivotal role in supporting global food processing companies with innovative solutions, embodying the founder’s unwavering commitment to excellence in these fields.

Merchandising Automation Center

Our client sought a novel solution to ensure the availability of their numerous SKUs to end customers in supermarket aisles, in addition to shelves. The current product display methods on shelves differ from those in aisles, where all five sides (four sides plus the top) must be accessible to customers traversing the aisle. Given this constraint, our client desired to ensure that the quantity of products in various packages is adaptable to the specific supermarket location and sales requirements. Conventional packaging was unable to address these constraints, necessitating a bespoke secondary, tertiary, and end-of-line packaging solution. This presented an ideal opportunity for Ananya Manntrana to contribute bespoke system design and integration solutions.

Innovative Chocolate Line

Conceived from a seemingly innocuous inquiry: “Can chocolate be produced with minimal or no moving parts and no stationary equipment on the ground?” Clients sought to design a futuristic chocolate line that would address contemporary challenges faced by conventional chocolate production processes. While the question appeared straightforward, it entailed a multitude of intricate complexities that necessitated innovative solutions. This resulted in the development of the most advanced decoupled chocolate lines, devoid of conventional conveyors and moving parts. These lines were designed through the utilization of robots for unit operations and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for the transportation of work-in-progress (WIP) goods between multiple unit operations.

Market Entry Strategy

A European animal protein processing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sought a market entry strategy for India. Extensive secondary research led to the development of a suitable strategy, resulting in significant cost savings for the client. This strategy, with its strong growth potential and total addressable market (TAM), enabled the client to deploy a comprehensive, long-term business plan for the Indian market.

Snack Packing Line Automation

A global snack producer sought to design and install a small-pack snack packaging line by integrating a distribution system, VFFS, and secondary, tertiary, and end-of-line automation machines sourced from emerging market OEMs. The project covered the entire lifecycle, from initiation to handover, with the objective of achieving the most economical per-pack cost compared to their existing lines, serving as a blueprint for future expansions.
