History

In 1972 when FCBM, the national level body was founded, the corrugated packaging industry was still unorganized with a large number of small units scattered across the country. Pioneering efforts by some leading corrugators in their respective regions resulted in the formation of regional associations of corrugated box manufacturers which provided much needed collective strength and synergy.

The success of the national body, gave momentum to other regions to form their own regional associations under the aegis of the national body. As a result within a few years time the present structure with regional associations representing the local areas and federated under a national body, evolved. The regional chapters today cover the length and breadth of India, and have over the years derived strength from their collective union and simultaneously given it strength.

FCBM as the national body, took up the role of representing the Industry to the Central Government and also became a common ground for interaction of the various constituents of the Federation while the regional associations have their own agenda. This two tier structure has not diluted the role of the regional associations but in fact strengthened them by allowing them to focus on regional issues with the confidence that their national level interests were taken care of.
