Made in Sandila — Uttar Pradesh’s new food-manufacturing hub

Sandila, in Hardoi district on the Lucknow–Hardoi highway, has become the food-manufacturing hub of central Uttar Pradesh: the UPSIDA estate hosts national snack, beverage, dairy and packaged-food plants alongside Berger Paints and other industrial units, with worker dormitories and lab services developing around them. Kanpur adds established namkeen and sweet manufacturers with export experience.

Wedge Industries Limited sources from ISO 22000 or BRCGS-certified plants in the cluster and manages the label-compliance review that decides whether a snack pack clears US FDA or EU import checks.

Packing, cartons & shipping

Retail pouches packed 12–24 per printed carton, cartons palletised and shrink-wrapped; papad in inner boxes of 10. A 40-ft container carries roughly 8–10 MT of light snacks by volume, so mixed loads with heavier lines (sweets, papad, nuts) improve freight cost per kg.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make my own brand of namkeen?

Yes — private-label pouches from 150 g with your artwork, adapted by our team for the nutrition and allergen rules of your market. MOQ is 1,000 kg per product.

What shelf life do the products carry?

Six to nine months for fried snacks and chips under nitrogen flush, and twelve months for papad and long-life sweets. Shipping by sea uses about five weeks of that, which we factor into production timing.

Are the products Halal?

Yes — the plants we use are Halal certified, and the certificate accompanies every shipment to the Gulf and Malaysia.

Can I mix products in one container?

Yes, and we recommend it: light snacks fill a container by volume before weight, so mixing in sweets, papad and nuts brings the freight cost per kg down.

How do I get a firm quote from this Indian namkeen and snacks exporter?

Use the enquiry form on this page with your quantity, destination and specification. Wedge Industries Limited replies within 24 hours with an FOB quotation, the compliance checklist for your market and a sample offer.
