Jay Wood Industry (JWI), a manufacturer of engineered industrial packaging and wooden pallets, has strengthened its ISPM-15 heat-treatment infrastructure with IN-003 HT and IN-038 HT registrations and approval for the change of location of IN-707 HT to its manufacturing facility at Kosamba, Gujarat. The approvals have been issued under the Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (DPPQ&S), Ministry of Agriculture. ISPM-15 sets phytosanitary requirements for wood packaging materials used in international trade and applies to products such as pallets, crates and dunnage.
The expanded infrastructure will enable JWI to supply heat-treated wooden packaging to manufacturers and exporters shipping products to the European Union, North America and other international markets. The company said its multi-location operations in Maharashtra and Gujarat will also support customers located near major export corridors including Mundra, Hazira and Nhava Sheva.
“For over 33 years, Jay Wood Industry has been driven by a single purpose: to eliminate packaging-related risk from global manufacturing and exports,” said Jay Shah, Managing Director & CEO, Jay Wood Industry. “In global trade, compliance is not a checkbox—it is a non-negotiable license to operate. With IN-003 HT and IN-038 HT, and now the approval for change of location of IN-707 HT to our Kosamba facility in Gujarat, we are strengthening our compliant manufacturing infrastructure and expanding our ability to support exporters with reliable, high-quality and internationally compliant wooden packaging solutions.”
JWI said export-compliant packaging can help manufacturers reduce the risk of shipment delays, re-treatment, repacking and other costs arising from phytosanitary non-compliance. The company provides packaging solutions for sectors including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, FMCG, automotive components and heavy engineering.
The Kosamba facility gives JWI closer access to industrial clusters in Surat, Hazira, Vadodara, Vapi and Ahmedabad. Together with its Maharashtra operations, the network is designed to provide manufacturing capacity across two states and support high-volume export requirements.
JWI said marking and documentation are important elements of ISPM-15 compliance. A September 2026 guidance paper from the International Union of Marine Insurance noted that marking and documentation gaps accounted for 82% of ISPM-15 non-compliance notifications in German export data between 2023 and September 2025. The company has more than 33 years of experience in industrial packaging and holds ISPM-15 heat-treatment registrations IN-003 HT and IN-038 HT, along with the approved relocation of IN-707 HT to Kosamba.
JWI is also the first EPAL license holder in India, with License IND-007, and the first Indian company granted Level 2 self-control rights for EPAL packaging. It is a PEFC-certified pallet manufacturer and uses sustainably sourced timber for its pallet products. Its manufacturing operations are supported by ISO 9001 quality management systems and automated production facilities, including solar-powered operations at its flagship facility. JWI provides engineered industrial packaging, wooden pallets and supply chain solutions to Indian and international exporters.
