Recticel India Pvt. Ltd. officially inaugurated
On Sunday, November 13, 2011,
the new conversion plant of
Recticel Flexible Foams in Mumbai
was officially inaugurated.
As India is one of the fastest growing
economies worldwide with a
predicted average GDP growth of 6%
for the next 10 to 20 years it is a huge
potential industrial and consumer
market. Recticel Flexible Foams will
trade and convert mainly technical
flexible polyurethane foams for the
local market.
The 6000m² plant which is located
in Taloja, Navi Mumbai, close to
the Nhava Shiva port of Mumbai,
will be equipped with state of the
art conversion machinery (cutting,
profiling, laminating, compressing
and more) to service different market
segments with high technological
foam solutions.
While Recticel is already market
leader in India for air filter foams
in the automotive sector, it will also
focus on other profitable technical
segments such as acoustics.
Recticel India Pvt. Ltd. currently also
has a local sales office in Bangalore
and will open up a new warehouse
and converting unit in the course
of 2012 to service the South Indian
market.
The official opening ceremony of
the Mumbai plant, which took place
onsite, was attended by a large
delegation of Flemish officials, led
by the Flemish Minister President
Kris Peeters and Karl Van den
Bossche, Consul-General of Belgium
