Aditya Birla Group’s (Mumbai, India) Advanced Materials business globally manufacturers epoxy resins and allied specialty products. Recently the group announced its plans to invest in increasing business capacity by ~125 KTPA (kilo-tonnes per annum) through a brown field expansion — purchasing or leasing existing production facilities to launch a new production activity — at the company’s existing location in Vilayat, Gujarat, India.
The company says it will include standard and specialty epoxy products along with curing agents. This is in addition to the group’s existing manufacturing sites at Rayong — Thailand and Russelsheim — Germany. Aditya Birla Group expects to continue to play a proactive role in growing and supporting growth and demand in this area.
Aditya Birla Advanced Materials boasts a wide-ranging product portfolio from base epoxy resins and building blocks, to customized specialty systems for use in application segments like coatings, construction, composites, electrical and electronics.
