en.Wedoany.com Reported - Beckers Group, through its joint venture Berger-Becker Coatings, has commissioned a resin manufacturing facility focused on sustainable technologies in Nagpur, India. The plant was inaugurated on May 28, 2026, by Fabio Pedrazzi, CEO of Lindéngruppen, as part of the company's strategic initiative to expand capacity, enhance supply chain resilience, and advance sustainable coating technologies.
The Nagpur plant is scheduled to commence commercial production in the third quarter of 2026, with an initial annual capacity of 9,000 metric tons of polyester resin, planned to expand to 14,000 metric tons. Designed with next-generation automation, environmental control, and safety systems, the facility aims to produce renewable and recycled-content resins using feedstocks such as recycled PET and Wet IPA. Renewable raw materials are expected to account for 5% to 10% of total inputs, aligning with Beckers Group's strategic goal of improving resource efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of coil coatings.
With growing demand in the construction, appliance, and infrastructure sectors, India has become a key growth market for Beckers Group. The new plant aims to meet this demand by supplying high-performance resins, which are critical components for enhancing the durability, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance of coil coatings.
Eric Fouissac, President of Beckers Group Asia and Middle East, emphasized the significance of this investment for regional development, stating that India is a key pillar of the company's global growth strategy. Rajesh Mehrotra, Managing Director of Berger-Becker Coatings, noted that the new plant will strengthen the company's ability to meet growing customer demand, enhance supply chain independence, and introduce tailored advanced resin technologies for the Indian market. The commissioning of the new plant will reinforce Beckers Group's global capabilities and solidify its joint venture's position in the Indian market. As a cornerstone of coil coating performance, the high-quality resins produced at this facility will support circular material flows and sustainable advancements in coating technologies.
