Georgia-Pacific Resins and Kemrock Industries team up

US BASED Georgia-Pacific Resins Inc (GPRI) and Kemrock Industries and Exports Ltd of India are joining forces to supply resins to India and the surrounding regions.

The two organisations are forming a new company, Georgia-Pacific Kemrock International Pvt Ltd, to supply thermosetting resins to India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). GPRI is licensing its phenolic resins technology to Kemrock for the composites, coated abrasives and foundry markets.

The products will be manufactured at Kemrock’s facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, India, and distributed by Georgia-Pacific Kemrock International, which will also offer polyesters, vinyl esters and epoxies manufactured by Kemrock.

"This investment further expands our business globally by marketing our combined resin technology to key industrial segments of the rapidly expanding Indian and regional markets," notes Peter Williams, GPRI's vice president of speciality resins and international business.

"We strongly believe that this relationship will help us expand our reach into speciality industrial markets and realise our vision of being a one stop customised composites solution for India and nearby regions," says Kalpesh Patel, chairman and managing director of Kemrock.
