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.
