Keep reading...Stahl today announces the reopening of its Ranipet plant in India. This milestone marks a significant step in the company’s transformation journey and reinforces the strategic importance of its presence in India, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies.
Originally opened in April 2000, the Ranipet plant remained operational until its closure in 2019. Having divested its wet-end leather business, the plant has now officially reopened with a focus on finishing and high-performance coatings and packaging.
“The reopening of our Ranipet site is an important milestone in Stahl’s transformation journey,” said Maarten Heijbroek, CEO of Stahl. “This investment reflects our strategic focus and aligns our capabilities with future market demands. Being able to produce locally in India – an essential growth market – strengthens our position and enables us to better support our customers with tailored, innovative solutions.”
The newly renovated Ranipet facility brings together coating formulation production, research and development, and laboratory and application testing capabilities under one roof.
