Duroplast opens cutting-edge uPVC extrusion facility in Howrah

Duroplast India, a prominent player in the construction and infrastructure sector, is delighted to announce the grand opening of its cutting-edge facility in Howrah, West Bengal.

This new establishment marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey of innovation and expansion. Duroplast’s latest venture focuses on manufacturing highly energy-efficient uPVC window profiles, aligning seamlessly with the increasing demand for sustainable and modern construction solutions.

A notable aspect of this inauguration is the strategic location of the facility. Positioned near the operational extrusion plant of the system supplier since 2010, this location offers key advantages for Duroplast. The synergy between these facilities ensures a streamlined supply chain, reducing lead times and enhancing production efficiency.

To meet the rising demand and extend their presence in both the Indian and African markets, Duroplast invested a substantial 40 crores in constructing their state-of-the-art uPVC profile extrusion factory in Howrah. This expansive facility covers an impressive 1,50,000 square feet and currently houses ten extrusion lines, with plans to add six more in the coming year. Going beyond, the company has introduced automated mixing, a SCADA-based conveying system, and a foiling line for window profile finishing. This expansion enables Duroplast to produce an impressive 8,000 tonnes of profiles, catering to the construction of 100,000 homes annually.

The facility has the potential to accommodate up to 15 uPVC extrusion lines, expand to an impressive 3,00,000 square feet, and introduce another 30 lines to meet the ever-growing demand. It offers ample logistical space and features a state-of-the-art technical training centre for partner firms. Neeraj Agarwal, Duroplast’s Managing Director, takes immense pride in declaring it one of India’s largest window profile extrusion facilities.

Lalit Agarwal, the company’s chairman, has ambitious plans to invest in infrastructure, new product development, and brand building to establish market dominance. Duroplast’s product portfolio includes various series, emphasising using a specialised, high-quality lead-free compound to combat discolouration due to the region’s high UV radiation. They also offer a range of window systems that adhere to international quality standards.

Duroplast goes beyond manufacturing; they are committed to educating their customers, architects, real estate developers, and contractors about the benefits of uPVC window systems. The company underscores the importance of adhering to quality and standards as per BS EN 12606 or the newly published IS 17953, ensuring that every project they are involved in meets the highest quality and safety standards.

Mehul Agarwal, the second Director of the company, sees the new extrusion plant as a vital step toward the “Made in India” campaign and a pathway to building a five trillion-dollar economy. Duroplast is committed to expanding its production and service capabilities across India, contributing to its growth and development.
