(President and Representative Director: Keita Kato; "SEKISUI CHEMICAL") has decided to establish sixth plant in India for SEKISUI DLJM MOLDING PRIVATE LIMITED ("SEKISUI DLJM MOLDING"), which manufactures and sells injection molded products for automobiles in Pune, Maharashtra in western India. The investment for establishing the new plant is approximately 3 million USD, and it is expected to go into operation in January 2026.
1. Background and Objectives
SEKISUI CHEMICAL’s High Performance Plastics Company (President: Akira Asano) has positioned the injection molding business within the mobility field, which is a strategic sector, as a key business. With the aim of expanding this business in India, SEKISUI DLJM MOLDING was established as a joint venture with Dipty Lal Judge Mal Private Limited, a local company, in August 2011 and commenced operations. Since then, the area of business has expanded in conjunction with increasing motorization in India. SEKISUI CHEMICAL has decided to establish a new plant in the Pune area, where many automobile manufacturers are concentrated and growth is expected. As a result, production capacity in India will increase by approximately 15% and business will expand even further. SEKISUI TECHNO MOLDING CO., LTD. (President: Jun Yamazaki; “SEKISUI TECHNO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEKISUI CHEMICAL, handles this business within the SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group.
