Stahl is investing in a €1 million expansion in India to support current double digit growth to meet the ever increasing demand for its innovative products and leather processing and finishing solutions.
Production facilities at Ranipet and R&D and applications laboratory facilities in Chennai will both benefit from this investment. The new facilities are expected to open during the first quarter of 2013.
The new laboratories in Chennai will ensure that customers receive the high level of services that they require and can also receive on-site training.
The design of the new buildings and installations contributes to Stahl's sustainability pledge and to making the most efficient use of resources. The laboratories are partially cooled using natural air flow. Elsewhere, full use is made of solar power and wherever possible rainwater is collected and stored for future use. The most energy efficient materials have been selected for installation throughout the new building.
Stahl is confident that the Indian leather industry is still booming and supports this growth by ensuring timely supply and service close to its customers.
Stahl is a customer-focused company that specialises in providing high quality coatings for leather, flexible and non-flexible substrates, textiles and related products. Stahl also produces chemicals and dyes for the processing of leather.
