Beckers Group inaugurates renewable resin plant in India through Berger-Becker joint venture
Beckers Group has launched a new resin manufacturing plant in Nagpur, India, in partnership with Berger Paints. The facility is set to produce sustainable polyester resins for coil coatings, supporting the region’s growing demand for advanced materials.
Beckers Group has announced the opening of a state-of-the-art resin manufacturing plant in Nagpur, India, through its joint venture Berger-Becker Coatings. Inaugurated by Fabio Pedrazzi, CEO of Lindéngruppen, on 28 May 2026, the facility marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand its production capacity, enhance supply chain resilience, and advance sustainable coating technologies.
The Nagpur plant will begin commercial production in Q3 2026, with an initial capacity of 9,000 metric tons of polyester resins per year and plans to expand to 14,000 metric tons annually. Designed with next-generation automation, environmental controls, and safety systems, the facility will produce renewable and recycled-content resins, leveraging feedstocks like recycled PET and Wet IPA. Renewable raw materials are expected to make up 5-10 % of the input, aligning with Beckers Group’s commitment to resource efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of coil coatings.
Focus on sustainability and advanced resin technologies
India has become a critical growth market for Beckers Group due to increasing demand from construction, appliances, and infrastructure sectors. The Nagpur plant aims to address this demand by offering high-performance resins, which are key to enhancing coil coatings’ durability, corrosion resistance, and weatherability.
Eric Fouissac, President Asia & Middle East at Beckers Group, highlighted the regional importance of this investment. “India is a critical pillar of our global growth strategy, and this project demonstrates our long-term commitment to the region.” Rajesh Mehrotra, Managing Director of Berger-Becker Coatings, added, “The new plant will enhance our ability to meet increasing customer demand, strengthen our supply chain independence, and introduce advanced resin technologies tailored for the Indian market.”
Strengthening global and local market presence
The Nagpur facility not only contributes to Beckers Group’s global capabilities but also strengthens the joint venture’s position in the Indian market. As the backbone of coil coatings performance, high-quality resins produced at the plant are set to support circular material flows and sustainable advancements in coatings technology.
