Beckers Group has opened a new state-of-the-art resin manufacturing facility in Nagpur, India, through its joint venture Berger-Becker Coatings, marking a major step in its global expansion and sustainability strategy.

 

The plant was inaugurated on 28 May 2026 by Fabio Pedrazzi, CEO of Lindéngruppen, and is designed to strengthen production capacity, improve supply chain resilience, and accelerate the rollout of more sustainable coating technologies worldwide. 

 

Commercial production is set to begin in Q3 2026, with output gradually scaling up to around 9,000 metric tons of polyester resins per year, with further capacity expansion planned.

 

“This facility reflects our ambition to lead the industry – not only in volumes, but in innovation, sustainability and customer value,” said Eric Fouissac, President Asia & Middle East at Beckers Group. “India is a critical pillar of our global growth strategy, and this project demonstrates our long-term commitment to the region.”

 

The Nagpur facility features next-generation automation, advanced safety systems, and environmental controls, positioning it as a key hub for both Beckers Group’s global operations and Berger-Becker Coatings’ local presence in India. 

 

The country remains one of the company’s fastest-growing markets, driven by rising demand from construction, appliances, and infrastructure sectors.

 

At the core of the investment is a focus on high-performance resins, essential to coil coating applications where durability, corrosion resistance, and weatherability are critical. The new plant will also produce renewable and recycled-content resins aimed at reducing environmental impact and supporting circular material flows. 

 

These include recycled PET, Wet IPA, and other alternative feedstocks designed to improve resource efficiency and lower carbon emissions compared with traditional petrochemical-based resins. Renewable raw materials are expected to make up 5–10% of inputs at the facility initially.

 

“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 We extend a special thank you to our partner, Berger Paints, for their exceptional support throughout the project” said Rajesh Mehrotra, Managing Director at Berger-Becker Coatings.
