Sekisui Chemical has decided to establish sixth plant in India for 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 US$ 3 million, and it is expected to go into operation in January 2026.

Sekisui Chemical’s High Performance Plastics Company 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, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sekisui Chemical, handles this business within the Sekisui Chemical Group.

Through the effects of operation of the Pune Plant and other factors, Sekisui DLJM Molding aims to achieve net sales of US$ 130 million in fiscal 2030.
