Paints maker Akzo Nobel has strengthened its footprint in India with the commissioning of a new plant in Gwalior to make decorative paints.
The greenfield facility, Akzo’s sixth plant in India, has been built at an investment of Rs 140 crore. It has an annual capacity of 55 million litres.
Amit Jain, Managing Director, Akzo Nobel India, said that the plant will provide cost-effective access to key markets in the northern and central parts of the country. It will reinforce their strategy to expand distribution of its Dulux brand, he added.
The sustainability features of the new facility include rain water harvesting, energy efficient pumping systems and 20 per cent of the roofing area designed to let natural light in, reducing the requirement of artificial lighting.
