Lubrizol and FinOlex Industries Join Hands to Process
FlowGuard(®) Branded CPVC Pipes and Fittings in India
CLEVELAND and Pune INDIA, February 15, 2017 - The Lubrizol Corporation,
inventors and the largest manufacturers of CPVC compound worldwide, and FinOlex
Industries Limited, India's largest PVC pipes and fittings manufacturer,
announce the signing of a FlowGuard(® )Processor agreement for the manufacturing
and sale of FinOlex FlowGuard(®) Plus CPVC pipes and fittings in India. The
product will be launched in the market by FinOlex Industries in April 2017 and
will cater to housing and real estate segments.
"Lubrizol is dedicated to supplying the highest quality CPVC compounds to
service the Indian hot & cold water plumbing markets," explains Matthew Timmons,
managing director, Lubrizol Advanced Materials India Pvt. Ltd. "Our partnership
with FinOlex Industries highlights the need and importance of quality CPVC pipes
and fittings made from time-tested CPVC compounds provided by Lubrizol. Since
January 2016, we have been manufacturing these world quality materials from a
state-of-the art plant in Dahej, Gujarat. Our association with FinOlex will
further strengthen FlowGuard's commitment to delivering reliability in India
through FinOlex's wide spread network in the country."
Timmons continues, "Since we introduced FlowGuard to the Indian market, we
remained committed through our support of processors who continue to benefit
from our more than 50 years of expertise in manufacturing and compounding.
Additionally, with the government's recent focus on housing for all, the
infrastructure status given to real estate, loans offered at cheaper rates,
introduction of the Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA), GST & many other
initiatives, the need for quality products to be used in the country is greater
than ever."
Lubrizol introduced the resilient CPVC material into India nearly two decades
ago. Since then, India's plumbers, engineers, builders and consultants have been
reassured by the only material of its kind to be designed and approved to meet
all global standards.
Prakash Chhabria, executive chairman of FinOlex Industries Limited expressed his
views on the special occasion, saying, "We are committed to strengthening the
plumbing industry and our association with Lubrizol falls in line with the
culture of FinOlex Industries in providing quality products 'Made in India' for
the Indian market. We are confident about Lubrizol's global expertise in
compounding and appreciate the work done by them in changing the plumbing
industry from metal-based to CPVC-based piping. With FlowGuard's raw material
and support, our track record of providing superior products for our market is
only strengthened. We look forward to a successful partnership."
