LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

As per Website Details:

 

Company Details:

Subject is a Technology Driven company with a mission of "Developing and implementing new technology to contribute towards rapid growth of FRP industry". As a result, Subject is now a leading manufacturer of Unsaturated Polyester Resin – with the brand name of Mechster Resins in Western India. Mechemco's Executives form a very well knit family of highly talented, professionally qualified experienced individuals working in synergy to coordinate and optimally run the operations of Manufacturing, R & D, Technical Services, Distribution, as well as Application Developments. From a very modest beginning about a decade ago, Subject has expanded its activity by setting up additional unit in Tarapur about 100 km from Mumbai - Network Polymers Pvt. Ltd. in addition to its existing unit at Dombivli. Considering Resin Manufacturing activity in India being highly unorganized, with more than 50 UP Resin manufacturing units, Subject enjoys a very prominent position having the market share of about 15% of the overall market in India and about 30% in Specialty Resins. Subject has been the founder member and coordinator of Polyester Resin Manufacturers' Association (PRMA).

The manufacturing units of Subject offer over 65 different grades of Unsaturated Polyester Resins, Vinyl Ester Resins, Specialty Resins and Gel Coats to satisfy the need of entire range of FRP and Casting Industry with customer base of more than 200 distributed all over India. Moreover, Mechster Resins are also regularly exported to Singapore, UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Subject is very proud for complete in-house development of all its resin products manufactured. R & D and Technical Service Team of Subject are the backbone of the organization.

The R & D team has always been successful in tailoring the resins to suit the specific needs of customers' end applications. There is also a continuous collaboration with India's Premier Institute of Excellence, viz., UDCT, Mumbai and Indian Institute of Technology for R & D as well as evaluation of products to enhance the confidence and quality of our products.

Technical Services Department of Subject is always ready to provide the customer support services which include optimization of material formulations, design of the product and the performance evaluation as well as the approval process. These services are provided by reaching out at site as well as in our own premises.

By way of close coordination between R & D Department, Technical Services Department and Production Department, Subject has been able to put together very good quality program in practice which is implemented very religiously by Quality Control and Quality Assurance Department. Highly trained and qualified staff is employed with adequate facility to monitor and ensure the quality and consistency of UP Resin manufactured at both the production units.

Subejct has been able to satisfy the total requirements of few of our local customers who had been advised by their international collaborators to use specific brand name resins having very stringent quality parameters in their manufacturing and fabrication processes. This was done by matching the quality and performance standards of specific brand resins. These resins were tested by the international collaborators at their own facilities. This could be achieved due to availability of in-depth knowledge and understanding of the resin chemistry and processing know-how with the brain bank of Mechemco Industries. Subejct has also been distributing the Fibre Glass for past ten years in entire western India, as an authorized distributor of UP Twiga Ltd. Apart from manufacturing / supplying major raw materials, viz., resin and fibre glass, Mechemco Industries also supplies other accessories items used in the manufacturing of FRP items.

Subject has been actively participating in the activities of All India Reinforced Plastics Manufacturers' Association (AIRPMA) to promote the FRP products. This also involved organizing technical seminars and exhibitions in various part of the country. Subject brain bank always contributed the technical presentation as well as proposed line of action for the FRP market growth in India.
