MBT India turns Ten

 

Mr. D.sitaramaiah (at the mike) and Mr. Dick Purchase addressing civil Engineers at Mumbai.

 

When MBT (to be renamed shortly as Degussa Construction Chemicals)  entered India in 1995, they did not do it the traditional way - setting up a local factory, making a range of products selected for the Indian market with a local sales / service team etc.

MBT India chose two segments to enter the Indian market - the Hydel power segment where the company's expertise with shotcrete accelerators, plasticizers and spray equipment could contribute by bringing in new technology,  followed by introduction of proven technology in admixtures for Ready Mix Concrete segment.  Imported products, a lean local sales team supported heavily by specialists from Dubai and Switzerland were the other ingredients of the chosen route.

Ten years on...

Today, this late entrant to the Indian Construction Chemicals scene has already reached a leadership position in several areas offering some unique technologies and a wide range of  products.

With the focus on infrastructure projects and the ubiquitous construction activity in all segments of the Indian economy, MBT India saw the opportunity for bringing in advanced technology products in admixtures, waterproofing, repair and performance flooring.  This resulted in multifold growth necessitating additional manufacturing facilities.  The new technologies found quick acceptance at prestigious sites like Delhi Metro, Nuclear Power Corporation projects, mega hydel power projects and with leading civil engineering contractors in the country.

Adding Manufacturing facility at Bangalore :

In 2004, MBT India set up manufacturing facilities at Bangalore primarily to cater to the growing admixture needs at Bangalore and Southern Region in general.

Mr. Dick Purchase, Chairman of MBT India based in Dubai formally inaugurated the Bangalore facility during 1st week of March '05.  The occasion was graced by the presence of other Directors on MBT India's Board.

Speaking to the assembled gathering on this occasion, Mr. Purchase declared,  "we are committed to ensure a fast rate of growth of our Construction Chemicals business in India.  Degussa is willing to commit the necessary resources for this and the Bangalore facility is a step in this direction."

The factory inauguration formed part of the 10 year celebrations at Bangalore which was followed by a gathering of leading civil engineers the same evening.  A technical presentation on Degussa Construction Chemicals' unique technologies and an interactive session were followed by a Dinner.

At Mumbai :

MBT India with its head quarters and main manufacturing facility at Navi Mumbai held a series of functions at Mumbai to celebrate the 10th Anniversary recently.

Mr. D.Sitaramaiah, Managing Director, remarked "we were able to achieve a fast rate of growth using our specialist knowledge in areas like shotcrete accelerators, Tunnel Boring Method (TBM), Self Compacting Concrete etc.  thanks to the encouragement of our customers.  Our objective is to speed up the rate of growth using the various other unique technologies available from the Degussa Construction Chemicals portfolio and Degussa's willingness to invest in people and facilities in India."

The celebrations coincided with the visit of Chairman Mr. Dick Purchase, Mr. A.K. Nehru, Mr. Arvid Dokken and Mr. Raman Mohan (all Directors), and included a customer meeting, an employee function at the HO premises and a get together of the company's business associates like suppliers, bankers, auditors, service providers etc.  At the customer get together Mr. Dick Purchase reiterated the group's commitment to India and the company's emphasis on technical service / product consultancy to go with the product offerings.

Mr. H. Kapadia, GM - Sales & Marketing of MBT India expressed the opinion that he and his team are optimistic of becoming the No. 1 Construction Chemical  suppliers in India in the near future.

ICI - Degussa Rheodynamic Concrete prize to Delhi Metro team

 

ICI – Degussa Rheodynamic concrete prize was instituted recently after seeing the amount of enthusiasm of Indian Civil Engineer about the new technology Self Compacting concrete at the International Seminar at Pune in September'03. The objective of the prize was to encourage work at field level in developing and use of Self compacting contract to solve problems associated with placing and finishing concrete.

 

The prize carried a cash award and a silver plaque.  This year, altogether 12 papers were received competing for the prize.  All the papers were of high quality with practical orientation to the work carried out.  The selection committee, appointed by ICI, after much deliberation selected the paper submitted by Mr. S.R.
