THE EARLY YEARS

The year was 1977
The PVC industry was beginning to spread its wings. Recognizing this as an opportunity area, the Kalpena Group made a small beginning the same year in Kolkata. From the very start, the group’s focus was clear. It established a nice for itself in the shoe & cable industries as a quality supplier of PVC Compounds. After that, there was no looking back. The Group charted an aggressive strategy for growth through capacity expansion and diversification action. 

A pan India Presence 
Within just seven years from start of operations, Kalpena established a modern unit at Daman for the manufacture of PVC compounds. Sustained growth over the next decade necessitated another round of expansion in 1994, when the group set up a second unit in Daman. This state-of-the art plant employed the latest process technology to manufacture XLPE compounds.

A Global Focus
Having established itself as a leader in PVC compounding, the group realized that its core strength was in “Compounding” and thus decided to look beyond PVC by setting up units to manufacture specialty compounds like Silance and Preoxide based XLPE, zero halogen FRLS, NBR/PVC, anti-fibrication, semi-conductive, automotive, cross linkable EVA foam compound and also additive master baches for both National and International markets. Further the group is diversifying into manufacturing of primary and secondary plasticizer and Engineering Plastic Compounds.

The Pillars
Today, under the dynamic stewardship of Mr. D.C. Surana, Chairman and Mr. N.K. Surana, M.D. the group has emerged as a leader in its field. It is perhaps the largest manufacture of polymer compounds in India with an installed capacity of 25,000 Mt. of PE/PP compounds and 10,000 Mt. of speciality compound per annum. It is setting benchmark in quality, with all its major product line being the preferred choice of discerning buyers.
