Tell us about your journey spanning almost two decades where you transitioned from Retail to Distribution, to Manufacturing, and to Everything.
Our journey began with a focus on retail and distribution, which helped us understand customer needs in detail. In 2002, we were one of the first to introduce aluminium composite panels (ACP) in India, and since then, we have grown to become one of the top three ACP brands nationwide, now exporting to 14 countries worldwide. This foundation allowed us to transition into manufacturing, where we could control quality, bring new products to market, and drive innovation. Today, as a fully integrated company, we provide end-to-end solutions for our clients, offering products that meet the highest standards of quality, durability, and aesthetics.
You have an exclusive collaboration with Euramax. How are you leveraging the same to serve your customers better?
Partnering with Euramax has opened the door to world-class coating technology that enhances our product line’s durability and appearance. Our collaboration ensures our panels are long-lasting and available in a wide range of finishes, meeting both aesthetic and functional requirements. With our newest and most advanced coating line, our production is now 100 percent Make in India. This combination of global quality with local expertise allows us to deliver ACP solutions that resonate with the evolving needs of architects, designers and builders.
The global construction industry – just like the automotive industry – is experiencing a shift to light-weighting. What role do you see Euro Panel playing in this shift?
Light-weighting is becoming a critical factor in construction due to its benefits for energy efficiency and structural load reduction. To support this shift, we’ve launched two products featuring an innovative metal core, one with a corrugated aluminium structure and another with a honeycomb core. These panels drastically reduce weight while maintaining a high strength-to-weight ratio, providing versatile, robust materials that suit modern construction needs. By making lightweight, high-performance panels available, we’re helping the industry build more efficiently and sustainably.
At the same time, there is a huge focus on circular economy and sustainability. How is the Indian aluminium industry spearheading this trend?
The Indian aluminium industry is increasingly focused on sustainable practices, and we are at the forefront of this movement. Our facility houses a 1.2-megawatt solar power generation unit, contributing to a cleaner energy footprint. We recycle and reuse all our LDPE waste and ensure our aluminium waste goes through approved vendors for recycling. These practices not only reduce our environmental impact but also support a circular economy, turning waste into reusable resources. We believe sustainability is an ongoing commitment, and we are dedicated to continually advancing our eco-friendly initiatives.
Tell us something about your state-of-the-art facility located in Umbergaon, Gujarat, in terms of its capacities as well as advanced production equipment and technology.
Our Umbergaon facility is a powerhouse of efficiency and innovation. With a capacity to manufacture 25,000 square meters of panels daily, we maintain rigorous quality checks and focus on production excellence.
