July 2026 : Fortmax has officially inaugurated its brand-new manufacturing facility in Jhagadia, Gujarat. The site represents a significant step forward in the local production of advanced specialty chemicals.

Fortmax was established as a strategic partnership between Indian engineering and environment heavyweight Thermax and the Brazil-based OCQ Group. By uniting both corporate giants, the venture successfully blends global expertise in acrylic resins and emulsion polymers with Thermax's deep-rooted, strong local manufacturing capabilities.

The cutting-edge Jhagadia facility is engineered to plug a vital gap in the domestic supply chain. It will focus on manufacturing high-performance acrylic resins tailored specifically for the paints, adhesives, infrastructure, textile, and waterproofing industries. For businesses across these rapidly growing sectors, the plant guarantees a major operational boost-supporting customers with reliable quality, greater supply assurance, and highly responsive service.

Beyond its immediate commercial impact, the launch marks a strategic win for its Indian parent entity. The new facility further strengthens Thermax's Chemicals business and expands its portfolio of high-performance specialty chemicals, positioning the company to capture evolving demand in the construction and industrial sectors.

By localizing the production of these complex formulations, Fortmax is not just expanding its asset base; it is actively injecting resilience into the regional manufacturing ecosystem. The commissioning of the Jhagadia plant sets a solid foundation for the joint venture's long-term growth ambitions in the Asian subcontinent.
