Stahl India opens global centre of excellence for footwear finishing

12/02/2013
Specialty chemicals manufacturer Stahl officially opened a new centre of excellence for manufacturing its range of aftercare and shoe finish products. The centre has been built within the compound of Stahl India’s manufacturing complex in Ranipet, an important centre for leather production in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

The official opening was performed by group chief executive, Huub van Beijeren, along with Stahl India managing director, Tuncay Deriner.

Mr Van Beijeren said it was a proud moment for the Stahl Group and that the new centre is the only facility of its kind in India dedicated to manufacturing products especially for the shoe industry, giving customers access to up-to-date products that are fully compliant with the latest legislation. He added that this demonstrated Stahl’s “continued commitment to the leather and shoe sector at a time of uncertainty in the industry”.

Stahl has been active in India for more than 35 years, and its plant in Ranipet started operating in April 2000. The new plant has the capacity to make almost 3,000 tonnes of product for use in the shoe industry, leathergoods manufacturing and aftercare markets.
