Stahl reopens coatings facility in India
Stahl has reopened its upgraded coatings facility in Ranipet, India, reinforcing its focus on sustainable growth and innovation.

The site, first opened in 2000 and closed in 2019, now brings together production, R&D, and testing for leather finishing, performance, and packaging coatings. CEO Maarten Heijbroek said the reopening aligns Stahl’s operations with future market demands and strengthens local support for customers in a key growth region.

Equipped with automated systems and a zero liquid waste treatment process, the facility employs around 140 staff. Managing director for India and Bangladesh, Mr Ranganath BV, described the reopening as “both a homecoming and a new beginning” for Stahl in India.
