Plastichemix Industries

Company Profile

Plastichemix Industries was founded in the year 1977 by Samir Sheth in the city of Vadodara, in Western India. Plastichemix is one of the oldest masterbatch producers in India. From its origin as a small company employing 3-4 workers and a plant of 300 tons/year, it has grown to a production capacity of 24000 MT per annum, and employs over 250 people. It has four manufacturing plants near Vadodara. For a brief period in the late 1990’s, Plastichemix was a joint venture with Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Switzerland.
Plastichemix serves all sectors of the plastic processing industry. The product range is marketed under the brand names "Spectramix", "Polyadd" and "Polyfill".
As a masterbatch producer, Plastichemix has gained a reputation for high quality and innovative products. Although it started out as manufacturer of polyethylene masterbatches for blown film extrusion, the product range now covers all the major polymers and applications. Around 1990, Plastichemix developed a process for plastic flushed colours. This development gave Plastichemix an added advantage in the quality of its products.
Besides servicing the Indian market, Plastichemix exports its products to Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, Europe and the USA.
