Flowcrete Begins Manufacturing in India

London, England, June 21, 2011 -- Flowcrete, the specialist flooring company, said it has launched its first manufacturing facility in India.

Located in Chennai, the plant will enable Flowcrete to significantly reduce lead times to customers and also reduce the impact on the environment by using locally available raw materials, the company said in a press release.

Flowcrete’s International Managing Director Craig Brookes said, “The huge potential and vast scale of the Indian market are two of the main factors behind our decision to bring our manufacturing operations nearer to our customers in this dynamic region. The availability of good raw materials locally and access to excellent personnel were other key indicators supporting this move.”

Current annual production capacity at the plant is 9,000 tons, with expansion plans set to bring capacity to 21,000 tons within the next nine months.
