Mallcom Puts Rs 100 Crore into New Gujarat Manufacturing Facility

Mallcom India Invests Over Rs 100 Crore in New Manufacturing Facility

Kolkata-based PPE manufacturer Mallcom India Ltd has made a significant investment in expanding its domestic production capabilities. The company has invested over Rs 100 crore in a new manufacturing facility at Sanand in Gujarat, as part of its strategy to strengthen localisation and reduce dependence on imports.

The Sanand plant, Mallcom's 17th manufacturing unit, currently employs more than 200 people. The facility is expected to generate over 300 jobs by next year. The Sanand plant manufactures a range of products, including NBR and PU gloves, safety helmets, and bump caps. Mallcom has recently added a new NBR glove dipping line with online printing and stripping facilities and has started local production of Protech PU gloves, which were previously imported.

Mallcom has also established "India's first domestic tariff area (DTA) unit" for Protech PU gloves at the Sanand facility. This move is aimed at reducing import dependence in a segment largely dominated by overseas suppliers. The Sanand facility represents a significant milestone in Mallcom's expansion journey and reinforces its commitment to building globally competitive manufacturing capabilities in India.

The unit will serve as a key growth driver in the company's manufacturing roadmap, enabling it to scale capacities, deepen localisation, and accelerate product innovation in the PPE segment. The expansion will also help the company to expand its manufacturing footprint beyond West Bengal and Uttarakhand.
