Mallcom Strengthens Localisation Push Through Major Investment
Kolkata-based personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturer Mallcom India Ltd has invested over ₹100 crore in a new manufacturing facility at Sanand, Gujarat, aimed at boosting domestic production, enhancing localisation, and reducing import dependence.
Mallcom India Limited on Friday announced an investment of more than ₹100 crore in a new manufacturing facility at Sanand in Gujarat, reinforcing its commitment to expanding domestic production capabilities and strengthening supply chain localisation.
The Sanand unit is the company’s 17th manufacturing facility and forms a key part of its long-term growth strategy focused on reducing dependence on imports and increasing indigenous manufacturing.
According to the company, the plant currently employs over 200 workers and is expected to create more than 300 additional jobs by next year, contributing to local employment generation and industrial development in the region.
Located in one of Gujarat’s rapidly growing industrial hubs, the facility manufactures a range of safety and protective products, including:
- Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) gloves
- Polyurethane (PU) gloves
- Safety helmets
- Bump caps
These products are widely used across sectors such as manufacturing, construction, engineering, logistics, mining, and industrial safety.
The investment aligns with broader national efforts to promote domestic manufacturing under initiatives aimed at enhancing self-reliance and reducing import dependency in critical industrial segments.
Industry experts note that demand for personal protective equipment continues to grow due to increasing workplace safety standards, industrial expansion, and regulatory compliance requirements across various sectors.
The company stated that the new facility will help improve production efficiency, strengthen its manufacturing footprint, and support both domestic and international market demand.
Sanand has emerged as a major manufacturing destination in recent years, attracting investments from automobile, engineering, electronics, and industrial goods companies due to its infrastructure and strategic location.
The latest expansion is expected to further strengthen Mallcom India’s position in the safety equipment and PPE market while supporting India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
