Michelman India is dedicated to the development of the Indian market, with an immediate focus on the growing printing and packaging sector. The company also has expansion plans to service other coatings and manufacturing industries that Michelman supports worldwide.

With the Supack acquisition, Michelman India hosts a business center, laboratory, and an experienced team of sales, technical service and business operations personnel. 

By keeping the existing team intact, customers will experience a seamless continuation of business and technical services. 

The laboratory of the Michelman India facility in Mumbai has been equipped recently with several industry accepted product testing capabilities for packaging, printing and coating applications. With this direct and increased physical presence in India, customers can expect Michelman to quickly develop innovative technologies for the Indian market. 

Jeff Rodgers, chief financial officer at Michelman, said: ‘With this acquisition, coupled with our established laboratory capabilities, we will be intensifying our resource commitment to the region to support current customers, while also increasing our focus on serving customers of our Coatings and Industrial Manufacturing Groups.’

As a result of the acquisition, Supack International founder Pankaj Shah has been named as a co-director of Michelman India, as has Steven Wong.
