Polartech India’s new Manufacturing Facility starts Production
In 2003, after continued success in India for Polartech, it became apparent that if Polartech India was to continue to grow at its current rate a new manufacturing site would need to be commissioned. Work started early in that year to find a location, and within six months land at a site in Cherlapally, Hyderabad, was procured.
Roman Mikolajewicz, Operations manager for Polartech Group comments; “Being able to plan and design this new facility from concept, and then to manage the project at inception through to completion was the ideal situation for us. Not only did it allow Polartech to build a site that was based on the design principles of Vaastu Shastra, one of the traditional Hindu principles of town planning and architecture, but it also allowed us to build in specific efficiencies that would have been impossible if we had been adapting an existing structure.”

Building work then commenced in late 2004 with the Polartech team holding a small Puja ceremony at the laying of the first foundation. This was followed by a much larger Puja ceremony in 2006 when the building work was competed.
V.S.Ramanathan, Sales Director for Polartech India adds:
“Since the creation of Polartech India Pvt Ltd. in 1999 we have experienced significant year on year growth; which has already forced us to expand once before. With the completion of this project I believe that Polartech is now positioned as a key player in the Indian Metalworking fluid market.”
The new facility is a significant step up from the existing site, with the capacity to blend up to 30,000 metric tons of product per year. The 12 blending vessels and 6 reactor vessels are all constructed from stainless steel and mounted on state of the art load cells to ensure the highest levels of product quality.
