What Amity does
AMITY Thermosets (P) Limited is a privately held Indian manufacturer of thermoset moulding compounds, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Mumbai with manufacturing operations based in Gujarat. The company produces five core product families — Phenolic Moulding Compounds (PMC), Dough Moulding Compounds (DMC), Epoxy Moulding Compounds, Polyester Melamine Moulding Compounds, and Specialty Moulding Compounds (including short/long glass-fibre reinforced, cotton-filled, and fabric-impregnated variants). These thermoset polymers cure irreversibly into rigid, heat-resistant materials used in applications where dimensional stability, flame retardancy, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength under thermal and mechanical stress are required.
The company serves five primary end-verticals: Defense & Aerospace (Ministry of Defense approved supplier for missile components, ballistic housings, and aerospace insulation), Electrical & Electronics (switchgear housings, transformer parts, insulators, commutators, and high-voltage components), Automotive (under-the-hood components, brake caliper pistons, water pump parts, electrical connectors, and trim parts), Industrial Components (pump housings, grinding disc centers, sealing components), and Consumer Durables (decorative appliance parts, handles, cookware). It operates two manufacturing facilities — a domestic plant at Valsad (5,000 MT/year, operational since 1997) and a dedicated export-oriented plant at Kandla SEZ (5,000 MT/year, operational since 2009) — for combined capacity of 10,000 MT/year, with materials exported to customers in 25+ countries across North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
AMITY generates revenue through direct sales of thermoset moulding compounds via an enterprise sales motion targeting OEMs and Tier-1 manufacturers, with dedicated email channels for domestic sales, export sales, and technical support. Distribution is bifurcated between domestic direct sales (India) and export channels through the Kandla SEZ facility. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, holds Ministry of Defense approved supplier status, and was recognized among the BOI India SME 100 Awards in 2013. Leadership is anchored by founder and Chairman J.J. Chheda. Note: A separate Thailand-based AI company also operating under the "Amity" name raised $100M Series D funding in March 2026 — this is a distinct entity and should not be conflated with AMITY Thermosets.
