What Macro Polymers does

Macro Polymers (legal entity: Macro Polymers Pvt. Ltd.) is a privately held Indian manufacturer of synthetic resins, founded in 1962 in Gujarat by the late Mr. Shirish Parikh and currently led by second-generation director Mr. Mayank S. Parikh with third-generation family member Parth Mayank Parikh joining the operating business. Headquartered at Moraiya, Sanand (Ahmedabad district), the company operates three production facilities in India with combined installed capacity of 60,000 metric tons per annum, and maintains a regional sales office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to serve Southeast Asia.

The product portfolio spans alkyd, modified alkyd, acrylic (thermosetting, thermoplastic, high-solid, 2K, emulsion), polyester (including saturated), polyamide, butylated urea-formaldehyde, butylated melamine-formaldehyde, butylated phenol-formaldehyde, epoxy, epoxy ester, epoxy adduct, epoxy curing accelerator, ketonic, rosin-modified phenolic, maleic-modified rosin ester, and castor polyol resins. These chemistries are sold as raw-material inputs to industrial customers in paints and coatings (automotive, architectural, OEM, marine, coil, can, general industrial, road marking, paver block, wood coatings, refinish), printing inks (ketone-formaldehyde, ball-point pen pastes), wood coating lacquers (NC, melamine, 1K/2K PU), adhesives (industrial, laminates, flooring, construction), and specialty industrial applications. The technical foundation rests on a Government of India-recognized in-house R&D Centre and ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 14001:2015 / ISO 45001:2018 certifications, plus Government Two Star Export House status.

Commercially the company is a B2B direct-sales manufacturer and exporter with a horizontal segmentation approach across multiple downstream industries. Revenue is generated exclusively from physical sale of finished resins (no licensing, royalties, or software model). Pricing is negotiated contract-by-contract with no public price list. Exports span the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, and Australia, and the company is family-owned with no external equity investors and no parent company, though it discloses 101-250 employees across its Indian operations. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
