Lion Rubber Industries

What Lion Rubber Industries does

Lion Rubber Industries Pvt Ltd is an Indian, family-owned manufacturer of marine rubber fenders, dam gate seals, dock and harbour accessories, offshore protection products, and floating fenders. Founded in 1995 by Navin Goradia and now led by Managing Director Sachin Goradia, the company operates manufacturing facilities in the Mumbai area and Palghar (commissioned in 2022), with headquarters in Kandivali (Mumbai) and a sales branch in Rajula, Gujarat (2025). The product portfolio spans more than 40 fender profiles across marine, tugboat, offshore and shipyard applications, alongside a separate line of dam gate rubber seals for hydropower and irrigation projects (including PTFE/Teflon cladded variants).

The company manufactures using moulding and extrusion elastomeric techniques, holds PIANC Type Approval (2015, TUV Austria India Pvt Ltd) and ISO 9001:2015 certification (2018), and maintains in-house design, compounding, mould and hydraulic press capability enabling custom-engineered production. Delivery is supported by an associate logistics company offering door-to-door DAP/DDU shipping. The customer base is B2B and project-based — targeting ports, harbors, shipyards, naval authorities, offshore oil and gas platforms, and hydropower/irrigation project owners globally, with disclosed reference projects in India (Naval vessel Ocean Crewzer, Kotgal Barrage, Gadchiroli) and Egypt.

Revenue is generated through custom-quoted B2B sales across four hardware streams — rubber fender manufacturing and sales, dam gate rubber seals, dock and harbour accessories, and offshore products — with no public pricing and no retail or e-commerce channel. Lion Rubber is bootstrapped with no external institutional capital, holds an Export House Certificate from India's DGFT, and runs a sales-led direct engagement model via inquiry forms, phone, email and WhatsApp.
