DuFlon Industries

What DuFlon Industries does

DuFlon Industries Pvt. Ltd. is a Mumbai-headquartered, privately held fluoropolymer processor founded in 1988 that manufactures and exports customized PTFE, PFA, and UHMPE parts alongside elastomer products and precision metal castings for the global Pump & Valve industry and the Chemical and Process Industries (CPI). Its core technical capability rests on proprietary isostatic processing and one of the world's largest paste extrusion installations, supporting a stated production capacity exceeding 700 tons across six manufacturing units and over 450,000 sq. ft. of built-up area on three continents, with exports to more than 25 countries. The company is positioned as a one-stop parts supplier to OEM pump and valve manufacturers, with vertically integrated offerings under the DuCast (castings) and DuElastomer (elastomers) sub-brands, complemented by lined piping systems, lined vessels and reactors, scrubbers, flow meters, and onsite repair services.

DuFlon generates revenue through custom B2B manufacturing on a quote-based, multi-year contract model. Products are made to customer drawings and specifications, with pricing determined by material selection (PTFE, PFA, UHMPE, elastomers), complexity, and volume. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting global Pump & Valve OEMs as the primary segment, with secondary exposure to chemical processing, pharmaceutical, paper, green hydrogen, and electrical switchgear customers. A dedicated US distribution office in Houston enables direct delivery, customs handling, and transparent single-price quoting for North American accounts, while a captive BPO in Mumbai supports global operations. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, founder-led under Chairman Shailesh Mehta, and operates with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or M&A activity in the source data.
