Arvind Composites

What Arvind Composites does

Arvind Composites is a private Indian manufacturer of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite products, operating as the Advanced Materials Division of the Arvind group, a $2 billion diversified conglomerate founded in 1931. Founded in 2012 and headquartered at Santej, Kalol in Gujarat, the company employs approximately 100 people and operates a single integrated manufacturing platform that spans glass-fabric weaving, pultrusion, continuous lamination, hand moulding, filament winding, and pre-preg production, with 10,000 tons of annual FRP capacity and an additional 20,000 tons of glass fabric capacity through the Arvind-PD joint venture with Preiss Daimler of Germany.

The company sells B2B to industrial customers across eight use-case verticals — cooling towers, building and construction, energy and utilities (notably wind), industrial products, telecom (including 5G smart poles), mass transportation, sports goods, and CIPP pipe rehabilitation — through quote-based direct enterprise sales with shipment of full project supplies to greenfield sites globally. Named anchor customers include Bombardier Transportation and Indian Railways (approved supplier for rail and metro interiors) and the world's leading cooling tower OEMs. Two international joint ventures anchor specialized offerings: Arvind-PD Composites (with Preiss Daimler, Germany) for glass fabrics, and Arvind BKP Technology (with BKP Berolina, Germany) for UV-cured CIPP pipe rehabilitation liners capable of extending pipe life by up to 40 years.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of manufactured FRP components, supplemented by in-house design, development, and testing services (CAD, 3D modelling, CAE, physico-mechanical testing). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a project-quote basis. Distinctive in-India capabilities include thin-wall pultrusion (1.5mm radome and fan blade profiles), heavy pultrusion up to 50 kg per meter, carbon-fibre pre-preg sports goods manufacturing, and integrated multi-standard certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IRIS (TS 22163), Germanischer Lloyd, Lloyd's Register, IRS, and OHSAS 18001.
