Mahindra Composites Ltd ( formerly Siro Plast Ltd ) was established in 1982 with technical collaboration with Menzolit, Germany. Subsequently we developed materials suited for Indian Conditions. Few of our significant developments have been the “ Halogen Free” materials for electrical Applications, achieving UL094 approvals with V0 fire retardant properties and automotive applications for Head Lamps with antifogging properties at elevated temperatures.
It was ahead of times that M&M group saw the need for getting into composite Materials in the early 80’s. This perhaps has contributed to its being the leading Polymer Composite player in India. Starting with Electrical applications the company enhanced its capabilities by widening its base to Hand Lay Up applications for Medical equipments, RTM Resin Transfer Molding for Railways, defense and other niche markets.
Mahindra Composites have been the pioneers in India to setup ( SMC ) Sheet Molding Compound machine with 48” width, besides having expertise in ( DMC / BMD ) Dough / Bulk Molding Compounds for Compression and Injection molding applications in ‘90’s itself.
