BYK Additives

At Indian Paint Conference 2025 in Kolkata, I was privileged to participate in a panel discussion with the executive leaders of major paint companies Berger Paints India, Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd, Birla Opus, Nippon Paint India, INDIGO Paints Limited, and AkzoNobel. We shared first-hand information on markets, requirements, and future opportunities. I emphasized that India is an area where we see sustainable growth in the coming years and we at BYK Additives will further intensify our efforts in this vibrant country. During the discussion, we delved into the latest trends and innovations shaping the paint industry, highlighting the importance of sustainability and technological advancements. It was inspiring to see the commitment of these industry leaders towards creating more eco-friendly and high-performance products. I also had the opportunity to share BYK's vision and strategies for contributing to the Indian market, focusing on our dedication to quality, innovation, and customer centricity. The event was a fantastic platform for networking and exchanging ideas. Together, we can achieve remarkable growth and make a significant impact on the future of the paint industry in India.
