Mallcom India Limited, one of the country’s leading manufacturers of personal protective equipment (PPE), has announced significant progress in its growth strategy with the operationalization of its new manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. The investment, exceeding ₹100 crore, underscores the company’s commitment to expanding domestic production capabilities, driving innovation, and supporting India’s industrial safety sector.
The Sanand facility marks Mallcom’s 17th manufacturing unit and represents a major addition to its nationwide production network. The plant currently provides employment to more than 200 people through direct and indirect opportunities, with plans to expand the workforce beyond 300 over the coming year.
Designed as an advanced manufacturing hub, the facility houses multiple production lines including nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) gloves, polyurethane (PU) gloves, injection moulding systems, glove printing operations, safety helmets, and bump caps. Mallcom has also commissioned a new NBR dipping line equipped with integrated printing and stripping technology to enhance production efficiency and product quality.
A major milestone for the company is the establishment of India’s first Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) unit for Protech PU Gloves at the Sanand site. The initiative is expected to reduce dependence on imported gloves and support domestic manufacturing under the Government of India’s “Make in India” programme. Historically, the PU glove segment has relied heavily on imports from Asian markets, making local production a strategic development for the industry.
The facility reflects Mallcom’s focus on sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices. Operations incorporate biomass pellets as a cleaner energy source, a Zero Liquid Discharge system for water conservation, and adherence to globally recognized ethical manufacturing standards through SEDEX-audited processes. The company has also invested in energy-efficient machinery, waste management systems, and safe workplace infrastructure.
Giriraj Mall, Executive Director of Mallcom India Limited, said the Sanand facility represents a significant milestone in the company’s expansion journey and demonstrates its commitment to building globally competitive manufacturing capabilities in India. He emphasized that the investment balances innovation, sustainability, and localization while supporting long-term growth.
Rohit Mall, Associate Vice President of Mallcom India Limited, highlighted the facility’s advanced technology platform, enhanced production capacity, and focus on quality and compliance. He noted that these capabilities position the company to meet evolving customer requirements while creating long-term value for stakeholders.
The Sanand unit is expected to play a central role in Mallcom’s future growth plans by supporting product innovation, increasing production capacity, and strengthening the company’s position as a trusted provider of occupational safety solutions. Through continued investment in manufacturing excellence, sustainability, and workforce development, Mallcom aims to contribute to India’s industrial growth while expanding its presence in global PPE markets.
