Strategic land acquisition near RED Star facility marks REHAU’s next phase of manufacturing expansion in India, reinforcing its commitment to the Indian market.

Andhra Pradesh, 02nd May 2025: REHAU, a global leader in polymer-based solutions, has taken a significant step towards expanding its manufacturing footprint in India by acquiring 1.05 acres of industrial land in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh. The land, secured through a 99-year lease agreement near the RED Star Polymers plant, marks a strategic investment by REHAU India to support RED Star Polymers in scaling up its manufacturing capacity.

This development comes just months after REHAU’s acquisition of a 51% stake in RED Star Polymers Pvt. Ltd., a company manufacturing PVC edgebands, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strengthening its market presence in India.

The newly acquired land is strategically located adjacent to RED Star’s operational facility, enabling seamless synergies and long-term scalability. By signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sri City on 25th April 2025, REHAU has underlined its confidence in India’s robust manufacturing ecosystem and its long-term vision to serve both domestic and export markets from this strategic base.

Dr Thomas Troeger, CEO, REHAU Interior Solutions, added, “Our decision to invest further in India reflects our confidence in the country’s long-term market potential. This expansion positions REHAU to meet growing demand while reinforcing our manufacturing excellence.”

Commenting on the expansion, Tushar Verma, Executive Vice President, REHAU India, said, “This land acquisition is a continuation of our commitment to scale manufacturing in India. Sri City’s world-class infrastructure and connectivity make it an ideal location for REHAU’s next phase of growth.”

Mr. Lakshmi Pacha, Vice President, REHAU India, remarked, “This is a great investment by REHAU India that directly supports RED Star Polymers’ growth trajectory. The proximity of the new land to our existing facility will significantly enhance our manufacturing capacity and operational efficiency, helping us meet increasing market demand”.

REHAU has been present in India for over 27 years and has consistently invested in local manufacturing capabilities. With the addition of this land near RED Star’s facility, REHAU is poised to enhance its capacity, workforce, and product portfolio tailored for the Indian market.
