Kemrock Industries and Exports Ltd (KIEL), one of the leading manufacturers of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, launched a range of carbon fibre products for industrial applications under the brand name "JAITEC"

The products were launched by Mr Ashok Nayak, Chairman of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), during his visit to Kemrock's facility. Appreciating Kemrock's successful operations andcommercial production of carbon fibre plant, Mr Nayak expressed that, "Kemrock and HAL have also joined hands together by signing an MoU for manufacture of carbon fibre prepregs. Initially, we were contemplating to have the prepreg manufacturing facility at HAL Bengaluru, considering the proximity of our other facilities. But I was highly impressed seeing Kemrock's commitment and capabilities at its world class facility in Vadodara which has made HAL decide to make prepregs at Kemrock, apart from the other grades of carbon fibre products."

Acknowledging HAL's continued support, Mr Kalpesh Patel, CMD, KIEL, said "Kemrock and HAL's relationship will grow forward very strongly and it is our commitment to take on these new opportunities together."
