How has been the performance of your company in the last two years? What factors/end-user industries are driving the growth?
The past two years have been pivotal for Parson Adhesives India. Despite global uncertainties, we achieved consistent growth, supported by increased demand from the automotive, renewable energy, and construction sectors. The shift towards renewal energy sector especially wind and solar and rise in upcoming Railway projects has significantly boosted the adoption of our structural adhesives.
Our expansion into emerging markets and robust R&D initiatives further enhanced our ability to meet customer needs across diverse geographies.

What is your analysis of the Indian manufacturing sector, in general, and the adhesives industry, in particular, in recent years? What are the challenges & opportunities before the industry at present?
The Indian manufacturing sector is evolving rapidly, driven by initiatives like Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, along with investments in automation and digitalisation. However, challenges such as supply chain disruptions, regulatory complexities, and rising transportation costs due to fluctuating fuel prices persist. In the adhesives industry, sustainability efforts have increased transportation costs and regulatory pressures, but opportunities abound in renewable energy like wind, EVs, and the growing defence sector. Localised manufacturing and innovation in high-performance adhesives can help mitigate costs and cater to these high-growth sectors. By adopting advanced technologies and customer-focused strategies, the sector is poised for substantial expansion.

How is your company leveraging (1) Advanced technologies for manufacturing and (2) Enterprise-level digitalisation to improve efficiency and profitability?
While advanced technologies like automation and Industry 4.0 may not be directly applicable to our current operations, we focus on targeted innovations tailored to our industry’s needs. Our efforts are centered around optimising processes, enhancing product quality, and reducing operational costs.    

We have adopted digital tools such as ERP systems for streamlined inventory management and order tracking, ensuring timely delivery to customers. Additionally, CRM platforms are used to strengthen customer relationships and provide personalised solutions. These targeted implementations enable us to maintain efficiency and profitability while meeting evolving market demands.
