Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], October 24: Keimfarben GmbH (KEIM), a German multinational and global pioneer in silicate paint technology, will strengthen its engagement in the Indian market through a strategic license agreement with Zydex Industries, a leading Indian multinational specialising in innovative and sustainable solutions in the paints, waterproofing, roads, agro, and textiles sectors.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in bringing world-renowned silicate paint technology to India, with local manufacturing and distribution powered by Zydex’s deep market presence and technical capabilities.
Silicate paints, known for their exceptional durability, sustainability, and longevity, have been a preferred choice of architects around the globe. Some silicate-painted buildings in Europe have stood the test of time for over 130 years without requiring repainting, setting a gold standard for architectural coatings.
KEIM’s paints are often specified by leading global architecture firms such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster + Partners, Rem Koolhaas, MVRDV or Moshe Safdie. Iconic global structures such as the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, the Hunters Point Library in New York, the Abu Dhabi F1 Circuit, and the Sydney Opera House have all used KEIM’s cutting-edge solutions.
Through this collaboration, Indian architects, developers, and public infrastructure projects will now have access to globally proven, mineral-based silicate paints that offer superior weather resistance, breathability, color stability, and environmental compatibility.
With shared values of innovation, sustainability, and performance, Zydex and KEIM aim to redefine long-term durability in Indian construction and architectural coatings.
