At IMTEX 2025, Amit Shanbaug of ET Now Machinist spoke with Mangesh Dalvi, Associate Vice President of Growel, about the company’s latest product innovations, sustainability initiatives, and ambitious growth plans in India.

The manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly, and Growel is at the forefront of this transformation. At IMTEX 2025, the company unveiled a range of innovative solutions designed to enhance efficiency and sustainability across multiple industries.

Pioneering Product Innovations

Growel has introduced several new solutions at IMTEX this year, including semisynthetic oils, rust preventive products from the 8000 series, and specialised wire drawing lubricants for ferrous and aluminium metallurgy. The 8000 series, in particular, stands out for its high flash point and export-friendly properties, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers looking for superior corrosion protection.

 

In addition, Growel is making strides in glass cutting applications, working on breakthrough technologies to enhance efficiency in this sector. These innovations reflect the company's commitment to addressing the evolving needs of its customers across different industries.

Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of Growel's innovation strategy. Traditionally, rust preventives relied on heavy metals like barium, but Growel is shifting towards heavy metal-free and barium-free alternatives to align with global environmental standards. The company is also introducing chlorine-free soluble oils and sulfur-free neat cutting oils, ensuring that its products are both high-performing and environmentally responsible.

 

"Our focus is on developing solutions that not only improve efficiency but also contribute to a sustainable future," said Dalvi. "We are committed to moving away from conventional formulations and adopting greener alternatives."

Expanding Presence in India

Growel is actively working with leading OEMs and Tier 1 component manufacturers to secure approvals for its innovative products. The company's strength lies in its ability to offer customised solutions tailored to the specific needs of its clients. With ambitious growth targets for the coming year, Growel is set to deepen its presence in the Indian market by expanding its reach and forging stronger partnerships.

As the industry continues to shift towards sustainability and innovation, Growel's latest initiatives position it as a key player in the transformation of industrial lubricants and fluids. The company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge, sustainable solutions ensures that it remains ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing landscape.
