ABOUT COMPANY

Natur-Tec®

Natur Tec India Private Limited is a Chennai-based compostable plastic and bioplastic manufacturer that has been operating since October 2013. The company runs as a 90% subsidiary of Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC), USA, and commercialises NTIC’s proprietary bio-polymer platforms across India and the SAARC region under the Natur-Tec® brand. Led by Managing Director Dr. Sundar Rajan Balakrishnan, the firm has grown into one of the fastest-scaling enterprises in India’s bioplastics sector and supplies global brands including McDonald’s, Levi’s, Big Basket and the Landmark Group.

Key things buyers should know

  • Full value chain in-house — one of the few Indian players that makes both compostable resins and finished SKUs under one roof, so buyers can source raw material or end products from a single supplier
  • Authorised distributor of NatureWorks Ingeo™ PLA resins across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan — single-source access to the complete compostable polymer portfolio
  • Multi-jurisdiction certifications on the same product (USA + EU + India) — particularly useful for exporters who need certificates valid across markets
  • Drop-in compatible resins — run on standard PE/PP extrusion and moulding lines, no equipment retooling needed
  • Strategic location — warehouse at Tiruppur (India’s largest garment-export cluster) supports fast turnaround for apparel and retail buyers
  • Patented ReX Process — NTIC’s proprietary technology for bio-resins with stable morphology and conventional-plastic performance
  • 13+ years in operation with consistent positive growth — EBITDA up 51.77% and book net worth up 16.29% in FY 2022–23

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Natur Tec India’s manufacturing technology is rooted in NTIC’s proprietary ReX Process, which produces bio-based resins with a unique and stable morphology — enabling high-performance compostable films and rigid parts that process well on conventional plastic-conversion equipment. This makes Natur-Tec® resins a drop-in sustainable alternative for converters who already run polyethylene or polypropylene lines.

The company operates multiple facilities in Tamil Nadu, including manufacturing units at Chrompet and Vanagaram (Chennai), and a warehouse hub at Tiruppur, India’s largest knitwear and garment-export cluster — placing Natur-Tec® in close proximity to one of its most important end-customer industries.

Distribution footprint: Beyond its own resin platforms, Natur Tec India is the authorised distributor of NatureWorks’ Ingeo™ PLA resins across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan, giving buyers access to a complete portfolio of compostable polymer grades from a single source.

Leadership:

  • Dr. Sundar Rajan Balakrishnan — Managing Director (PhD, Chemical Engineering)
  • Ramdas Gautam — Director
  • Vineet Raghuvir Dalal — Director All three directors have been associated with the company since incorporation in 2013.
