DSM Dyneema high-end protective solutions for Indian market

With the soldier modernisation programme underway in the country, DSM Dyneema is hoping to make significant breakthroughs in the market with their path-breaking technologies, one of which was launched for the Asia-Pacific market at Defexpo. On February 6, the company introduced Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology for life protection and at the show there has been enthusiastic response.

Shitij Chabba, Global Business Segment Director (Life Protection) and Nicole Ng, Marketing Manager, Life Protection, APAC, told SP’s ShowNews that there is increased awareness not just in the armed forces, but also in the VIP segment for ‘lighter protection’ materials. The innovative technology has reduced the weight of the protection vests by almost 30 per cent as per the current industry benchmarks.

DSM Dyneema is on a two-path process of introducing technologies in various markets. The radical innovation process is spread over three years while micro-innovation process designs quality products at an affordable price, said Chabba.

The market in India is huge and DSM Dyneema will be co-partnering with an Indian partner to address the needs of India, said Nicole. The key countries in APAC at present are Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and also India.
