Orbit Coatings, a leading innovative and sustainable coatings solutions provider and a diversified conglomerate, has entered the UAE market with the launch of its three revolutionary products as part of its global expansion strategy.

The Indian company is embarking on a global expansion through its UAE entity, Orbit Coatings UAE, which will be its regional headquarters. The company has plans to set up manufacturing facilities in the UAE to cater to the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) and other African markets and beyond.

“We are starting our international expansion from the UAE, which offers a great window to global markets. The UAE is receptive to all kinds of businesses with advanced technology and we are encouraged by the UAE government’s whole-hearted support to international businesses,” said Sandeep Sanghvi, Founder and Chairman of Orbit Coatings.

He was speaking at an event in Dubai to announce the UAE entry and the launch of three innovative products namely, Nano Cool Coat, NanoSafe Activa and NanoCare BioCoat.

The UAE operations are headed by three young entrepreneurs Ansh Kumar, Kevin Varghese and Majid Binkaram.

Kumar said NanoSafe Activa is a revolutionary self-cleaning and self-sanitising system to tackle toxic pollutants, bacteria, viruses, mould and odour.

“It is an industry-first, chemical-free coating that reduces the risk of contamination. The light-activated titanium is a shield for the environment. It is also a revolutionary shield against infection which lasts for up to one year,” he said.

Varghese said Nano Cool Coat is a heat-reflective cool roof paint to protect surfaces from heat, IR-rays and extreme weather through insulation and waterproofing capabilities. It is an eco-friendly and Green-Certified product with advanced IR protection which acts to reduce surface temperatures by up to 25 degrees C, thereby reducing the Urban Heat Island Effect with a warranty for up to 10 years.

Binkaram claimed that NanoCare BioCoat is the market’s first pearl shell-based natural paint and the only US FDA-certified paint that has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. The product eliminates toxic substances and odours within rooms and is designed to enhance the quality of private and commercial spaces.

Orbit Coatings has acquired a 7,000-sq-ft warehouse in Dubai and a blending plant will be set up by December, Sanghvi said, adding that the company is also planning to get into manufacturing.

He said Orbit Coatings will manufacture NanoCare BioCoat paint in the UAE to cater to the needs of the local market and the regional markets.
