For more than six decades, Tilley Distribution has created lasting strategic partnerships that allow us to connect our customers with some of the leading specialty ingredient manufacturers worldwide.
Our new distribution relationship with Aditya Birla Group reflects that constant investment in connection.
Meet Aditya Birla Advanced Materials, Tilley’s Epoxy Supplier of Choice
Founded in 1857, Aditya Birla Group has grown into a $65 billion global business built on exceptional quality and an uncompromised commitment to its values. The firm is headquartered in Mumbai, India, but owns and operates a portfolio of businesses in over 40 countries powered by 187,000 committed team members representing 100 nationalities.
One of the organization’s many bright spots is epoxy manufacturing. Today, Aditya Birla Group Advanced Materials is one of the most respected epoxy companies in the world and one of Tilley’s valued strategic partners.
Bob Hall, VP of Product Line Development for Tilley Distribution, voiced our enthusiasm for the partnership. “We are very excited to be representing Aditya Birla, a world-class leader in the epoxy marketplace thanks to their major investments in capacity both in Asia and the USA and leading product lines. We look forward to helping them grow their offerings into the US markets and provide our customers with the utmost quality products and breadth of offerings into the future.”
It’s a sentiment echoed by Dave Woodcock, Business Development Manager of the Americas “The addition of Tilley Distribution is a critical component of our road maps and strategy to grow in the Americas and serve our customer base. Tilley’s experience and knowledge of the market will help us to leverage our technologies in this valuable segment”.
Three Ingredients to Supplier Success
A shared value of Tilley and Aditya Birla Group is the constant investment in creating long-term solutions for our clients.
Across the specialty chemistry space, especially in the CASE category, clients are looking for supply chain diversification, risk mitigation and a selection of sustainable ingredients. Aditya Birla’s substantial investments in these solutions have strengthened its position as the epoxy supplier of choice worldwide. We are thrilled to serve as the primary distribution partner of epoxy resins and related products.
Supply Chain Resilience
Mirroring the global nearshoring investments by manufacturers since pandemic-era disruptions, North American firms are looking for epoxy manufacturers in the US to augment existing epoxy suppliers in India and Southeast Asia.
Understanding the long-term realities of the market, Aditya Birla Advanced Materials has built epoxy manufacturing facilities in the US. The company’s Texas-based operations will dramatically accelerate order fulfillment, improve customer service and foster the creation of new epoxy products through custom blending and formulation for its US customers.
Sustainable Epoxy Resin Options
As industry regulation changes, epoxy sustainability equates to product viability. Aditya Birla is focused on producing different types of epoxy that are more sustainable than other manufacturers while maintaining competitive pricing.
This sustainability-first approach is unique among manufacturers and promises to be a key differentiator in the market in the future.
Resources to Meet Diverse Industry Challenges
Like many underrecognized chemicals, the epoxy ingredients Aditya Birla manufactures are vital to an array of end-use applications, many of which are heavily influenced by geopolitical volatility and public and private investment.
Some of those most highly dynamic industries include:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Construction
- Electronics
- Renewable energy, including wind turbines
- CASE formulations
Across applications, epoxy resin manufacturers must adjust formulations based on end-use segments, changing regulation and sustainability guidelines and competition between suppliers. There’s plenty of growth in the segment, forecast to grow at 7.3% CAGR through 2030, led by its top performer, solid epoxy resin. Subsidy-driven growth in electronics and construction promises to keep the US epoxy market moving in the near and long term.
“Working with Tilley to drive our strategic growth in the composites segment will be a real force multiplier as we collaborate and support Tilley’s customer base and expand our reach with new customers around our innovative technology platforms. These technology platforms as applied to composites allows our partners to reduce their carbon footprint as well as provide a path to circularity in end of life as well as manufacturing waste.”
