Elf group a true partner of India
Elf ATO, the Sanmar group’s joint venture partner, has been keen on developing research and development capabilities in India. Towards this end, it has entered into a tie-up with Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Chennai, to conduct research on the use of certain fluorinated polymers for producing waterproof and oil proof leathers. The other areas of research include molecular modelling to understand the relationship between structures and properties of polymers. The project, expected to be completed in two years, will cost Rs.35.00 lakh. The Elf ATO tie-up will help CLRI to establish themselves in the global market, with a cost-efficient R & D centre.
