Somany Ceramics has acquired a majority stake in Durabuild, a Delhi-based manufacturer of construction chemicals, marking its strategic entry into the rapidly expanding construction chemicals market.
Somany’s long-term strategy is to transform it into a total building solutions provider, offering products that not only elevate aesthetics but also strengthen the core of built structures. Durabuild will now operate under the flagship brand ‘Somany’, emerging as a strategic pillar within Somany’s Home and Building Solutions vertical.
Founded in 1998 by the late Dhananjoy Ghanti and currently spearheaded by Mr Rudrabir Ghanti, Durabuild brings with it a strong legacy of R&D-driven innovation. With a product portfolio of over 200 SKUs across waterproofing systems, concrete admixtures, tile adhesives, protective coatings, grouts, sealants, and repair mortars, serving major institutional clients across North India. With its manufacturing base in Bahadurgarh, Durabuild has built a credible presence for over two decades..
Abhishek Somany, Managing Director & CEO, said, “This acquisition is a strategic leap in our journey to become a full-spectrum building materials brand. Durabuild’s technical heritage and institutional trust, combined with Somany’s pan-India brand and distribution network, give us the right foundation to scale this business nationwide.”
