Description : Allied Resins & Chemical Limited (ARCL) was formed in 1959 and has been serving the Plywood and Panel Industry since then. The company is the largest and the oldest wood adhesive manufacturer in India. In 1983, Mr. S.R. Mundra acquired the company.

With reforms setting in, the country was thrown open to International competition by lowering of import tariffs and with market driven economy. There was turmoil in the Industry and it was the period of the survival of the fittest. Then came buzzword "Core Competency". The name of the game was to add value and to think of a seamless world. ARCL rose to the occasion by setting up an integrated Petrochemical complex consisting of five new plants, with most modern, totally computerised and latest world class technology, in the year 1995. Though there are 35 Formaldehyde plants in the country today, ARCL's Rampur factory is the largest Formaldehyde based Chemical and Resin complex in India.

ARCL brought in rare technologies from the world to make Chemicals like Paraformaldehyde, first time in India and speciality Resins like Phenol Formaldehyde Spray Dried Powder first time in Asia. As a result it not only has an edge over its competitors in India, but is also growing fast in exports.

ARCL is among the first few industries in the country with their own large storage installations having direct connection with the port to enable the pumping of the chemicals directly from the vessels. Being virtually based on the port, ARCL has the most suitable infrastructure for export oriented business.
