OrthoLite Scales Foaming Facility in India

OrthoLite layed the foundation for the OrthoLite Foaming Plant in India. This marks a significant step forward in OrthoLite’s strategy to localize the entire product creation process from end to end while strengthening service and production capabilities to support regional and global brand partners.

“We will produce the full OrthoLite range of comfort foams as we ramp up, including standard PU comfort insoles, hybrid formulations with recycled and regrind content, and low-density lightweight foams for sports and lifestyle footwear", as per the country general manager.

Majority of the production will be supplied to Indian footwear manufacturers, but the company also plans to support the global supply chain as it scales up production and capacity at the site. Equipment at the new facility has largely been supplied by Indian and Chinese companies.

The plant will focus on sustainability in all operations, including energy-efficient production, waste and water stewardship, and circular practices that help minimize environmental impact. An on-site laboratory ensures rigorous quality control, and dedicated safety modules support a culture of looking out for its people and the planet. 

OrthoLite India will focus on ensuring consistency across all foam formulations, assuring the highest standards while qualifying new programmes, reducing scrap, and launching advanced digital monitoring tools for transparency and reliability. With this strategic expansion, the company is positioned to deliver high-performance comfort solutions locally for global brands.
