Supreme Industries and Orbia Wavin join forces for water infrastructure growth

Supreme Industries collaborates with Orbia Wavin to acquire its India pipes business and exclusive technologies, thereby strengthening water infrastructure solutions in India and SAARC.  Completion is expected by June 2025.

Supreme Industries Ltd. (“Supreme”), India’s largest plastic pipe manufacturer, and the Building & Infrastructure (Wavin) business of Orbia Advance Corporation S.A.B. de CV (BMV: Orbia), a global leader in pipes and fittings, have announced a long-term partnership agreement.  According to the terms of the agreement, Supreme will acquire Orbia Wavin’s pipes and fittings business in India, as well as exclusive access to Orbia Wavin’s leading water management technologies in India and SAARC.  This strategic initiative will strengthen Supreme’s leadership position, use technology to expand Orbia’s customer reach, and hasten the robust growth of India’s building and infrastructure industry.

The partnership agreement calls for the transfer of Orbia Wavin’s manufacturing facilities in India to Supreme, as well as exclusive licensing access to Orbia Wavin’s broad technology portfolio, which includes cutting-edge solutions for water supply and sanitation, city-scale water management, agriculture, rainwater collection and reuse, and stormwater management.  With Supreme’s leading manufacturing footprint in India and extensive market reach through its committed distribution network of dealers and retailers across the country, the agreement provides a large-scale platform to deploy Orbia Wavin’s advanced technologies while also strengthening Supreme’s leadership position in residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural water infrastructure solutions across the high-growth subcontinent.

M.P. Taparia, Managing Director of Supreme, states, “This partnership accelerates our growth trajectory and enables us to deliver exceptional value to our customers. Combining Orbia Wavin’s technologies for water management and our manufacturing and distribution strengths, we are poised to secure India’s water management needs with advanced solutions as India’s economy is projected to more than double over the next decade.”

“Our partnership with Supreme is a giant leap forward for sustainable water management in India,” adds Sameer Bharadwaj, CEO of Orbia. “Supreme was a Wavin licensee for 25 years until 2017 and we are deeply honored to renew our partnership and massively scale it through innovation to meet India’s future needs. Supreme is fully committed to deploying Orbia Wavin’s advanced technologies for India’s growth through their ‘Make in India’ initiative. We see this agreement as a stepping stone for further collaborations with Orbia in the future.”

The agreement is subject to both companies’ confirmatory due diligence and regulatory approvals.  The process is expected to conclude in June 2025, with both companies providing relevant updates.
