Mumbai, (Maharashtra) [India], 14 July 2025: Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of building and construction materials, marked Founder’s Day 2025 across all its locations with pride and renewed purpose. The occasion served as a reminder of the company’s remarkable journey from a modest beginning to becoming an industry leader with a growing global presence.
From a single manufacturing unit to 25 plants across India, Walplast has steadily expanded its footprint, offering innovative solutions to construction practices in over 23 countries. This growth reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to integrity, innovation, and trust. Founder’s Day celebrations across Walplast locations paid tribute to these values while outlining the company’s continued focus on future-ready solutions and a customer-centric approach.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Ashok Mehta, Founder & Chairman of Walplast, said, “Founder’s Day marks the beginning of our journey and the principles we built Walplast on. From the beginning, our goal was to deliver quality with honesty. Over the years, we have grown in size and reach, but our focus remains to create value, stay accountable, and lead with integrity. Innovation and inclusion continue to guide how we operate and expand. The strength of Walplast comes from the people who work with us, the customers who choose us, and the communities we engage with. That is what motivates us to move forward.”
Walplast also used the occasion to highlight recent milestones in its growth strategy.

Founder’s Day celebrations included employee engagement activities and recognition programs across all locations, celebrating the contributions of the Walplast family.
“Founder’s Day is a celebration of our purpose and progress. Over the years, we have expanded steadily, and that has been possible because we have stayed focused on product quality, on building reliable teams, and on being accountable to our customers and partners. The approach has not changed. We are here to solve real problems in construction with practical solutions. As we move forward, we will continue to focus on efficient operations, responsible practices, and steady, consistent progress,” said Mr. Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director – Walplast.
