Berger Paints celebrates century-long legacy and relocates headquarters within Kolkata

Kolkata, Feb 10 (UNI) Berger Paints India Ltd has strategically relocated its headquarters to New Town, Kolkata's burgeoning business hub.
West Bengal Minister for Industries, Commerce & Enterprises and Department of Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Dr Shashi Panja along with the senior management of Berger Paints officially inaugurated the new headquarters in New Town.
The eight-storeyed office building spans approximately across 190,000 square feet, resembling the shape of a paint can.

Abhijit Roy, MD & CEO, Berger Paints India Limited, commented, “From our inception in Bengal to celebrating a centenary in India, we’ve consistently reinforced our commitment to the state’s socio-economic growth. Our new headquarters in New Town, Kolkata, epitomizes our focus on creating an agile, future-ready workspace. Starting with a modest facility in Howrah in 1923, we have evolved into the second-largest player in Bengal by market capitalization.
While many companies relocated, we’ve firmly embedded ourselves in Bengal’s socio-economic fabric. Of our three operational units, two—ICI India’s Rishra unit and STP’s Singur unit—were strategically acquired, upgraded to state-of-the-art manufacturing hubs with advanced technologies and expanded capacities. Our acquisitions focus on responsible talent retention, ensuring seamless integration and continuity of the workforce."

"Operating from Bengal, we have successfully penetrated global markets, establishing ourselves as the 7th largest architectural coatings company worldwide. Over the past 100 years, we have been able to secure the grounds by the dint of which we have been able to be part of some of the most prestigious projects of the country. From painting the walls of the Indian Parliament House to the Vande Bharat train, Kolkata Metro, the iconic Wankhede Stadium, and many other prestigious landmarks, we have left our mark on some of India’s most iconic infrastructure projects.
As the 2nd largest decorative paints company in India, we are scaling our retail presence with a targeted focus on the high-potential Southern and Western India," he said.
