According to reports from Outlook Business and Rediff Moneynews, Vipul Organics' membrane unit, ADIMEM Technologies, has announced that it has successfully acquired an advanced industrial membrane sheet manufacturing platform from the Denmark facility of Aquaporin, a recognised Danish membrane technology company. The acquisition was completed through a competitive bidding process, marking a significant milestone in the company's membrane manufacturing journey. This strategic move aligns with the 'Make in India' initiative, reducing reliance on imported membrane technologies and advancing the company's target to have the membrane division contribute 25% of its total revenue within three years. As noted by Outlook Business, this acquisition is an important step in the company's vision of building a globally competitive membrane technology business from India. Vipul P. Shah, Managing Director of Vipul Organics Limited, emphasized that winning this platform through competitive bidding and bringing proven manufacturing infrastructure from a respected Danish membrane technology company to Sayakha meaningfully strengthens their vertical integration and supports the Make in India vision.
As reported by Outlook Business and Rediff Moneynews, the acquired platform comprises precision membrane casting, coating and drying infrastructure, along with associated process-control and manufacturing systems. The same production grade platform that Aquaporin used for its own membrane development and production will be relocated to ADIMEM's manufacturing facility in Sayakha, Gujarat. According to Outlook Business, the equipment was previously used by Aquaporin for membrane development and production. This acquisition provides ADIMEM with capability that typically takes years to build organically for advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Dr. Vatsal Shah, who leads ADIMEM Technologies, noted that membrane performance depends as much on precise, repeatable control of manufacturing parameters as on membrane chemistry, and acquiring proven infrastructure gives ADIMEM capability that typically takes years to build organically. The technology procurement occurs on the back of strong financial performance, with Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue rising 38.44% YoY to ₹52.18 crore and PAT nearly doubling to ₹2.52 crore.
According to Outlook Business and Rediff Moneynews, ADIMEM is already a commercial membrane business with capabilities spanning indigenous membrane R&D, product development, element manufacturing, quality control, performance testing and application engineering. The acquisition significantly strengthens its in-house membrane manufacturing capabilities, bringing advanced casting and coating infrastructure to a scale and reliability comparable to established global players. As noted by Outlook Business, the expanded manufacturing platform will add advanced casting and coating infrastructure to these capabilities and strengthen the company's in-house manufacturing capacity for reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The transition from mere assembly and R&D to end-to-end, in-house manufacturing is powered by the newly acquired advanced Danish manufacturing technology and the recently operationalized greenfield facility in Sayakha, Gujarat. According to Outlook Business, membrane performance depends heavily on precision in casting, coating and drying processes in addition to chemistry, making this acquisition particularly valuable for ADIMEM's growth trajectory. The acquisition marks a further step in vertically integrating the membrane value chain in India, reinforcing Vipul Organics' strategy of expanding into high-technology, sustainability-driven businesses.
As reported by Outlook Business and Rediff Moneynews, the strengthened platform will support ADIMEM's portfolio across RO, NF, UF, MF and MBR technologies, serving applications including industrial water treatment, wastewater recycling, desalination and specialised process separations. According to Outlook Business, these technologies are used in applications including industrial water treatment, wastewater recycling, desalination and specialised process separation. The acquisition enhances ADIMEM's capabilities across Reverse Osmosis, Nanofiltration, Ultrafiltration, and Microfiltration, targeting applications like industrial water recycling, wastewater treatment, and desalination. By manufacturing the membrane sheets in-house at Sayakha rather than relying on imports, Vipul Organics can scale up output, optimize margins, and offer cost-competitive solutions. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on India's rapidly growing water and wastewater treatment market, with the acquisition positioning Vipul Organics as one of the few domestic manufacturers capable of end-to-end production of RO and NF membrane sheets. As noted by Outlook Business, Dr. Vatsal Shah emphasized that the platform strengthens their ability to develop and manufacture world-class RO and NF membranes in India, for India and for the world, combining their indigenous R&D and existing element manufacturing, testing and application engineering capabilities with the advanced production-proven infrastructure.
