Dubai-based Delta Coatings, a leading manufacturer of polyurea-based coatings and waterproofing solutions, has appointed Nilesh Panchal as its new Head of Research and Development. 

 

With over 13 years’ work experience at German conglomerate, Covestro, a key upstream supplier of raw materials to Delta Coatings, Panchal has already worked on hundreds of successful projects alongside Delta over the past decade, cementing a strong collaborative relationship, said a statement from the company.

 

One of the top international experts in polymers and CASE elastomers, Panchal will be spearheading new product development and the customization of polyurea-based solutions at Delta. 

 

His efforts will focus on addressing the growing demand for advanced solutions within the major infrastructure projects Delta undertakes worldwide, as well as expanding its extensive DeltaShield product range.

 

Panchal’s appointment further strengthens Delta’s commitment to providing cutting-edge technical support and maintaining its position as a global leader in innovative coating and waterproofing solutions. 

 

With his leadership, the company will continue to deliver expert guidance and superior products to meet the evolving challenges of the construction and infrastructure sectors.

 

On this new development, Paul Symons, the Sales Director, said: "We are honored to have a qualified chemist with the vast experience of Nilesh join our company. We already have a strong working relationship with him, and it was a natural progression to have him lead our R&D division."

 

"With his expertise, Nilesh will head our new laboratory being built in Dubai Industrial City, so it’s perfect timing as he can put his stamp on this new state-of-the-art facility," stated Symons.

 

"In recent years, we have seen increased awareness of the superior qualities of polyurea-based coating and waterproofing solutions, especially within the architecture and construction sectors, which is driving demand for our DeltaShield products globally," said the senior official. 

 

"Additionally, we are seeing more turnkey construction projects for major infrastructure and mega-projects where polyurea-based solutions are being specified. We are delighted to have Nilesh on board to support our growing operations and help meet the needs of our international clients," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
