The industrial paints and coating industry plays a vital role in providing protective and aesthetic metal finishing solutions across sectors like automotive, construction, renewable energy, defence/ordinance, marine, telecom, railway and in the production of engineered metal parts, like forgings and castings, required by various industries.
With increasing emphasis on durability, reliability and ecological safety, paint manufacturers have strived, globally, to create high quality coatings that are resistant to corrosion without the toxic materials that protective paints contained in decades past.
Driven by rising industrialization and a concern for the health of its people, Indian industry has made a gradual shift to using chrome-free, low VOC emitting coatings as a specialized and sustainable solution offered by this technology. Corrodyne Coatings in Pune stands out as a leader in the metal surfacing industry for parts like fasteners, springs, press parts and stampings, brackets, clips, ball studs and a host of engineered items required by industries stated above.
Sustainable Solution
Corrodyne Coatings stays ahead of evolving quality standards by addressing customer concerns about cost-effective coatings, product quality, service life, and quick response to critical supply needs. This collaborative approach ensures alignment with supplier promises to OEMs and end-users.
The company uses a range of zinc-rich coatings, primarily Magni products from Michigan, which have been in use globally for over 40 years. ISO/IATF certified since 2012, the firm follows industry standards and is committed to sustainability and carbon reduction through Zn-flake technology.
The company has implemented this technology in Pune and South India, with plans to expand across India.
Corrodyne Coatings' success is driven by a team of experienced directors and a dedicated shop floor workforce, each with years of expertise in anti-corrosion coatings and engineering. The company’s 25-member team, with an average tenure of over eight years, is led by Pradeep P. Mane, CEO, who joined the company in 2013 after five years in the metal finishing industry, particularly in Zn-flake coatings.
His leadership ensures the team is well-trained in customer service and technical problem-solving, utilizing practices like 8D problem solving and why-why analysis. Navroze S. Marshall is MD of Simmonds Marshall, a premier maker of specialty nuts and fasteners and a flagship unit of the J N Marshall group of companies. As such, he brings a wealth of business experience to his position as Director and shareholder in Corrodyne.
Khushru S. Devitre, Managing Director and shareholder, brings valuable experience from his earlier ventures, including BarCorr Coatings, which specialized in Zn-flake coatings for Sundram Fasteners. Since 2012, he has been instrumental in the company’s growth. Corrodyne Coatings is dedicated to continuing to provide high-quality, environmentally clean, corrosion-resistant coating services to extend the life and performance of metal products supplied across various industries, both within India and abroad.

Future Roadmap
As projected by Pradeep Mane, Corrodyne Coatings has plans to expand in to two other states that are showing promise for becoming thriving industrial hubs for a variety of ancillary manufacturing companies. Both show the potential for producing high volume metal finishing work, with each deserving of having a coating application plant located within easy reach.
These new facilities, installed by 2027, will serve dual objectives. One, of increasing the company’s geographic reach into areas still underrepresented by new age, eco-safe, metal finishing services and two, of being within comfortable distance, given India’s much improved motorways, of states that already have mature and massive industrial bases.
This strategic expansion will not only strengthen the firm’s market presence but also allow it to better serve new clients with a highly performing metal finish that is applied cold, in a clean non-electrolytic process. A process that will gain traction if India is looking to grow the export market for its cars, trucks and myriad engineering products, while also helping to limit harm to the environment.
