The Carbon and Glass Fibre Products industry is experiencing robust growth, driven by rising demand across sectors like aerospace, wind energy, automotive, defense, and construction. This expansion is fueled by technological advancements and the need for materials with exceptional mechanical strength and thermal conductivity. In India, government investments in defense and satellite applications further boost this growth, reflecting a broader trend of integrating advanced materials into both commercial and governmental projects.
Within this dynamic industry, Creative Fibre Products Pvt. Ltd., based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, stands out as a leader. As the sole producer of carbon fiber surface veils, glass fibre surface veils and glass mat battery separators in India, the company offers a range of specialized solutions, including corrosion-resistant materials and gas diffusion layer substrates.
Expertise and Custom Solutions
The carbon fiber industry in India grapples with challenges related to the limited awareness of its processing capabilities and applications. Many industry players lack a comprehensive understanding of carbon fiber's advantages, leading to suboptimal material selection and usage.
“To address this, our firm employs a meticulous approach by first assessing the specific application and required material properties. We leverage our expertise in the wet lay-up process to produce non-woven fabrics with exceptional consistency and uniformity.
Our focus is on delivering tailor-made solutions that meet stringent industry standards and client specifications. By collaborating closely with customers to finalize product requirements and ensuring that each product adheres to high-quality standards, we bridge the knowledge gap and provide reliable carbon fiber solutions for diverse applications”, speaks Romi Patel.
The firm's success hinges on its strong R&D capabilities, which drive innovation and growth. Significant investments in advanced technologies and process optimizations enhance its wet lay-up and non-woven fabric production. Strategic collaborations with universities and industry partners support its research, including a new R&D center with a pilot line for material experimentation and process refinement. With production capacities from 8 GSM to 200 GSM non-woven fabrics, the company caters to both standard and customized applications, engaging closely with clients to develop tailored solutions.
“At Creative Fibre Products, our approach to meeting diverse client needs involves not only advanced production techniques but also the ability to customize solutions through a range of binder systems and fiber blends. We offer hybrid solutions that combine carbon fiber with other materials such as glass fiber, polyester fiber, and Aramid fiber to meet specific performance requirements, such as enhanced dielectric properties. This flexibility allows us to deliver tailored products that leverage the unique benefits of each fiber type. For tailor-made applications, our process includes close collaboration with clients, incorporating their feedback to refine and adjust the products as needed”, shares Romi Patel.

Strategic Expansion
The firm is poised for significant growth with plans to expand its capacity tenfold by 2025. This major expansion will focus on increasing its production of glass fiber non-woven fabrics, particularly for applications in building construction materials and battery separators, including those for lead acid, lithium, and fuel cell batteries. While the current facility is dedicated to high-end applications like carbon, aramid, silica, and metal fibers, the new production line will specialize entirely in glass fiber.
This strategic shift will elevate the company to new heights. Additionally, the firm is establishing a cutting-edge R&D incubator center, which will serve as a pivotal milestone, enabling it to drive innovation and develop new-generation materials. This expansion and research capability will solidify its position as a leader in the advanced materials sector.
