Elkay was setup in 1990 by four US returned technocrats to develop, manufacture and market specialty silicone products for Indian as well as global markets. Since its first commercial production in 1994 at its Bhosari, Pune facility, the company has expanded over 45 folds with the present capacity of over 5,500 MT/year of specialty silicone fluids, emulsions and formulations.  Elkay commenced exports in 1998 and today exports half of its annual output. With ever expanding exports to America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Middle East we have a truly global presence.
