Welcome to Encore Natural Polymers Private Limited

We, "Encore Natural Polymers Private Limited", are an Indian company in the business of manufacturing different native and derivatized natural polymers for varied applications. Our company was previously known as "Indian Gum Industries Ltd." (IGI).  IGI was founded in 1958 through a technical and financial collaboration with the Cesalpinia Group, Italy (acquired by Hercules Inc., in 1971), to supply Guar seed based polysaccharides.

In 1987 IGI became an Indian owned company, when Hercules and Henkel decided to merge their water-soluble polymers businesses. Today, owing to the reorganization of the parent Merchant family, the Ahmedabad business division of IGI independently operates under the name Encore Natural Polymers Private Limited.
