About Us

We don’t only produce sodium silicate at Growmore, we’ve been creating the future of the business for more than 25 years. From humble beginnings with a small furnace that was churning out 25 tons per day, we’ve evolved into a brand synonymous with quality, boasting a production capacity of 180 tons per day across two new manufacturing units, driven by a vision of innovation, sustainability, and commitment.

Founded in 2000 by visionary businessman Mr. Ashish Patel, Growmore Glass and Ceramics has expanded over the years, driven by decades of consistent performance, customer trust, and technological advancements. In 2024, his son, Mr. Shrey Patel, a Chemical Engineering graduate from Columbia University, USA, stepped in to take command of the company, marking a new phase of global thinking and technical expertise.

Mission 

To supply secure, high-purity sodium silicate solutions that power industries globally, with unrelenting commitment to sustainability, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

Vision

To be a global leader in sodium silicate production with technology-led growth, sustainable manufacturing, and long-term relationships that stand the test of time.

Who We Are 

We have been manufacturing sodium silicate at Growmore Glass and Ceramics for more than two decades. This venture, defined by growth, innovation, and striving for greatness, began when we saw an opportunity to standardize sodium silicate production. We championed innovation, built sustainable growth, and forged long-term partnerships. Driven on our journey to supply high-quality sodium silicate products and their chemical solutions to the industry globally with some strategic thinking & execution. 

Expanding Horizons:

GR Industries & Axcel Industries 

Mr. Ashish Patel made moves to establish GR Industries & Axcel Industries  and registered them in 2011. Given the increased global demand for sodium silicate, both companies are derived from the same integrated facility and operate alongside each other to enhance efficiencies, decrease turnaround times, and allow speedy delivery for customers. The consolidation of GR Industries and Axcel Industries, and the establishment of a fully integrated factory, was how we could immediately increase our production capacity, and capabilities to meet the growing demand from our customers while maintaining quality, performance and reliability.

Diversification:

AASH Chemicals 

In 2022, we expanded by initiating AASH Chemicals, a trading arm that supplies raw materials and specialty chemicals to a wide range of industries including Water Treatment, Pharmaceuticals and Paper Manufacturing. AASH Chemicals will complement our core operations by sourcing raw materials for the chemical production, and play a significant role in our global outreach, facilitating exports.

With a footprint of 365,000+ sq. ft., a strength of 50+ energetic individuals, and state-of-the-art regenerative furnace technology, we are well-positioned to cater to the growing demand of Indian and international clients.

Sectors 

We support 

Textile Processing Industries

Sodium Silicate is often included for dye fixation to facilitate better colour fastness and wearability, as well as being used as a component in textile treatments.

Precipitated Silica Industries

Sodium Silicate is used as a raw material ingredient in producing types of precipitated silica used in tyres, rubber, cosmetics and other allied industries.

Soap & Detergent Manufacturing

Sodium Silicate is used as a builder and stabiliser in household and industrial soaps and detergents to increase the binding and cleansing properties.

Construction Chemicals 

Sodium Silicate has strength and protection capabilities.  It can be used as a concrete hardener, surface sealer and waterproofing for its highly valued use in infrastructure and sustainable build applications.

Ceramics & Tiles 

Sodium Silicate can function as a binder for making tiles and ceramics to assist with material strengths and accuracy in the processes.

Pulp & Paper Industry 

Sodium Silicate can help improve bleaching processes and strip away ink in recycled paper products.

Foundries & Refractories 

Sodium Silicate can help create bonds for making moulds and sand cores for metal casting and is included as an ingredient in making refractories to withstand heat and temperatures and increase their binding properties. 

Sustainable Construction (Geopolymer Materials) 

Sodium silicate is used in combination with various recycled materials, including aluminosilicate products such as fly ash or slag, to produce geopolymer concrete instead of conventional cement.

Oil & Gas (Oilwell Drilling) 

Sodium silicate is used in drilling fluids and cementing to stabilize boreholes and improve performance in high-pressure settings.
