Our story

We've been in polymers long before recycling was cool.

Leo Impex originated in 2011 with 18 years of polymer-compounding experience already on the table. We manufacture and market first-generation polymer compounds and recycled granules — with a clear bias for sustainable industrial solutions.

Leo Impex on the factory floor
Built on trust

Our ISO 9001:2015 certified services are the mandates we follow at every step. Every batch of reprocessed granules and flakes is delivered only after multiple rounds of testing — moisture analysis, melt flow index, density, filler content and specimen analysis.

That credibility is why global polymer leaders chose Leo Impex as their sole India representative — Epsan, Turkey, for globally approved high-performance polymer compounds suited to all OEMs; Trinseo, USA, for its renowned ABS and PC-ABS range; and Vamp Tech, Italy & Malaysia, for its extensive portfolio of flame-retardant polymer compounds, including more than 100 UL-approved grades. In addition, we maintain a long-term collaboration with Barnet India Pvt. Ltd. for the supply and distribution of INVISTA PA66 (Nylon) grades.

Through these strong international partnerships, Leo Impex brings globally trusted, high-performance and innovative polymer solutions to the Indian market, backed by quality, reliability and technical expertise.
