Incorporated on 4 Sep.'85, Tainwala Chemicals & Plastics (India) Limited became Public Company in 1986. It was promoted by Ramesh Tainwala. The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing extruded plastic sheets of various polymers like PVC, PP, PPGL, HDPE, ABS etc. and sheet trading. These sheets have diverse application in the fabrication of industrial equipments, lining of chemical tanks, signboards, exhibition stalls, automobiles and white goods industry as well as pollution control equipment. These sheets are a very good substitute for conventional materials like wood, metal etc. due to its advantages of being tough, light and anticorrosive.

In 1993, it joined hands with another company Amut Spa, Italy for the expansion of its plastic sheet extrusion business. The Company's business of consumer products was subsidiarised into a new company, Tainwala Personal Care Products Limited in 1994, in order that better focus could be provided to the marketing of the products.
