NGA Plastic Technology Private Limited In Chennai: Brands COLLIN & Britas Asia – Empowering India’s Polymer Industry With Localized Innovation
India’s plastics industry is experiencing a phase of strong and sustainable growth. Rising domestic demand, expanding export activities, and increasing quality expectations are driving processors to invest in modern, efficient, and future-ready technologies. Against this backdrop, the NGA Group took a strategic step to support the Indian market with advanced yet affordable polymer processing solutions – leading to the establishment of NGA Plastic Technology Private Limited and the launch of the brand COLLIN Asia and the product series EASY LINE.
Building a Strong Foundation Through Partnership
NGA Plastic Technology Private Limited was founded by the NGA Group, headquartered in Austria, in cooperation with Techscience Services Pvt. Ltd., Chennai. The shareholding structure – 80% NGA Group and 20% Techscience – combines global technology leadership with strong local expertise. Techscience brings more than three decades of experience in polymer processing and technical services, while the NGA Group contributes proven engineering know-how and innovation from Europe and beyond.
The NGA Group includes well-established companies such as COLLIN Lab & Pilot Solutions (Germany), BritAS Recycling-Anlagen GmbH (Germany), COMELT Collin Melt Solutions GmbH (Austria), as well as subsidiaries in the USA and Singapore. Today, NGA Plastic Technology Pvt. Ltd. operates as an affiliated company of COLLIN Lab & Pilot Solutions, ensuring direct access to well-proven technical expertise. However, EASY LINE systems are technically completely independent and are NOT compatible with COLLIN Lab & Pilot Solutions devices.
“The idea was very clear from the beginning,” says DI Dr. Friedrich Kastner, CEO / Managing Partner NGA Group. “Indian processors, research institutes, and training centres need the latest polymer processing technology – but adapted to local requirements and available at competitive costs.”
COLLIN Asia: Technology Designed for Growing Markets
“Under the brand COLLIN Asia, NGA Plastic Technology focuses on supplying emerging markets with easy-to-handle, table-top laboratory-scale testing and R&D lines, based on proven COLLIN technology and manufactured in India”, explains Rajnissh Soodd, CSO of NGA Plastic Technology Pvt. Ltd.
The first product series launched under this brand is the EASY LINE. These compact systems are designed for polymer processing in training, apprenticeship, research, and development, while offering industrially relevant process conditions. EASY LINE machines can be supplied as stand-alone units or configured into complete processing lines for pellets, strands, blown film, flat film, and sheets.
The EASY LINE portfolio includes press, extruder, compounder, blown film lines, flat film lines, roll mill and a pressure filter test unit. All machines feature an ergonomic, compact design and are engineered for simple operation.
EASY LINE MAX: Expanding Capabilities
To meet the increasing demand for larger output and wider films, NGA Plastic Technology expanded its range with the EASY LINE MAX series. This product line bridges the gap between laboratory equipment and pilot systems.
Currently, the EASY LINE MAX series includes a 400 mm blown film line and a 400 mm flat film line. These systems offer flexible configuration options, including two extruder sizes (ø25 x 30D and ø30 x 30D), compact installation, and intuitive operation – making them especially attractive for masterbatch, compounding, and film development applications.
Strong Global Presence Through Trade Fairs
Over the past years, COLLIN Asia has achieved significant international visibility through successful participation in major trade fairs.
At K 2025, NGA Plastic Technology celebrated two world premieres. The COLLIN Asia EASY LINE MAX 400 Flat Film Line was presented for the first time to the global audience in live operation. Equipped with a slot die SD 350 featuring flexible lip adjustment, optional lip heating, and central software control, the system attracted strong interest from visitors worldwide.
In addition, the BritAS Asia EASY LINE ABMF-0300-05 Automatic Belt Melt Filter was introduced. Designed for smaller throughputs, this system enables efficient removal of contaminants from plastic waste, producing high-quality regranulate. Based on proven BritAS technology, the EASY LINE version features a simplified design, fully automatic operation, and low operating costs. The system is manufactured in India and marketed jointly by NGA Plastic Technology and BritAS.
At NPE 2024, NGA Plastic Technology made its first appearance with two EASY LINE systems in live operation, marking the debut of the entire NGA Group at this major international exhibition.
“We were proud to present COLLIN Asia to a global audience for the first time,” say DI Dr. Friedrich Kastner and Crone Verstraten, majority owners of the NGA Group. “India is one of the most dynamic growth markets for the polymer industry, and local companies are increasingly investing in technologies that meet global standards.”
India as a Regional Technology Hub
Beyond serving the Indian market, NGA Plastic Technology also acts as a regional base.
“From our branch office, besides the Indian market, we can also serve Southeast Asia and Africa perfectly. This allows us to support customers quickly and efficiently across multiple growing regions.”
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, COLLIN Asia will continue to expand its product portfolio. According to DI Dr. Friedrich Kastner, CEO and Managing Partner of the NGA Group, local presence is a decisive success factor. “The future of extrusion in India lies in combining international technology standards with local manufacturing, service, and training. Having our own company on site allows us to understand customer needs, respond quickly, and build long-term partnerships.”
With its strong local foundation, proven technology, and long-term vision, COLLIN Asia is well positioned to support the continued growth of India’s plastics industry – today and in the years to come.
