REFA Chemical Industry is proud to announce the successful conclusion of its participation at AMTEX 2026 — Asian Machine Tool Exhibition, held from 24 to 27 July 2026 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
AMTEX is one of India’s most prestigious machine tool and manufacturing exhibitions, bringing together engineers, procurement professionals, quality managers, and decision makers from across the country’s manufacturing ecosystem under one roof. For REFA, AMTEX 2026 represented a significant milestone — our most ambitious exhibition participation to date, and a powerful platform to connect directly with India’s leading manufacturers.
REFA at Stall A9, Hall 09
Over four days at Stall A9, Hall 09, REFA showcased its complete range of industrial cleaning and surface treatment chemicals — from cutting and metalworking fluids to degreasers, phosphating chemicals, passivation, rust preventives, and specialty cleaners across 19+ product categories.
The booth featured live product demonstrations, before and after component displays showing the dramatic difference REFA’s cleaning and degreasing chemicals make on post-machined metal components, and detailed consultations with visitors on their specific surface treatment challenges.
The response was overwhelming. Hundreds of manufacturers, engineers, and procurement professionals visited our stall across the four days — validating the growing demand for eco-friendly, RoHS compliant industrial cleaning solutions in India’s manufacturing sector.
Leading OEMs and Their Ancillaries
AMTEX 2026 gave us the privilege of meeting representatives from some of India’s most respected manufacturing organisations. We had valuable conversations with teams from:
- Maruti Suzuki India Limited and their ancillary suppliers
- Honda and component manufacturers
- Hero MotoCorp and their vendor network
- JCB India and earth moving equipment ancillaries
- ACE Group and associated manufacturers
- And many more Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 auto component manufacturers from across India.
Each conversation gave us deep insight into the real challenges these manufacturers face on their production floors — from post-machining oil and chip removal, to achieving required millipore cleanliness values, preventing flash rust on CI and MS components, and ensuring coating-ready surfaces before powder coating, painting, and plating operations.
Understanding Requirements. Proposing Solutions.
What made AMTEX 2026 particularly meaningful for REFA was not just the volume of visitors — but the quality and depth of conversations.
Rather than simply presenting our product catalogue, our team took the time to understand each visitor’s specific manufacturing process, component materials, machine types, and quality standards. Based on this understanding, we proposed tailored chemical solutions from our range — whether it was our alkaline degreasers for heavy oil removal, our low temperature REFA SRD for spray-jet applications, our ultrasonic cleaning chemicals for precision components, or our specialised ADC12 degreasers for die casting facilities.
The response to our proposals was overwhelmingly positive. Multiple visitors acknowledged that REFA’s approach — understanding the problem first, then recommending the solution — was refreshingly different from the typical supplier interaction they experience at exhibitions.
A Team Effort
The success of AMTEX 2026 was a collective achievement. Our sales team engaged every visitor with energy, professionalism, and deep product knowledge. Our marketing team ensured REFA’s presence was felt — both on the exhibition floor and across digital platforms throughout the four days.
To every member of Team REFA who contributed to making this exhibition a success — we are proud of what we achieved together.
Dr. Md. Saifuddin on Why Cleaning & Degreasing is Non-Negotiable After Machining
One of the highlights of REFA’s presence at AMTEX 2026 was a candid on-floor video by our Founder & CEO, Dr. Md Saifuddin, sharing 25+ years of hard-won industry knowledge with manufacturers visiting our stall. Dr. Saifuddin explained a fundamental truth that many manufacturers learn the hard way — post-machining cleaning and degreasing is not an optional step. Every metal component that comes off a machine carries machining oils, coolant residues, metal chips, burrs, surface oxides, mill scale, and drawing compounds. If even a trace of these contaminants remains on the surface before coating, painting, plating, or phosphating — the outcome is predictable. Coating failure. Poor paint adhesion. Failed millipore values. Flash rust on MS and CI components. Quality rejections. OEM warranty claims. The contamination is invisible to the naked eye — but the consequences are very visible on the production floor.
The good news, as Dr. Saifuddin explained, is that the solution is not complicated. The right cleaning chemical — correctly formulated, applied at the right temperature, with the right dip or spray time — removes all contamination completely and delivers a surface that is coating-ready every time. REFA has been solving exactly this problem for auto component, cookware, electronics, solar, and railway manufacturers across India. Our cleaning and degreasing chemicals are eco-friendly, RoHS compliant, and compatible with MS, CI, SS, Aluminium, Aluminium Alloy, ADC12, Brass, and Copper — suitable for ultrasonic, spray-jet, and dip tank applications. Proven at Mahindra Group facilities and leading OEM supplier plants across North India. As Dr. Saifuddin put it simply — a dirty surface will always fail. Get your surface preparation right and everything else follows.
Faiz Ahmed Siddiqui on REFA’s Complete Degreasing and Surface Treatment Product Range
Also filmed live at AMTEX 2026, Faiz Ahmed Siddiqui — Executive Manager at REFA Chemical Industry — walked visitors through REFA’s complete product range covering every stage of the metal manufacturing process. From the very first machining operation to the final protective coating — REFA manufactures the right chemical for every step. The range includes cutting and metalworking fluids covering neat cutting oils, water soluble coolants, and drawing compounds; industrial degreasers and surface cleaners in alkaline, mild acid, and ultrasonic formulations; phosphating chemicals covering zinc, manganese, and iron phosphating; passivation and pickling chemicals for stainless steel and non-ferrous applications; and rust preventive oils for short, medium, and long term corrosion protection. Beyond the core surface treatment range, REFA also offers solar panel cleaning chemicals, railway component cleaners, and cookware and utensil cleaning chemicals — spanning 19+ categories across 100+ products.
What sets REFA’s product range apart is not just the breadth of categories but the depth of application knowledge behind each product. Every formulation in the REFA range has been developed and refined based on real customer challenges — from achieving specific millipore cleanliness values for Tier-1 OEM suppliers, to solving flash rust problems on CI components in ultrasonic cleaning machines, to developing ADC12-safe degreasers for die casting facilities. All products are eco-friendly and RoHS compliant — trusted by OEMs and Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 auto component manufacturers across North India. Whether your production line runs spray-jet machines, ultrasonic cleaners, or dip tanks — REFA has a proven solution for your specific process and material.
