‘We have everything you need. We are happy to serve you’

Practically there is no facet of our day to day Life which has remain untouched by Plastics and Polymers.

Right from the Clothes we wear, the Gadgets we use, the Cars we drive and Packaging of of Food we eat all have one thing in common, usage of Plastics and Polymers. SUGOI Enterprises has a wide range of Plastic and Polymer products including Master Batches, Compounded Products and Alloy Polymers.
