In 1959, Mr. Yusuf A. Galabhaiwala founded Galalite with a vision to provide high-quality cinema theatre screens for Mumbai’s thriving film industry. What began as a small family-run business crafting cinema screens from his home with the support of his two brothers has today evolved into a global leader in cinema screen innovation.
Now led by the third generation, Galalite operates state-of-the-art production facilities in India and a cutting-edge plant in Poland, delivering world-class screens to cinemas across 50+ countries. As the first Indian company to coat screens in-house, transition from cotton to plastic screens, and pioneer invisible welding techniques, Galalite continues to set new benchmarks in projection technology.
Trusted by cinema chains, and integrators worldwide, we remain committed to redefining the movie-going experience through advanced innovations like Lensray™ Technology and the award-winning Mirage XDL Series.
