New Euromarker: From Solvent Yellow 124 to ACCUTRACE™ Plus Fuel Marker
India plays a pivotal role in our international operations, both as a growing market for sales and as an important hub for sourcing products.
Chematek India focuses on multiple industrial activities: developing new applications for our flagship reducing agent Synhydrid®, used by clients working in the areas of pharmaceuticals, flavours & fragrances; managing key sourcing operations in the fields of Petrochemicals & Fine Chemicals; and implementing relations with local suppliers for proprietary representation.
In 1979 we were one of the first European companies to develop business in India. In 2023 our Indian HQ is based at Nariman Point, Mumbai, with warehouses strategically located on both coasts for easy access to key markets.
“Our introduction with India dates back to the eighties when we started sourcing from India intermediates for dyestuffs where India had a predominant manufacturing position. Then, in the nineties, we established a local Joint venture (already named Chematek India) to supply petrochemicals additives in India which was later followed by a joint venture, sponsored by ENI, with a local manufacturer of lubricants to market Eni’s lubricants in India. We have an exceptional team working in India and are excited about the prospects of continued growth for many years to come.”
