DKSH has moved into brand-new offices in Mumbai – larger than 1,000 square metres. Both state-of-the-art innovation centres, one for the personal care and the other for the food and beverage industry, will be upgraded and reopened within the next months.
Mario Preissler, Head Business Unit Performance Materials, DKSH says, “The new premises in the ‘Fantree Building’ finally unify all teams and facilities under one roof: sales, technical, sourcing and R&D staff.”
In addition, DKSH has recently established strategic partnerships for India with blue-chip chemical manufacturers Clariant, Wacker and Synthomer to provide tailored market expansion services while offering comprehensive distribution opportunities for their products in the Indian market. For Clariant, DKSH will represent the complete range of ingredients for cosmetic and home care formulations. The collaboration with Wacker focuses on personal care, silicones and food ingredients. Synthomer, one of the world’s leading producers of emulsion polymers for coatings, construction chemicals and adhesives, will now have its products made available through the extensive DKSH network in India.
DKSH leverages on a capillary distribution network and local market expertise in India. Through seven sales offices in the major industrial centres of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, New Delhi and Secunderabad, the company is serving over 2,000 customers in the coatings, construction, cosmetics, food and beverage, pharma and plastics industries within India.
The new partnerships will reportedly strengthen DKSH’s market position in India while contributing incrementally to the Group’s overall earnings and profitability over time.
