The company’s accelerated growth story is reflective of the additional impetus placed on new international business collaborations. The new facility in Ambernath has been powered to cater to the growing demand from the textile space. High momentum in the specialty chemical space saw larger orders and the double-digit volume growth will continue.
Fineotex Chemical founded in 1979 is one of India’s largest and leading specialty chemical manufacturers. The company manufactures specialty chemicals for a host of industry segments including textiles, oil and gas, and the home and hygiene space. Its wide array of products covers the end-to-end value chain process of the textile industry including pre-treatment, dyeing, printing, etc.
In November, Fineotex Chemical launched its new facility in Ambernath, on the outskirts of Mumbai. The new manufacturing hub is one of the several new investments FCL has made in recent months. The new plant was a logical and necessary step in strengthening the company’s competitive position at local and global levels.
All the recent developments by Fineotex signal the deep commitment of the company towards ensuring that its customers have access to top-end and sustainable chemistries.
