Clariant, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, has doubled the capacity of its pigments and pigment preparations.
The company inaugurated the new extension to its production facility in Roha, south east of Mumbai, on Tuesday. Clariant has invested Rs 20 crore in the capacity expansion.
The increased output will enable the company to increase its market coverage in India and the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Pigments and pigment preparations produced at the Roha plant are for a wide range of applications, including interior and exterior coatings, packaging, personal, home and fabric care products, seed coatings, and dispersions for printing.
