ZURICHDKSH strengthened its presence in India by opening new offices in the region and starting collaborations with clients Clariant, Wacker and Synthomer.

The company, a specialty chemicals distributor, moved into two facilities in Mumbaione for the personal care and the other for the food and beverage industry. Both facilities will be upgraded and reopened within the next months.

In addition, DKSH recently established partnerships for India with blue-chip chemical manufacturers Clariant, Wacker and Synthomer to provide tailored market expansion services, while also 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, a producer of emulsion polymers for coatings, construction chemicals and adhesives, will have its products made available through the DKSH network in India.
