Direct Sales Channel for Industrial Water Treatment in India

WILMINGTON, Del. (USA) — Solenis, a leading global specialty chemicals company, is investing to build a direct sales channel to serve the industrial water treatment market in India. This action follows Solenis' recent sale of its ownership share in a joint venture with Chembond Chemicals Limited.

Having served this region for more than 16 years through the joint venture, Solenis has a dedicated team of experienced professionals in place to manage the needs of the industrial water market in India.

"We are delighted to continue building strong business relationships with our customers in India and to help them manage their industrial water treatment challenges through our world-class specialty chemicals and technologies", stated Sachin Kukade, director, Asia Pacific. "We will continue investing in further capabilities to serve the India water treatment market."

As India proceeds to develop its industrial infrastructure, improvements in wastewater remediation to protect the environment will be necessary, as well as the need to manage water scarcity issues for industrial operations, said Nandkumar Dhekne, vice president, Asia Pacific. Solenis is well-positioned to help customers manage these challenges.

In 2015, Solenis established a direct channel to the fast-growing pulp and paper market in India and this action is another example of the company's commitment to continuous investment in this region.
