Pursuant to an agreement for the purchase of the Permacel business of Johnson and Johnson Limited (J & J), dated August 10, 1999 between J & J and the company, the Permacel division of  J & J was transferred to the company.

In India, it started its' operations in the late 1950s as a division of Johnson & Johnson.  Being in the forefront of innovations and technology by the late 1970s, the company was the market leader of identification labels, insulation products and speciality tapes business in India.

 

In the global restructuring process, the world-wide business of Permacel was sold by Johnson and Johnson in the early 1980s.  Permacel India was an exception and continued as part of Johnson & Johnson (India) till it was taken over in August, 1999 by Premchand Roychand and Sons.  The new company was christened PRS Permacel Private Limited.

The Premchand family's business activities in India date back to 1856.  The Group's originator, was Seth Premchand Roychand one of the most prominent personalities in the financial markets of his time, was one of the founder member of Bombay Stock Exchange.  The apex entity in the family business is the firm of Premchand Roychand & Sons (PRS).  Group company Preroy AG, Zug, Switzerland, provides assistance and specialised financial consulting services to European and American companies interested in doing business in India.

Permacel was originally founded in 1927 as the industrial products division of the health care giant Johnson & Johnson to produce and market masking tape. Over the years Permacel grew to be one of the world's leading companies in tapes, with a large range of innovations to its credit. It is believed that,the word PERMACEL was derived from 'Permanent Cellulose Tapes'. The ubiquitous CELLOTAPE used even today was originally made by PERMACEL. In addition, Permacel ‘Duct Tape’ was the only tape selected by ‘FORTUNE’ magazine (November 22, 1999,Page No.81) in its ‘Products of the Century’ series.

In India, Permacel started  its operations in the late 1950s as a division of Johnson & Johnson (India). The initial years saw Permacel establishing itself as the Indian leaders in Tapes manufacturing. In the late 1960s, Permacel entered the label making business pioneering speciality-printing technology in India.

Being in the forefront of innovations and technology by the late 1970s, Permacel was the market leader in the Identification Labels, Insulation Products and Speciality Tapes business in India. 

The company plans to enter into corrosion business.  It also intends to enter into another manufacturing activity, which is kept confidential.

 

The company is part of Premchand Group.

PRS Permacel, having over 25 years of experience in brand protection, appreciates the business need for brand protection, and has established new business division Kavach to promote its brand protection business. Kavach is dedicated to helping brand owners fight the menace of counterfeiting, duplication, re-circulation, diversion, refilling and various other forms of brand attack.

Permacel India was an exception and continued as part of Johnson & Johnson (India) till it was taken over in August 1999 by Premchand Roychand and Sons.
