AS PER WEBSITE DETAILS:

And it continuously evokes a sense of challenge. A challenge that demands from men, dedication & foresight. One such man was Mr. R. M. Nanavati, the founder of Nanavati & Co. Private Limited, who visualised the potential of importing and trading in chemicals, dyestuffs and fertilizers.

Soon enough, the company was providing critical support in enhancing the chemical and agriculture revolution in India.

Moving ahead dramatically, Nanavati & Co. became one of the largest and most reputed importers of dyestuffs, sulphur and fertilizers.

Soon after India became independent, most industries were nationalised. This put restrictions on the imports of chemicals and dyestuffs.

This disadvantage was suitably countered by Mr. R M Nanavati and the present Chairman Mr. S B Jhaveri. Together they decided to diversify into Manufacturing.

In the past few decades The Nanavati Group has been creating a niche at the top in the manufacture of dyes and pigment intermediates, trading and merchant export of various chemicals. One of the reasons for this success is due to the group’s allegiance to Operational Excellence.

Mr. R M Nanavati, the founder of the group believed, “Operational Excellence is the ability to provide a combination of Quality, Price and Service.”
