Corporate Profile

“No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”
Charles Adams

 

At Meghmani Organics Limited, our ideological leanings resonate with this thought. They believe that growth is built on doing better than what is good enough, rising above individual limitations and transgressing the borders of circumstantial impediments.

 

About them

It was in 1986, when Gujarat Industries was established as a partnership firm in Gujarat, India to manufacture pigments. High productivity and profitability transformed Gujarat Industries to a joint stock company, under the name of Meghmani Organics Limited, by 1995. Since then Meghmani Organics Limited has diversified its business interests to include a range of pesticides and other pigment products as well.

 

Today, Meghmani Organics Limited is a leading manufacturer of pigment and pesticide products in the country and is the recipient of several prestigious awards in recognition of its outstanding business performance.

 

Company Overview

Sound fundamentals, outstanding export performance, strong presence in the domestic market and a focused management team has seen Meghmani Organics Limited grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% and profits 10% over the past 3 years

The Rs 6000 million Rupees Meghmani Organics Limited is:

 

One of the largest producers of pigment blue in the world

 

One of the leading producers of pigment green

 

One of the largest producers of pesticides in India

 

 

More than 80% of our pigment products and over 50% of our pesticides products are exported the world over. They have four multifunctional production facilities in Gujarat (India) of which three are ISO 9001-2000. Our production facilities are strategically located with high accessibility and close proximity to source of raw material.

 

The landmarks in our journey

1986: Began operations to produce Phthalocynine Green 7, popularly known as Pigment Green 7 at Vatva Plant.

1995: Diversified into manufacture of Agrochemicals at Chharodi Plant.

1996: Expansion of pigments business. Panoli Plant was established to manufacture CPC Blue. CPC Blue is a key raw material used for the manufacture of our Pigment Blue (15) and Pigment Green (7) Products.

2003: Ankleshwar Plant was acquired to expand our range of Agrochemical Products.
