- Founder & Chairman
"KONKEM Industries Private Limited is affiliated with JAY Chemical Industries Private Limited, a multinational corporation founded in 1967 that has served various chemical sectors throughout its history. Today, we proudly stand as a globally recognized leader in textile dyes, auxiliaries, inks, construction chemicals, and specialty chemicals, among other areas. JAY Chemical Industries holds a 14% market share in global reactive dyes and over 25% in the domestic market, boasting a revenue exceeding 250 million USD.
One of the processes involved in dye production is the condensation of Naphthalene sulfonic acid with Formaldehyde. The resulting product finds extensive use as both a dissolving agent and an additive to disperse dyes. Intriguingly, this product is also utilized in the manufacture of construction chemicals. This led to the creation of K2 in 2009, driven by a straightforward goal of broadening our business scope and deriving value from a byproduct that would otherwise have been discarded.
Similar to its parent company, K2 places strong emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction. In addition to delivering consistent high-quality products, we prioritize providing technical services to our clients to ensure optimal outcomes. We have implemented a comprehensive training program for both new hires and existing team members to ensure that we can offer solutions to our customers at all times. Our commitment to continuous quality control is evident across all levels of operations. We closely monitor manufacturing economics without compromising on quality, allowing us to provide cost-effective products to our customers.
We maintain minimum stock levels to guarantee product availability and are continually evaluating our manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency. In the coming years, we aim to expand our manufacturing and R&D facilities, establish warehouses, and venturing into infrastructure projects. This strategic growth plan ensures that K2 remains responsive to market demands while upholding accessibility for all our stakeholders.
Over the years , our team has expanded and created a well established retail network across the country. K2 has been able to grow to an extent where it can now independently operate under it’s separate identity as KONKEM Industries Pvt. Ltd. Looking at India’s growth in over the past few years and the vision for the future, am certain that the sky is the limit."
