DKSH’s Business Unit Performance Materials has made a major investment in its food and beverage, personal care and coatings businesses by upgrading its innovation centres with brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities in Mumbai, India.
The food and beverage innovation centre specialises in developing confectionery, bakery, dairy, savoury and emulsion-based formulations, including unique bakery products, such as low-sugar muffins, cakes, beverage and dairy products, such as functional drinks, fruit drinks, yoghurt and savoury products, such as egg-free mayonnaise.
The personal care innovation centre specialises in solutions and formulations for colour cosmetics, active, natural, skincare, haircare, oral care and homecare applications.
The specialty chemicals innovation centre (for coatings applications) provides solutions in automotive paints and car refinishes, architecture and decorative paints and powder coatings.
The enhanced centres form a part of DKSH’s global network of 44 highly specialised and interconnected innovation centres. Each centre serves as a one-stop solution to customers by providing a broad range of specialised services.
The service portfolio encompasses formulation development, idea generation and conceptualisation, new ingredient and technology application, product demonstration, acceptance tests and hands-on technical training.
Stefan P Butz, chief executive officer, along with Thomas Sul and Natale Capri, co-heads, Business Unit Performance Materials, and members of the Executive Committee, were guests of honour at the re-opening ceremony. Senior executives from DKSH’s valued business partners were also present to celebrate the milestone occasion.
Sul and Capri said, “India is a very important, fast-growing market for DKSH’s chemical distribution business. We have reinvested in our innovation centers to further advance our formulation service offering for our customers.”
“Not only do we create and learn together in our centres, but we generate solutions that add value, by reducing time to market for our partners’ products and giving them a competitive advantage,” they added.
Atul Nagarkar, managing director, DKSH India, said, “Our innovation centres have provided advanced formulation solutions to our ever-growing customer base since 2012. The centres are run by our skilled specialists who provide support and expertise to our valued customers and allow us to create new business opportunities as strategic partners to our clients.”
