Muttenz, January 20, 2016 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals,
performed the groundbreaking ceremony of a new manufacturing plant in Cuddalore,
for moisture-control products, intended for the pharma industry. In December
2015, Clariant had announced plans to invest CHF 10 million in this Healthcare
Packaging plant, that will support the growing generic pharmaceutical industry
in India. The investment will be implemented through its wholly owned subsidiary
in India.
"The new Healthcare Packaging manufacturing plant here in Cuddalore is another
important step within our strategy to intensify growth and increase our market
share in the emerging India region by rapidly addressing customer needs," said
Christian Kohlpaintner, member of the Clariant Executive Committee
The new plant will initially produce desiccant canisters and packets, which are
inserted into pharmaceutical packaging to control moisture and protect the
stability of the medicine during shelf life. The desiccant production area will
be Clean Room Class 100,000 and certified ISO 8. It will be compliant with all
relevant cGMP and US FDA standards.
"With this new plant, we are responding to our customers' growing demand for
high-quality desiccants. This facility will enable us to expand current
capacities and provide easy access to potential as well as existing customers in
the pharma packaging segment in the India region," said Deepak Parikh, Clariant
Region President India.
"This new facility will be integrated into our global Healthcare Packaging
manufacturing infrastructure, allowing us to support strong regional demand, and
at the same time strengthening our position as the global leader in this
segment," added Ketan Premani, Head Clariant Healthcare Packaging Sales.
With ten production sites in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu
and a state-of-the-art Regional Innovation Center in Mumbai, Clariant's new
greenfield plant in Cuddalore will further reinforce its commitment to Make in
India and Sell in India. The plant is slated for inauguration in 2017.
