Our journey begins with our founder Mr. Sureshchandra Gandhi, who graduated from the first batch of Chemical Engineering in UDCT University in 1955. He started the company Arochem Industries, a dyestuff intermediates manufacturer as a family owned business.
1961
We began operations manufacturing our first product called Resist Salt at our unit in Dombivli. The capacity then was 10 metric tonnes per month.
1971
We moved our manufacturing unit to a much larger space in Vapi, Gujarat. Production of Resist Salt began with a capacity of 55 metric tonnes per month. We were the first company with this kind of capacity at that time in India for our particular product.
1976
We expanded our capacity to 100 metric tonnes per month, as customers started preferring our product quality and services.
1980
We started adding to our bottom line by starting to manufacture Metanilic Acid which is a value added downstream product of Resist Salt.
1981
Mr. Nilesh Gandhi joined the company, and he expanded our export market reach to eastern countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. Mr. Sureshchandra also made a breakthrough in our manufacturing process through his R&D which enabled us to recover a high-value product called 3’3’ DNDS which is used for aerospace applications.
1986
We diversified through forward integration, introducing our second product called Metanilic Acid which is used as OBA in several industries such as textile printing and pigments. Mr. Sureshchandra also pioneered the technology to manufacture Resist salt in the granular form which was highly appreciated by our export customers as it was a non-dusting form of the product. We were the first company to export it in granular form from India.
2014
We became a Private Ltd. company from a partnership structure. A UK based company called Exochem Ltd. joined us as 50% stakeholders bringing in fresh capital. We also diversified further by doing forward integration of Metanilic Acid to Aniline 2:5 Disulphonic Acid which is also a high-value OBA agent used in paper, textile and pigments industries.

Packaging of Dyes Intermediates at Arochem
It is very important that the product reach our customers without being contaminated as it cannot be used otherwise and may be summarily rejected. Therefore we take great care while packaging and pelleting our products and use the best materials to ensure it isn’t damaged during transit. We pack our material in HDPE bags, and then seal the whole pellet with high-durability plastic wrap to prevent it from coming in contact with air or moisture.
