Amritlal Chemaux Pvt. Ltd.
In 1917, two enterprising men - Shri Shivchand Dhinoja & Jethalal Shah, sowed the seeds of a company that started selling dyes in India.
Today, under the leadership of the Doshi family, the company has grown to be one of the most trusted names in dyes, additives, pigments and much more, at home and overseas.
The Legacy
Shri Amritlal Kalidas Doshi took on the mantle of running the company in 1924. He brought a turn-around of the company from a struggling sapling to a mighty tree, and Amritlal & Co. was born.
Shri Doshi, a visionary, began by making changes in the functioning of the company.
From setting up a dependable source of supply to opening branches across the country, Shri Doshi ensured a steady increase in clients, better service, and quick supply.
The principles that Shri Amritlal believed in and adhered to, form the foundation of the organisation today.
Shri Jagjivandas Hiralal Doshi, nephew of Shri Amritlal Doshi, joined the company as a secretary in 1941.
With his keen interest in the business he climbed up the ladder. He became the driving force of the company, bringing fresh and modern ideas to the table, which brought the company to a renowned global standing in the dyestuff and chemicals industry.
He became Managing Director & Chairman, and the company was renamed to Amritlal Chemaux Pvt. Ltd. in 1977.
The Business
The Directors of Amritlal & Co had the vision of building the dyestuff industry in the country. With years of selling experience, Amritlal & Co made the move into manufacturing a wide range of dyestuff.
With a firm belief in self sufficiency, the company decided to start its own manufacturing unit for dyes and intermediates, and in 1954, Amar Dye-Chem was floated as a Public Limited Company in technical collaboration with Hilton Davis Chemicals Co, USA.
In 1973, the Company expanded its operations and decided to bring their range to the global market. In the first year, the company’s success in exports earned itself the recognition of Export House by the Government of India.
Amritlal Chemaux has exported to over 20 countries including Japan, USA, Germany, Italy, Greece, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Egypt, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and more.
Today, exports contribute to over 50% of the company’s turnover.
Amritlal Chemaux Pvt. Ltd. has developed an extensive distribution network in India, with Head Offices at Mumbai and a number of branches in cities like New Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata.
With numerous distributors, agents, and resident managers spread across the country, the company ensures its clients are served with best service and speedy delivery, whether they’re big or small.
