Building on the core competency achieved in enzyme production, the Textile division was started in 1996 to manufacture and supply desizing and stone washing enzymes, textile binders, cationic softeners, dye fixing agents and other textile auxiliaries. Within a short period, we have been able to carve a niche for ourselves in this competitive field too, due to our quality, timely deliveries and economic supplies.

TEXTAN CHEMICALS (P) LIMITED was founded in 1979 in Chennai, South India. In order to widen its infrastructure and meet the increasing demand for its products, it became a corporate body in 1982. The company has taken, as its main task, stringent quality control to enable the tanning industry in India to have easy access to quality chemicals. TEXTAN CHEMICALS took up the challenging task of carving a niche for itself in the competitive field of Leather auxiliaries. Today, discerning customers in India and abroad, rely on us for quality, economy and uninterrupted supply of chemicals. The export oriented leather industry in India has benefited enormously, as these chemicals were not manufactured in the country earlier. The long list of eminent customers who have engaged TEXTAN as their permanent supplier can vouch for our claims. Recently TEXTAN has diversified into the field of Textile auxiliaries. We are one of the very few manufacturers of textile stone washing enzymes and desizing enzymes in India. The TEXTAN group of companies has diverse interests, besides leather and textile auxiliaries. The group also has a presence in Infant foods, Oleo resins, Natural extracts and Proprietary Ayurvedic medicines.
