Fineotex Chemical Limited (FCL), one of India's leading multinational speciality performance chemical manufacturers, has steadily expanded its operations, launched innovative products, and enhanced its infrastructure despite tariff challenges affecting the chemical industry globally.

In January 2025, FCL inaugurated its new, modern office space in Andheri, Mumbai. The new office houses state-of-the-art training centres aimed at building a future-ready workforce.

The company has also recently launched AquaStrike Premium in India—a revolutionary non-toxic mosquito control and water preservation solution. Developed in Malaysia with European design engineering, this biotechnology-based product represents FCL's strategic pivot toward specialized chemical solutions that can circumvent tariff obstacles more effectively. The WHO-approved solution offers a simple, cost-effective approach to mosquito control and water preservation, addressing critical public health challenges while demonstrating FCL's innovation capabilities.

FCL's geographically diverse manufacturing footprint—spanning facilities in Ambernath, Navi Mumbai (India), and Selangor (Malaysia), with an additional plant under development in Ambernath—serves as a deliberate strategy to mitigate tariff impacts.

Commenting on these developments, Sanjay Tibrewala, Executive Director, Fineotex Chemical Limited, said: "Amid evolving global trade dynamics, Fineotex has implemented a comprehensive growth strategy that leverages innovation and strategic expansion to transform market challenges into opportunities. Our new Mumbai office, the introduction of AquaStrike Premium, and our participation in prestigious international exhibitions like China InterDye and NEFTEGAZ reflect our forward-looking approach. Rather than retreating in the face of tariff uncertainties, we have strategically diversified our manufacturing capabilities and focused on developing specialized, high-value solutions that can effectively navigate trade barriers. This balanced approach—strengthening domestic infrastructure while maintaining vigorous international engagement—positions Fineotex to deliver sustainable value regardless of how the global trade environment evolves."
