Extending its market reach to India, Swiss colorants, dispersed pigments and speciality compounds producer Colorant Chromatics Group (Zug; www.colorant-chromatics.com) recently entered into a cooperation with Nishigandha Polymers (Mumbai / India; www.nishigandhapolymers.com) under the terms of which the latter will distribute the Swiss group’s entire production portfolio. The range includes colour concentrates, specialty compounds, pigment dispersions and additives as well as high performance plastics and fluoropolymers, including PEEK and PTFE, for instance.

The Swiss group operates plants in Aland / Finland, Shanghai / China as well as Bethel, Connecticut / USA. In addition, Colorant Chromatics runs a distribution centre in Germany and works with sales agents in Spain, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and India. The Swiss group in 2007 became part of US liquid colourant, additive and fluoropolymer producer ColorMatrix (Berea, Ohio; www.colormatrix.com), which was acquired by PolyOne (Cleveland, Ohio / USA; www.polyone.com) earlier this year – see Plasteurope.com of 02.01.2012.
