History

In 1956, the company was incorporated as Colour-Chem Ltd with technical and financial collaboration from Hoechst and Bayer. It was founded by three Indian business groups: the Ruias, the Khataus, and Ghias. [4] [2]

In 1997, Hoechst's specialty chemicals division merged with Clariant, as a result of which Hoechst's 50.1% controlling stake in Colour-Chem Ltd was transferred to Clariant. [3] [5] Clariant increased its stake in the company to 70.1% following an open offer in 2003. [6] In 2005, Clariant announced the merger of four group companies into Colour-Chem Ltd, and Colour-Chem Ltd was renamed as Clariant Chemicals India Ltd in 2006. [7] [8] [2]

In 2022, Clariant Chemicals India Ltd was renamed to Heubach Colorants India Ltd, after Clariant sold its pigments business to Heubach Group and SK Capital Partners. [9] [10]
