Under the agreement, Azelis customers in India will gain access to Milliken’s Reactint PU colourant solutions, designed to deliver consistent colour performance, durability and ease of handling. The partnership also strengthens Milliken’s presence in the Indian CASE market, supported by Azelis’s local distribution network, technical capabilities and application expertise.
Azelis, an innovation service provider in the speciality chemicals and food ingredients industry, has announced a new distribution agreement with Milliken & Company in India. With immediate effect, Azelis will distribute Milliken’s polyurethane (PU) colourant solutions for the coatings market.
The agreement builds on a long-standing commercial relationship between the two companies in the EMEA region and represents a strategic expansion of their collaboration into India. It also complements Azelis’s existing product portfolio in the CASE segment in the country, allowing customers to access a wider range of solutions.
Milliken’s sustainability focus aligns with Azelis’s strategy of delivering innovative and more sustainable products. Milliken’s Reactint PU liquid colourants support PU foam recycling by enabling higher material recovery without discolouring recovered polyols. The product line also improves durability and aesthetic performance in industrial and decorative paint applications.
“We are pleased to work with Milliken to support the expansion of its polyurethane colourant solutions in India. Milliken’s expertise and leadership in polyurethane applications, combined with Azelis’s strong local market presence and technical support, allow us to deliver meaningful value to customers,” has stated Aparna Khurana, Managing Director India and Market Segment Director for Personal Care, Home Care and Industrial Cleaning APAC at Azelis.
“India has been a key market for Milliken’s polyurethane business for many years. This agreement supports our long-term growth strategy by strengthening our ability to serve customers across polyurethane applications, while selectively expanding into new segments through a distribution partner with strong local capabilities,” has added Daan Vanwynsberghe, Global Business Unit Director for Polyurethane at Milliken & Company.
