Founded in 1967 by the present chairman and managing director Jayantibhai Jariwala, Colourtex commenced dyestuff manufacturing in 1976 at Pandesara, an industrial suburb of Surat, Gujarat. Colourtex owes its strength to its sound infrastructure with surface water reservoir, co-generation coal-based turbine, dedicated land fill site and strong backward integration built over four decades.
With a strong marketing and distribution network backed by competent technical services located in all textile and leather centres around the country, Colourtex reaches out to more than two thousand potential customers to provide solutions for coloration of textiles and leather, the company said in a media release.
In 2017 Indian Chemical Council (ICC) – representative of International Council of Chemical Association (ICCA) conferred on Colourtex ‘Responsible Care’ certification acknowledging its achievement in establishing systems for environmental and safety compliance in dyestuff manufacturing and use across the supply chain. This was also the year when the company completed 50 years of service to the textile and leather industry.
