Established in October 1965, Transpek Industry Limited (TIL) became a publicly traded company in September 1978. Initially focused on manufacturing acrylic plastic sheets, the company transitioned to chemical production in 1969. TIL's product portfolio expanded over the years, introducing innovative chemicals like sodium hexameta phosphate, sodium tripoly phosphate, and phosphoric acid. By 1978, it ventured into manufacturing sodium hydrosulphite, sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate (safolite), thionyl chloride, and sulphur dioxide, marking significant milestones in Indian chemical manufacturing. TIL's global presence began in 1987, earning recognition as a government-approved Export House.
The company's product range encompasses various chemicals and intermediates, including sodium hydrosulphite, zinc formaldehyde sulphoxylate (safolin), rubber accelerators, and recovered metals like copper and zinc. Renowned as the world's largest manufacturer of safolite and safolin, TIL is also India's sole exporter of thionyl chloride and chloro acetyl chloride.
TIL's growth trajectory includes capacity expansions, joint ventures, and strategic initiatives. In 1995-96, it commissioned a sulphur dioxide recovery station, complying with regulatory requirements. Subsequent years witnessed capacity expansions in rubber chemicals, sodium hydrosulphite, and thionyl chloride, including a joint venture in China. The company's commitment to innovation led to the development of new products and technologies, enhancing its competitiveness in the global market.
Strategic collaborations and acquisitions further bolstered TIL's market position. Notably, the acquisition of a stake in Sam Finechem Ltd (SFL) and the incorporation of Transpek Creative Chemistry Private Limited (TCCPL) underscored its strategic expansion initiatives.
Overall, Transpek Industry Limited's journey reflects a commitment to innovation, excellence, and global leadership in the chlorinated products industry.
