Aditya
Birla Chemicals (Thailand) Limited is
the new name of Thai Organic Chemicals Company
Limited, with effect from 1 January 2006.
Our Group's chemical business in Thailand
has been serving customers in a large number
of industries like food, food processing,
personal consumer products, paints, textiles,
pulp and paper, detergents, water treatment,
metal treatment, etc.
The
Group's product offerings include sodium
phosphates and potassium phosphates for
industrial and household detergents, metal
treatment, ceramics, toothpastes and for
food applications such as treating shrimps,
sausages and noodles; sodium sulphite and
metabisulphite for water treatment, pulp
and paper, photography, gold mining and
food applications; hydrogen peroxide for
textiles, pulp and paper, environment, aqua
culture and food applications; chlor-alkali
products for water treatment, food and general
industrial applications; and epoxy resins
for coatings, paints, lamination, civil,
electrical and composite applications.
Besides building up a strong business in
Thailand, the chemical business has also
been exporting about 35 per cent of its
production to 44 countries across the world.
These
activities of the chemical business were
carried out through five legal entities
viz. Thai Organic Chemicals Company Ltd.
(TOCC), Thai Epoxy and Allied Products Company
Ltd., Thai Sulphites and Chemicals Company
Ltd., Thai Polyphosphate and Chemicals Company
Ltd and Thai Peroxide Company Ltd. During
2005, we merged all these companies (except
Thai Peroxide Company Ltd which is our joint
venture with FMC Corporation, USA) into
TOCC. To reflect the Group's commitment
to the chemical business, the name of TOCC
is now being changed to Aditya Birla Chemicals
(Thailand) Ltd.
Bringing
together all our chemical activities under
one corporate entity will help us leverage
the Aditya Birla brand, the knowledge base,
the technology base as well as our customer
relationships through a synergistic basket
of products and seamless service. The restructuring
provides an opportunity to multiply the
strengths of our units with diverse capabilities
in process technology and product application,
yet serving common industry sectors.
The
new name reflects our globally recognised
corporate brand — the Aditya Birla
Group, which has a turnover of $7.5 billion
and a market capitalization of over $8 billion.
It is anchored by an extraordinary force
of 82,000 employees, belonging to 20 different
nationalities. We have our operations in
18 countries in five continents. The Group
enjoys leadership position in all of the
businesses in which it operates such as
non-ferrous metals, cement, viscose staple
fibre, viscose staple yarn, carbon black,
chemicals, fertilisers, insulators, branded
garments and insurance.
