Ltd., the largest paint manufacturer
in India. Apcotex spun-off as a separate
company in 1991 and is now part of the
'APCO' group of companies headed by
Mr. Atul Choksey, Chairman of Apcotex
Industries Ltd. and former Managing
Director of Asian Paints. With basic
engineering and process know-how from
Chemische Werke Huls (CWH) Germany,
Apcotex pioneered the production of
Vinyl Pyridine Latex, an important raw
material for the tyre industry, in India.
Subsequently, products such as Carboxylated
Styrene Butadiene Latices, Nitrile Latices
and Styrene Butadiene Rubbers were developed
in-house.
