_x000C_Kanoria, which was established in 1960 to set up production facilities of chlor alkali chemicals, has since diversified into other specialty chemicals such as alcohol chemicals and various chlorine derivatives. As a result, over the years, Kanoria developed a strong manufacturing capability and integrated production facilities in Renukoot, Uttar Pradesh and Ankleshwar, Gujarat. The company is now in the process of increasing the production capacity of its caustic soda and chlorine derivative products to improve its profitability and growth while better serving the increasing needs of its growing customer base. In addition, the company plans to invest over $25 million to gradually reduce production of caustic soda based on mercury cell technology by increasing production based on more environment friendly membrane cell technology. The company also has plans to finally phase out its mercury-cell based caustic soda capacity and replace it with more environmentally friendly membrane-cell based technology over the next few years.
