To bring greater focus to its core purpose, this new division was demerged from the parent company and an entirely new entity was formed called ‘Camlin Fine Sciences Ltd.’
With a view to diversify into fine chemicals, Camlin set up a new ultramodern plant at Tarapur, India, to manufacture antioxidants for the global market. The Camlin Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Division was born.
Camlin begins to offer a whole range of art material and stationery products including chalks, rubber stamp pads, gums and adhesives, wood pencils, drawing colours and geometry boxes, besides other professional and student products. By now, Camlin is a trusted household name in India.
Starting operations in Mumbai, India, Camlin first began with ink powders and tablets. Combining the words in its earlier name ‘Camel Ink’, the fledgling enterprise soon re-named itself to ‘Camlin’.
