Dow’s presence in India began in 1957 with the Polychem Limited joint venture. More than 50 years later, the Company continues to thrive with a strong manufacturing presence and operations in seven locations across the country. Currently, Dow India employs more than 900 people and boasts sales in excess of $500 million.

Over the last few years, the Company has strengthened its market franchise in India by creating Centers of Excellence. These critical commercial and technical resources improve Dow India’s ability to serve the market while providing a strategic advantage for the Company globally.

The economic growth of India allows Dow to view the shift from being a “foreign importer” to a “local producer,” which is essential to establishing and sustaining the Company’s manufacturing footprint in India.
