What Aristo Biotech And Life Science does

Aristo Bio-tech And Lifescience Limited, incorporated in March 2005 and listed on the NSE under ticker ARISTO, is an Indian agrochemical formulation and contract manufacturing company headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat. The company manufactures, formulates, and packages crop protection products across four categories: insecticides (e.g., Imidacloprid, Fipronil, Thiamethoxam, Lambda Cyhalothrin), herbicides (Glyphosate, Butachlor, Pendimethalin, 2,4-D), fungicides (Mancozeb, Carbendazim, Hexaconazole, Propiconazole), and plant growth regulators (Chlormequat Chloride, Ethephon). Manufacturing is conducted at an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Manjusar GIDC, Vadodara, with separate contamination-controlled plants for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, and an in-house QC lab equipped with HPLC, GC, and spectrophotometry instrumentation. Liquid formulations (EC, EW, SL, SC, CS, OD, SE, ZC) and solid formulations (WP, SG, WDG, SP, GR, DP) are produced across pack sizes from 5 ml to 20 L (liquid) and 1 g to 10 kg (solid). An associate company, Orchid Agro Systems, operates a complementary adjacent facility at E-103, GIDC Manjusar.

The company operates a dual business model. First, it sells own-branded crop protection products through a distribution network of 200+ distributors and dealers across six Indian states (Punjab, Haryana, U.P., Uttaranchal, Rajasthan, and Gujarat), supported by depot locations in Bhatinda, Kichha, Hanumangarh, and Lucknow. Second, it provides contract manufacturing, job work, and toll manufacturing services to Indian and multinational agrochemical companies, manufacturing products under partner brands such as Machete and Fastmix (for Sinochem India), Seamer (for E.I. DuPont India), Roundup Speed (for Monsanto India), and VAM-C (for Jubilant Agri & Consumer Products). Named enterprise customers include UPL, Meghmani Organics, Gharda Chemicals, Insecticides India, Crystal Crop Protection, Heranba Industries, Best Agro Life, Bharat Rasayan, National Fertilizers, and Rotam/Albaugh LLC. The company also exports finished and bulk products to multiple international markets, with a dedicated VP International Business function.

Operationally, Aristo employs approximately 150 trained workers and runs an enterprise sales-led motion supplemented by field sales for B2B contract manufacturing relationships. Leadership includes Chairman & Managing Director Narendra Singh Barhat (45+ years of agrochemical industry experience) and VP Marketing & Sales Anand Sharma (42 years, ex-Rallis India, ex-HIL India), reflecting deep sector tenure. The company maintains a public-company governance structure with an investors section, annual reports, shareholding pattern disclosures, and a board that includes independent directors. Recent governance activity has included multiple Company Secretary and Independent Director resignations during late 2023.
