Rishabh

What Rishabh does

Rishabh Metals & Chemicals Pvt Ltd (RMC) is a privately held Indian industrial manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Mumbai, with manufacturing operations concentrated at an ISO 9000 accredited facility in Jalgaon. The company operates three interrelated business lines: specialty chemicals (polymers and copolymers of Acrylamide, Polyamines, PolyDadmacs, PolyAmido resins, Poly Acrylates, crosslinked, structured, and branched polymers, plus surfactants), bulk drugs (Methyl Salicylate, Octyl Salicylate, Salicylamide, Salicylic Acid, and Aspirin produced in a GMP and Kosher certified esterification plant), and industrial instruments (pulp and paper testing, packaging testing, R&D particle-size and zeta-potential analyzers, rubber and polymer testing, material testing, textile testing, and bioreactors from lab scale to 100,000L+). The firm claims to be among the largest producers of Methyl Salicylate in India with current production above 4,000 MT and describes itself as one of only Indian companies manufacturing specialty polymers in powder, emulsion, and solution forms.

The company sells exclusively through direct B2B channels — corporate website (rmc.in), phone (+91 02269471000), and email ([email protected]) — and exports to Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It serves industrial customers across paper and pulp, oil and gas (RISHFLOC flocculants, RISHLYTE coagulants, RISHSCALE inhibitors, RISHFOAM defoamers, RISHCIDE microbicides), textiles, mining and metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, sugar processing, ceramics, and industrial and municipal water treatment, plus a horizontal base of laboratory and quality-control instrument buyers. Pricing is quote-based, with no publicly disclosed price list; ancillary revenue comes from Wet End Surveys and time-bound technical outsourcing services for paper mills and chemical applications. Notable technical assets include a patented multi-frequency electroacoustic zeta potential technology (Zeta Probe) enabling measurement without dilution up to 60% volume concentration, an in-house 3-in-1 AMERIGO analyzer combining DLS, LDE, and SLS, and a distribution partnership with Cordouan Technologies for high-resolution nanoparticle analyzers.

Ownership is private and not disclosed; no institutional investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, or public listing are referenced. The company is led by Director Ramesh Jain and Vice President SyamaPrasad Chatterjee. Revenue, headcount detail beyond the 11–50 range, and customer-level disclosures are absent from public material. Strategic posture is that of a mature, founder/family-controlled specialty industrial supplier pursuing selective product-line extension (notably bio-engineering and Cordouan-distributed R&D instruments) while preserving its long-standing chemical and bulk drug franchises.
