What CAMEX does

Camex Limited is an India-based, BSE-listed specialty chemicals manufacturer (BSE: 524440) headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and operating as part of the Camex Group conglomerate. The company manufactures and exports four core product lines: dyestuffs (reactive, acid, and direct dyes for textile, leather, and paper), textile auxiliaries (eco-friendly scouring agents, alkali, thickeners, formaldehyde-free crosslinking fixers, binders, and softeners), PVC plastic chemicals (lubricants, plasticizers, impact modifiers, and heat stabilizers), and glass fiber reinforcement materials. Manufacturing is conducted at two Gujarat facilities — the Naroda GIDC plant in Ahmedabad for dyestuffs and textile auxiliaries, and the Chhatral GIDC plant in Kalol for PVC chemicals — supported by in-house R&D and quality testing laboratories. Glass fiber products are distributed in India under exclusive agreements with Asia Composite Materials (ACM) Thailand and Weibo Group China, with limited in-house woven roving manufacturing in Ahmedabad.

The company's revenue model is a B2B specialty chemicals sale, with direct sales force and distributor networks serving domestic Indian customers and export sales reaching over 50 countries under its Government of India Star Export House recognition. Customer segments span textile mills, leather and paper processors, PVC pipe and profile manufacturers, and composites fabricators serving automotive, wind power, and industrial applications. Camex monetizes primarily through one-time purchase orders rather than subscription or licensing, with pricing negotiated bilaterally based on volume, specifications, and certifications such as REACH, GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT, and ZDHC compliance.

In FY2026 (year ended March 2026), Camex reported sales of Rs 149.56 crore (~US$17.9M) and net profit of Rs 3.25 crore, up 71.96% year-over-year, with Q3 FY2026 sales of Rs 36.62 crore (+29.81% YoY) and Q4 FY2026 net profit surging 1106.67% YoY. The company employs 51–100 people and is led by founder-family executive directors (Chandraprakash Bhanwarlal Chopra as Managing Director) alongside three independent directors on the BSE-listed board.
