KAOLIN TECHNIQUES PRIVATE LIMITED

What KAOLIN TECHNIQUES PRIVATE LIMITED does

KAOLIN TECHNIQUES PRIVATE LIMITED is a Vadodara, Gujarat-based manufacturer and exporter of industrial kaolin (china clay) and related mineral products, serving paper, paint, rubber, plastic, ceramics, cosmetics, cement, pesticides, and fiberglass industries. The company operates with 14 employees and self-reports annual turnover in the 100-500 Cr INR range, though this figure is unverified and inconsistent with the small headcount. The product portfolio spans hydrous kaolin, calcined kaolin, and metakaolin, alongside complementary inorganic inputs including hydrated lime, silica, pyrophyllite, calcite powder, dolomite, calcium carbonate, and quartz; sub-brands such as Snowgloss, Snowcem, Snow Cab, Glossy Clay, Polyshine, and Snow Shine enable application-specific positioning.

The core technical process is thermal treatment of natural kaolin ore, with the company's calcining operation positioned for pozzolanic reactivity in cement and concrete admixture applications. Application-specific grades (Paint Grade Hydrous China Clay, Rubber & Plastic Grade Kaolin Powder) demonstrate product-level segmentation despite the underlying commodity nature of the input. Pricing is per kg/tonne with grade-based variation, and free samples up to 1 kg are offered to support customer acquisition.

The go-to-market is predominantly B2B via IndiaMART, supplemented by direct sales and basic social media presence. The company holds Verified Exporter status and accepts international payment terms (L/C, T/T, D/P, D/A), indicating cross-border trade exposure. There is one named marketing contact (Kunal Shah, Head Marketing); no institutional funding, no patents, and no M&A activity are disclosed.
