Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited has strengthened its international presence with the inauguration of its second global headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, marking another milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy following the acquisition of the Heubach Group earlier this year. The new office, located at the Hillsite Office Building in Schwalbach am Taunus near Frankfurt, complements the company’s existing headquarters in Pune, India. Spread across nearly 21,000 square feet, the facility has been designed to support greater collaboration, faster decision-making and seamless integration across Sudarshan’s worldwide operations.
Positioned close to the company’s manufacturing facility at Industriepark Höchst, the office is expected to enhance coordination between research, manufacturing, commercial operations and customer engagement across European and global markets. The modern workspace has been planned to facilitate innovation while bringing together leadership and cross-functional teams under one roof.
The inauguration reflects Sudarshan Chemical’s growing international ambitions as it continues expanding its footprint across key global markets. Europe remains central to the company’s long-term strategy, particularly after integrating Heubach’s operations into its global business.
Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Rathi, Global Chairman and Managing Director of Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited, said the Frankfurt office represents far more than an expansion of physical infrastructure. According to him, the facility underlines the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Germany and Europe while supporting the next phase of global growth.
Dr Klaus-Dieter Baumgart, Chief Technology Officer of Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited and Managing Director of Sudarshan Germany Horizons GmbH, said Frankfurt has long served as a strategic centre for the company’s international business. He added that the new headquarters provides a strong operational base to support future growth and closer collaboration with customers and partners.
The company now operates across more than 120 countries, supported by 19 manufacturing and research facilities worldwide. With a combined heritage exceeding 270 years in pigment manufacturing following the Heubach acquisition, Sudarshan serves over 4,000 customers across industries including coatings, plastics, inks, cosmetics and specialty applications.
Headquartered in Pune and Frankfurt, Sudarshan Chemical continues to expand its portfolio of organic, inorganic and pearlescent pigments while investing in research, innovation and sustainable manufacturing practices. Backed by a global workforce of nearly 4,000 professionals, the company remains focused on delivering advanced colour solutions that meet evolving customer requirements while strengthening its leadership position in the global pigments industry.
