Aroma Chemicals

Every day from the time we begin our day – toothpaste, soaps, shampoo to the time we end the day with lighting of Incense-sticks, we use aroma chemicals. A typical fragrance is a blend of multiple aroma chemicals. Privi is India’s largest manufacturer and exporter of aroma chemicals.

About 1/3rd of the aroma chemicals produced globally are made from chemicals obtained from a Pine tree. Stems of Pine tree is also used globally as a raw material for making pulp and paper. Chemical building blocks required for making aroma chemicals are thrown out as waste. Privi is one of the 4 global companies, and only Asian company to have developed a process to isolate and purify building blocks. Thus, Privi is fully integrated manufacturer of Pinene based aroma chemical, which currently constitute about 60% of the revenue. In some of the manufacturing processes by-products are formed. Privi works on developing processes to create value added products from these by-products.
