Failure to innovate may lead to obsolescence or loss of market competitiveness. We continuouslyinvest in R&D to develop eco-friendly and high-performance chemical solutions that align with theevolving needs of the textile industry and sustainability goals.

influenced by global demand-supply dynamics. We mitigate market risk through:
