Overview

At Drychem, we strive for excellence and are driven by creativity and innovation to make a difference within the building and construction world. We are a leading manufacturer of construction products and the third-largest producer of Wall Putty in India. Our deep domain expertise in materials allows us to excel across the entire value chain, from formula development to manufacturing, distribution, and commercialization. Our company dates back to the 1980s, founded by Ashok Mehta – a first-generation entrepreneur and leader within the Indian building and construction space. Our diverse portfolio of materials, like wall putty, tile adhesives, plastering solutions, structural solutions, coatings, mastermix, and more, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to research, quality control, and manufacturing. Our mission is simple: we strive for positive change in the ecosystem through reliable products and services that are innovative and sustainable.

Our business is built on five core pillars: integrity, operational excellence, collaboration, commitment, and product innovation backed by sustainability. This allows us to leverage our R&D knowledge, end-to-end manufacturing know-how and progressive digital technology to reinforce promises made to clients around the world. We have 25 manufacturing facilities nationwide as well as NABL-certified state-of-the-art R&D labs equipped with cutting-edge testing facilities that meet international standards, making us a 9001:2015 ISO certified company.

Benchmarking manufacturing processes and operational excellence are at the core of DryChem, which enable us to provide high quality products and solutions for 23 countries worldwide. We also bring cutting-edge technology to our products and solutions - meeting the parameters set by the Singapore Housing Development Board, which follows European and American standards for product testing. Sustainable, profitable growth is ingrained in our DNA, and we work closely with the communities near our plants.

What sets us apart from other businesses in our field is our ability to provide bulk supplies to project sites and to other corporate organisations with specially tailored solutions to meet their demands under the brand Drychem. HomeSure, our B2C brand, comes under Walplast, which is an associate company of Drychem.

Drychem has established itself firmly in this industry and remains a leader amongst its competition due to its commitment to professionalism, customisable products, state-of-the-art technology, research as a tool for growth, technology as a way to achieve global manufacturing standards, consistent focus on quality, and our people being our greatest strength.

By exhibiting our care for all our stakeholders, we provide a range of tailored, competitive, high-quality products. We are familiar with what corporate culture needs, and as the only organised player in this sector, we can meet their expectations. Corporate customers therefore benefit from bespoke products without having to manufacture them themselves, along with services such as training, packaging choices, and supply chain management.
