TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT:
Process technology and its development form the core strength of Privi and have been fundamental to the Company's consistent and sustainable growth.
The development process functions in two broad areas: a) Understanding chemistry behind various processes and its application, and b) application of Chemical Engineering principles to translate such process knowledge into commercial applications.
In the area of chemistry, the Company has successfully developed alternative manufacturing routes for existing molecules by utilizing side stream products. Notably, the Company has developed high-value specialty molecules from such side streams, thereby enhancing profitability in a sustainable manner. The uniqueness of these by-product streams, particularly their extraction from waste, provides a distinct competitive advantage to the Company. A significant portion of the improvement in the Company's EBITDA margins can be attributed to the effective application of advanced chemistry in its operations.
In the area of chemical engineering, the Company continues to focus on process optimisation, including advancements in separation processes and reaction engineering. The Company has successfully converted several batch processes into continuous processes, resulting in improved product consistency, reduced utility costs, lower manpower requirements, and optimisation of equipment usage. Further, the application of advanced chemical engineering techniques has enabled the transition from conventional catalyst-based processes to more efficient resin-based processes in certain operations. These initiatives have contributed to improved operating margins and are expected to generate additional revenues from the existing asset base over the long term.
The Company's registered office and its Manufacturing Units located at Mahad and Jhagadia have been assessed and
certified as meeting requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 on March 21,2025.
