Chief Vijay Nair, Marketing Director, MEA, APAC, Vink Chemicals said: “Vink Chemicals has gained market share in the countries it has entered by adopting the strategy of working closely with the customers to ensure optimum cost-effective biocide recommendations based on the scientific evaluation.

Further, these customers will soon be benefiting from our new production hygiene concepts and our portfolio of non-biocidal system cleaners which is a major leap towards green chemistry.”
