Our services

Along with the manufacturing of speciality chemicals, Esteem also provides Custom & Toll manufacturing services to various companies. Our Toll Manufacturing services and contract manufacturing solutions benefit companies looking to minimize capital expenditures and also to multinationals looking for production partner to reduce lead time. Esteem team works very closely to bring the product into production and direct it to our clients valued customers. Having one of the best chemical processing equipment, ISO-9001, ISO-14001, ISO-45001 and ISO 27001 certified manufacturing facilities and more than 30 years of expertise in speciality surfactant manufacturing makes us the ideal choice for your Custom or Toll Manufacturing needs.

Esteem R&D and QC are equipped with the latest analytical equipments which in turn along with our expertise help in process development and scale-up services from lab to pilot to commercial scale quantities. Our custom chemical synthesis services and chemical contract manufacturing capabilities are extensive. Esteem is adept at handling a variety of challenging and hazardous chemistries including ethoxylation, propoxylation, esterification, and other chemical processes, and we have well defined HS&E policies and a commitment to sustainable procurement policies, and are able to take on challenging projects with a high rate of success. Learn more about our manufacturing capabilities.

What is toll manufacturing? Toll manufacturing is contract manufacturing where we produce specialty chemicals for another company using their specifications and raw materials. The client owns the product and often supplies raw materials; we provide capacity, equipment, and expertise. Custom synthesis is the development and production of custom chemical formulations to a client’s requirements. Esteem offers both services with ISO-certified facilities in India and the USA, 90,000 MT+ capacity, and over 30 years of experience in surfactants and specialty chemicals.

Key benefits

  • Lower capital expenditure and faster time to market by using our existing capacity and scale-up from lab to commercial.
  • Access to ISO-certified facilities (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001), 24/7 QA, and expertise in ethoxylation, propoxylation, esterification, and related chemistries.
  • Multi-site production in India and the USA with 90,000 MT+ capacity and support for challenging or hazardous chemistries under clear HS&E policies.

Who uses these services

  • Brand owners and formulators who need dedicated production without investing in plant and equipment.
  • Multinationals and distributors seeking a production partner to reduce lead times and localize supply in India or the USA.
  • Companies requiring custom synthesis, scale-up from R&D, or contract manufacturing for surfactants, specialty chemicals, or intermediates.

Technical highlights

  • Processes include ethoxylation, propoxylation, copolymerization (EO-PO), esterification, ether sulfates, phosphation, sulfation, sulfonation, polymerization, amidification, carboxylation, and quaternization.
  • R&D and QC with modern analytical equipment for process development and scale-up from lab to pilot to commercial quantities.
  • State-of-the-art chemical processing equipment, sustainable procurement practices, and documented quality and HS&E systems.
