A pigment house built
on one habit.

Quality, repeated every day since 1989. This is how a single plant in Ankleshwar became one of the world's leading makers of phthalocyanine pigments.

“Subhasri Pigments Pvt. Ltd. was established in 1989 at Ankleshwar in Gujarat by Mr. Krishnaswami Srivatsan, a chemical engineer from REC, Trichy.”

It is a privately held company with professional values. Today it makes 6,000 MT of phthalocyanine pigments a year in its 15,000 m² facility in Ankleshwar, and exports to all five continents across 30 countries. All our products are REACH registered.

Our manufacturing facility is fully automated, and we are the first company in the world with a complete zero liquid discharge (ZLD) copper phthalocyanine crude manufacturing facility.
