Chemicals brought with it a rich history in both the crop protection industry and household insect control market , dating back to the early 1990s . Leveraging Safex ’ s extensive experience will be beneficial in supporting our growth . Moreover , Safex boasts a strong portfolio of well-established brands in India , along with formulation and synthesis facilities to support these brands . Interestingly , our company was Safex ’ s first overseas acquisition , aligning with its goal to expand its global footprint in the crop protection sector . Together , Briar and Safex will empower each other , benefiting from Briar ’ s technologies and processes , while Safex provides raw material inputs and leverages its domestic partnerships in India ,” explains Chris .
Expanding further on the topic , Chris sheds light on the tangible impacts Briar ’ s acquisition by Safex has had on the
business thus far . “ Under Safex ’ s ownership , Briar has transitioned away from former financial investors towards a strategic investor committed to investing in the crop protection segment . At present , Safex leverages our expertise in core herbicide molecule synthesis of intermediates and active ingredients , complementing its existing branded business operations in India . These brands encompass end-use formulations , custom synthesis contract manufacturing platforms , as well as insecticide synthesis capabilities through Shogun Organics Ltd – a specialist in household insect control and grain protection . In essence , this strategic ownership has empowered Briar to explore long-term opportunities for its site and engage with organizations looking for highquality synthesis capabilities in both the UK and India to support their innovations and developments .
