Safex Chemicals Celebrates 34 Years with Innovative Employee Engagement Campaign
Safex
Chemicals
Group,
a
leader
in
the
chemical
industry,
marks
its
34th
Foundation
Day
with
the
launch
of
an
inspiring
employee
engagement
campaign
that
bridges
its
storied
past
with
its
ambitious
future.
The
idea
of
Safex
was
conceived
by
Late
Mr.
S.K.
Jindal
and
Mr.
S.K.
Chaudhary
at
a
time
when
the
Indian
agrochemical
industry
was
dominated
by
multinational
companies.
The
company
celebrated
this
milestone
across
the
country,
with
more
than
1,500
staff
members
gathering
to
remember
and
pay
homage
to
Late
Mr.
S.K.
Jindal.

Mr.
S
K
Chaudhary,
Mr.
Piyush
Jindal,
Mr.
Neeraj
Jindal
and
Mr.
Rajesh
Jindal
The
celebration
underscores
the
company’s
evolution
from
a
single
facility
in
Bahadurgarh,
Haryana,
in
1992,
to
an
international
enterprise
with
seven
manufacturing
units
across
India
and
the
UK.
The
month-long
celebration
features
a
series
of
thoughtfully
crafted
initiatives
reflecting
the
company’s
remarkable
journey
and
core
values.
The
“Walk
to
Your
Dreams”
Challenge,
inspired
by
Founder
&
Chairman
Mr.
S.K.
Chaudhary’s
extraordinary
life
story,
encouraged
employees
to
walk
10,000
steps
daily
throughout
December
2024.
This
initiative
symbolizes
the
grit
and
determination
that
have
defined
both
Mr.
Chaudhary’s
personal
journey
and
Safex’s
impressive
growth—achieving
a
40-fold
increase
since
2010
and
maintaining
a
35%
CAGR
over
the
past
five
years.
Complementing
this
physical
initiative
is
the
“Dream
Big”
program,
dedicated
to
the
late
Mr.
S.K.
Jindal,
Co-founder
of
Safex
Chemicals.
This
forward-looking
initiative
invited
employees
to
set
ambitious
personal
and
professional
goals,
mirroring
the
company’s
transition
from
serving
local
farmers
to
building
a
network
of
over
15,000
distributors
across
21
states
and
employing
more
than
1,500
people
globally.
The
company’s
strategic
milestones,
such
as
the
acquisition
of
UK-based
Briar
Chemicals
in
2022,
exemplify
how
bold
aspirations
can
be
turned
into
reality.
Reflecting
on
this
journey,
Mr.
S.K.
Chaudhary,
Chairman
of
Safex
Chemicals,
said, “The
situation
was
very
tough
but
with
sheer
grit,
determination
and
a
strong
will
to
succeed,
we
continued
to
progress
slowly
and
steadily.
Many
challenges
came
along
the
way,
but
the
spirit
could
not
be
defeated.
Mr.
S.K.
Jindal
left
us
along
the
way
but
new
generation
joined
in
to
carry
the
legacy
forward.
It
speeded
up
the
pace
of
growth
setting
new
benchmarks
along
the
way.
Today,
present
in
almost
all
verticals
of
agrochemicals
viz
crop
protection,
home
care,
grain
storage
and
contract
development,
Safex
is
the
2nd
Indian
agrochemical
company
after
UPL
to
acquire
a
115-acre
facility
in
the
United
Kingdom
at
a
cost
of
73
million
pounds.”
Adding
a
unique
cultural
dimension
to
the
celebration
was
the
“Jukebox”
initiative,
which
took
employees
on
a
melodious
34-day
journey
through
the
company’s
history.
Each
day
featured
five
carefully
selected
songs
representing
every
year
since
Safex’s
founding
in
1991.
This
musical
timeline
resonated
with
employees
across
generations
and
celebrated
the
company’s
continued
progress
and
legacy.
From
modest
beginnings
to
becoming
a
key
player
in
the
global
chemical
market,
Safex
Chemicals
has
grown
to
meet
the
demands
of
the
ever-evolving
agriculture
industry.
According
to
Agriculture
Today
Magazine,
Safex
has
emerged
as
the
18th
largest
agrochemical
company
based
on
FY23-24
data,
achieving
one
of
the
highest
growth
rates
in
the
industry
at
21%
for
the
said
year.
As
the
company
celebrates
this
significant
milestone,
these
programs
strengthen
the
bond
between
employees
and
the
organization’s
mission
while
laying
the
groundwork
for
future
growth
and
innovation.
