True MAKE IN INDIA Success Story
Founded in 1969 for the first-ever indigenous production of red phosphorus,
United Phosphorus was the brainchild of Rajju D Shroff. It began its first
exports in 1976, and made its first international acquisition in 1994. Later, UPL
diversified into plant health products, in order to reduce our dependence on their
imports. UPL has grown rapidly over the past 15 years. In 2014-15, growth was
2.6 times that of the industry average-from a niche specialty-chemicals player
focused on the domestic market to the world's fifth-largest producer of post-
patent agrochemicals were first made by Uniphos Envirotronic.
What Makes UPL's Made in India Story Stand Out?
UPL has succeeded in taking its low-cost manufacturing base in India and
bolting onto it the front-end components- product registration, marketing and
distribution-that are needed to take its branded products directly to international
consumer markets everywhere from Australia to Latin America. UPL has made
22 strategic company acquisitions across India and around the globe, extending
its footprint and the Made in India brand. It is among the leaders in the world of
agrochemicals and seeds, investing in research and development. Amongst the
122 countries it has a presence in, UPL has also identified agricultural majors-in
Africa, Brazil and China-for future growth opportunities
