Manufacturing Infrastructure

Overview

At Cohizon Life Sciences’ Ankleshwar sites, we have state-of-the-art chemical manufacturing sites designed for multi-step synthesis and commercial-scale production of agrochemical active ingredients, intermediates, building blocks, and non-GMP products. Advanced utilities, DCS-operated systems, hydrogen stations, and robust safety controls support complex and hazardous chemistries. Over two decades, Cohizon has continuously expanded its chemistry capabilities, beginning with nitration (75 MT) and amination (500 MT) in 1997, followed by hydrogenation (1,500 MT) and chlorination (2,000 MT) in 2002. In 2003, the company added heterocyclic ring formation & Vilsmeier (1,500 MT) and coupling reactions (700 MT), followed by sulfur chemistry/thiolation (800 MT) in 2004 and Friedel-Crafts (1,000 MT) in 2006. Further expansion included acid chloride formation (1,000 MT) in 2009, amidation (60 MT) in 2012, bromination (500 MT) in 2015, diazotization & Sandmeyer (1,000 MT) in 2017, hydrazine chemistry (80 MT) in 2021, and continuous vapor-phase fluorination / Halex (1,200 MT) in 2022. Today, Cohizon brings these capabilities together to deliver scalable, safe, and quality-driven commercial manufacturing across complex chemistries for agrochemical and specialty chemical applications.
