Joint Managing Director Resil Chemicals Pvt.Ltd.

Exclusive Interview With Mr. M. S. Vijayan

TVC: What is your inspiration for starting the company?

Motivational factor

Resil Chemicals was established by two aspiring entrepreneurs, Mr. M. S. Vijayan and Mr. M. S. Mohan. Our interest in innovation was fuelled by the exponential growth of the Textile Chemical and Auxiliary market globally.

From where idea generated? What is the thought process behind it? How it all began?

Resil was a pioneer for silicones in textiles. We were the first to supply the full range of textile finishing and auxiliary chemicals and also are the manufacturers of customized silicones for textiles. Since then Silicone as a chemical substance has a wide variety of applications due to its chemical nature, making them ideal for catering to the Textile industry. While in the past manufacturers used silicones in lower quantities due to its relatively “high price”, today silicones are widely accepted and are seen as an indispensable entity.

Started as a small manufacturing unit in 1994 with just 5 employees, today Resil is a 300+ member organization with 4 internationally certified manufacturing facilities with over 20,000 metric tons of specialty chemical production per year. Resil now exports to more than 10 countries and has diversified into emerging technology based products such as hand sanitizers, disinfectants, and automotive detailing products.
