The new structure will improve operational efficiency, sales and customer support
Mumbai, August 11, 2016: Huntsman Textile Effects has streamlined its India Commercial organization to strengthen sales and after sales functions, analysis of industry and product trends, expand the business and further improve customer satisfaction.
With dedicated Sales teams covering North, Central and South India and Sri Lanka regions compared to North and South regions previously, the teams are now more geographically aligned with Huntsman Textile Effects’ customer base in India. Being more focused on a smaller region will improve operational efficiency, customer focus and response time for each Sales team as they benefit from more agile and quicker decision-making.

We combined our top talent and technical expertise to create these market-focused segments aligned with our strategic growth platforms,” said Dheeraj Talreja. “Our new structure will help us improve our competitive position, increase efficiency, and support sustainable growth while we continue to bring innovative solutions to our customers.”
