Recently, our website spoke with Prachetan Bansal, VP - Projects & Operations, Spectrum Dyes & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., to discuss the global textile chemical industry, ongoing supply chain challenges, and emerging sustainability trends. The conversation also highlighted Spectrum's operational strategy, product innovations in sustainable dyeing solutions, and its growing focus on strengthening its presence in the Bangladeshi textile market through quality-driven, performance-based solutions.
our website: Could you please share the overall current scenario of the global textile chemical industry?
Prachetan Bansal: The situation is very precarious due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts and war. The global supply chain has been severely disrupted. Since many textile chemicals are derived from agricultural or food-related byproducts, any disturbance in those sectors directly impacts availability. As a result, there is significant pressure on supply, leading to price volatility and panic buying across the value chain from manufacturers to end users. This is a situation that needs to be carefully controlled and stabilized.
our website: As a leading solution provider, what is your strategy (KSTM) in this situation?
Prachetan Bansal: As a large-volume manufacturer, our primary focus is on protecting and safeguarding our customers. We ensure adequate stock availability on our end to absorb market pressure and minimize the impact on our clients. Additionally, we are strongly committed to quality, ensuring consistency and repeatability in every batch we deliver. This helps our customers maintain stable production without disruption.
our website: What are your key product strengths?
Prachetan Bansal: We are a strong manufacturer of disperse and reactive dyes. We perform exceptionally well in specialized, brilliant, and performance dye ranges. Recently, we have introduced liquid disperse dyes, which replace the conventional pulverized liquid form. This innovation significantly improves sustainability by reducing COD levels by 80-90%, making the process more environmentally friendly. We are also developing advanced solutions for cellulosic fibers to enhance reactivity and improve environmental compatibility, ensuring better performance with sustainable chemistry.
our website: How do you see the Bangladesh market?
Prachetan Bansal: Bangladesh is one of the most fascinating textile markets globally. It has a very strong industrial base, and the people in the industry are highly mature, smart, and result-oriented. They prefer to see proven performance before making commitments. This makes Bangladesh a key strategic focus area for us, where we aim to strengthen our presence and long-term engagement.
