Ion Exchange Expands Its Chemical Blending Facility In Bahrain

Ion Exchange, one of India’s largest environment solutions providers has announced the launch of its new chemical blending facility in Bahrain. The company is expanding its facility in Bahrain in order to improve the products and services it offers the wider GCC region, a market currently worth around US$ 1.5 trillion. The new facility will serve as the chemical export hub for the GCC region and North Arab states, creating around 30 jobs over the course of the next three years. The Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), which provides information and practical help to companies establishing operations in Bahrain, assisted Ion Exchange with company set up and other business requirements in order to ensure the company’s successful inception.

Rajesh Sharma, Chairman and Managing Director of Ion Exchange commented on the announcement, “Ion Exchange has successfully executed globally tendered projects and exported plants to the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia, to the stringent requirements of customers, consultants and EPC contractors. It has made it presence felt in Europe and the USA with export of resins and water treatment chemicals. The launch of the new Bahrain facility is part of our wider strategy to ensure proximity to our GCC and North Arab market. Bahrain is located at the heart of the Gulf market with excellent transport and logistics connections throughout the region. We are expanding to meet the GCC’s rising demand for water treatment products and services and are excited to work closely with organisations like the Bahrain Economic Development Board to ensure our success.” Ion Exchange has over 50 years’ experience specialising in water treatment and provides a complete portfolio of advanced environmental solutions to industrial, institutional, residential, home, rural and urban developments.
