Aero
Pharma Group of companies was promoted by Ravi Kamat
and incorporated in the year 1983. It started operations
at Rabale, Navi Mumbai in 1995 and still has its Head
Office at Rabale.
Over the last 21 years, it has grown to become a multi-locational,
multi-product independent contract manufacturer for
some of the most recognized names in India in cosmetics
and personal products, like Hindustan Lever Ltd,
Aviance (Direct Marketing subsidiary of HLL), Avon,
Oriflame, Revlon, JK Helene Curtis (Park Avenue), Gillette,
Modicare, Marico, E. Merck, Godrej Sara Lee etc.
Today, Aero Pharma Group is one of the Largest
Cosmetics and Toiletries Contract Manufacturing Group
in India, with manufacturing spread across two entities
and three locations (Aero Pharma P Ltd at Rabale and
Murbad, and Aero Pharma (Silvassa) at Silvassa). Both
these entities are collectively referred to herein as
Aero Pharma. The total built-up area of these factories
is 75,000 sq ft (5,000 at Rabale, 30,000 at Murbad and
40,000 at Silvassa). The plot size at Murbad can take
a total construction of 120000 sq. ft. (11500 sq. mtr.)
Aero Pharma is probably the only company in the
country that offers to its customers a wide range of
products like Lipsticks, Foundations, Compact Powders,
Eye Make up products, Skin Care Creams, Hair Care Creams,
Lotions, Shampoos, Aerosols like Foams, Deodorants,
Natural Sprays, Splash on etc. All these are packed
in an array of packaging choices like bottles, jars,
tubes, sachets etc. Currently, at all three plants put
together, more than 1000 SKUs are manufactured every
year, using more than 3,500 different items of stock.
Today, Aero Pharma is been chosen as the major contract
manufacturer by Marico Ltd. to cater their export orders
of Hair Creams and Hair Oils.
Its competence lies in the ability to handle high complexities
even for relatively low volumes, at competitive rates,
while maintaining the highest quality standards. Aero
Pharma follows stringent quality procedures and adheres
to GMP norms. Small wonder then, that any major MNC
manufacturer entering India invariably shortlists Aero
Pharma for consideration as a prime manufacturer and
vendor.
