About Us

Alta Laboratories Ltd. is a leading chemical manufacturer and India's largest producer of Salicylates.

Alta was founded by the Late Dr.R.K. Dhote in 1946 and is headquartered in Mumbai, with our manufacturing units located not far away in Khopoli. We have tremendous experience in the chemical industry and our products go through the highest quality standards and environmentally sound practices, before being used in various finished products all over the world.

Initially Alta Laboratories was involved in manufacturing patent drugs that attained considerable popularity and wide patronage of the medical world. Alta's success in manufacturing basic chemicals aroused the interest of M/s.Monsanto Chemicals Ltd., U.K. and in 1959 we entered into a collaboration with M/s.Monsanto which lasted till 1968. In the 1950's we also started manufacturing Sodium Salicylate, Salicylic Acid and Aspirin. We are now pioneers in the manufacture of Salicylic Acid, its derivatives and Para Hydroxy Benzoic Acid and its Easters. The products manufactured by us are of high quality and are well received in the international market.
