CPH Board of Directors Visits India

Personal connections and a shared milestone marked the CPH Group Board of Directors’ visit to India from October 21–25, 2026. The trip centered on a visit to Sorbchem India in Vadodara and the celebration of its rebranding to Zeochem India, marking the official conclusion of a two-and-a-half-year integration process.

Insights into the Indian Operations

In Vadodara, the Board of Directors combined its meeting with an opportunity to learn more about the development of Sorbchem India. An overview of the integration process provided context for subsequent visits to the head office, production facilities, and warehouse.

Teams introduced their departments and responsibilities, highlighting the people behind the company’s daily operations. Direct interaction with employees was a key focus of the visit. A joint dinner with department heads and team leaders provided an additional opportunity for discussions with the local management team and the new Managing Director, Amit Bansal.

A Unified Identity Under Zeochem

One of the highlights was the joint celebration of Sorbchem India’s rebranding to Zeochem India, attended by the entire team at the factory site.

The celebration focused on the company’s new unified identity under the Zeochem brand, serving as a visible expression of the completed integration. The unveiling of the new logo was part of the festivities, accompanied by personal remarks from Pascal Duss, Alois Waldburg-Zeil, and Peter Schaub.

After two and a half years of coming together, the rebranding marked the symbolic conclusion of the integration and the continuation of a shared journey under the name Zeochem India Private Limited.

Connections Beyond the Workplace

The visit also included opportunities to experience the surrounding community.

In the village of Sankarda, where many factory employees live, the Board visited a school and donated a water cooler and school bags. They also visited an employee’s home. These personal interactions provided insights into everyday life in the local community, complementing the operational perspective gained during the site visits.

Cultural stops in Mumbai and Vadodara rounded out a trip centered on personal connections and strengthening relationships between CPH Group, Zeochem, and the Indian team.
