India's personal care industry is flourishing, benefiting from the modern consumer's increasing awareness about personal care products, advantageous ingredients, and consciousness about those that harm the skin. Digital and social media penetration has had a massive impact on this sector, leading to the demand for innovative yet authentic products which feature clean ingredients, minimize the use of harmful chemicals, and are also eco-conscious.

This increased demand has paved the way for many revolutionary brands to thrive, but this success is supported by contract manufacturing businesses. Within this realm, Stella Indusstries Ltd.  stands as a pioneer, established in 1983 and based in Gurugram. A leading contract manufacturer, the firm has expanded into a multinational organization present in India and in the Middle East, catering to the needs of diverse personal care brands right from formulation to manufacturing of the final products.

Complete Manufacturing Solutions
Catering to leading personal care brands globally, Stella Indusstries boasts a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and a seasoned team that offers comprehensive services to the clients, fulfilling their unique needs across a vast variety of products including perfumes, hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays, body care essentials, pain relief products, hair removal products, bath essentials, and grooming products. In addition to products for human consumption, the company also offers a wide range of industrial sprays, and veterinary products. 

Consequently, the company has amassed immense recognition, becoming a trusted name in the industry serving all popular brands and companies including Unilever, Wipro, Marico, Bombay Shaving Company, Man Matters, Amway, BellaVita, Disney, Dabur, Brooks, F1, Snitch, MamaEarth, Renee, Marvel, and many more.

“At Stella Indusstries, we are driven by a steadfast mission to continually surpass customer expectations. We aspire to become the premier choice for all personal care requirements with unparalleled products and services that elevate personal care experiences. It is our vision to pioneer the future of personal care on a global scale, driven by a passion for inspiring innovation, creating top-tier products, and unforgettable customer experiences. To achieve these objectives, we strive every day to set the industry standard, positively impacting lives around the world”, shares Rohitt Wassan, Director, Stella Industries.

A prominent player in the sector, the firm has been making waves in this domain since its inception, growing from one milestone to another, carving an envious position for itself in the global market. In the year 2000, the company expanded through exports into the U.S. and European markets which was a significant leap forward, opening doors for further expansions. In 2004, the firm established robust distribution channels across Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, slowly growing stronger through its acquisition of Spraytec India, a leading aerosol valve technology supplier in 2013, along with entering into a joint venture with Mankind Pharma, boosting innovation.
 

The firm continued to bolster its presence in the Middle East while also exploring the launch of new verticals like Stella Alloys under which the company undertook manufacturing of aluminium slugs for diverse industrial applications in 2018. This year also marked another key milestone for the company as it entered into the Ayurvedic market, introducing a new line of OTC products. 2020 unfurled more milestones with collaborations with DRDO and securing supply of Lifebuoy sanitizers in Singapore being key highlights. This year has marked another period of growth for the company as it signed a JV with Kiri Cosmetics and forayed into Colour Cosmetics.

“We have succeeded tremendously in this industry, not just because of the quality of products and services that we offer, but more so because of our client-centered approach. We prioritize customers by offering custom options, ensuring a tailored experience to cater individual preferences. Moreover, our teams act as a partner for the clients, offering expertise and insights throughout the product development process. The team’s deep domain knowledge, and focus on staying up-to-date with the latest fragrance trends, ingredient innovations, and evolving consumer preferences, play a vital role in guiding the clients’ future endeavors”, adds Rohitt.

Recognition and Growth Initiatives
Over the decades, Stella Indusstries has not only grown in terms of geographical presence (expanding into exports) and product range, but it has marked its position as a recognised leader that has earned immense praise, accolades, and recognition in the industry for its tremendous contributions and revolutionary approach.

The company and its founders have been awarded with prominent awards including the Outstanding Quality Essential Oil & Perfumery Products at National Awards ceremony for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises, New Delhi. The company also received a National Award Quality Products in SSI in 2006 by the Prime Minister, and is the first aerosol company in India to receive such a high honour. The company was also recognized for Excellence in Quality of Products in 2012 by the Prime Minister.

Building on a legacy of excellence, Stella Indusstries has big and ambitious plans for its future endeavors as well. Dedicated to becoming a global leader in the personal care contract manufacturing sector, the company aspires to continue expanding its presence, advancing its manufacturing capabilities, and collaborating with more brands to serve a diverse client base.
