Kemin Textiles Auxiliaries - a division of the multinational chemical ingredients company Kemin Industries - was formed through the acquisition and merger of Garmon Chemicals with its subsidiary The Italian Job. After the acquisition, Garmon remains as a trademark in connection with its widespread and international market reputation of being a leader in R&D and marketing of chemical solutions for the apparel industry. Kemin Textiles Auxiliaries embodies pioneering, experimental and large-scale chemical evolution in the name of a better future. Kemin Textiles Srl is the headquarters of a set of local companies in strategic business areas of the world, established by Kemin Industries to support development in specific markets. Kemin Industries South Asia Pvt Ltd. and Kemin (China) Technologies Co., Ltd. are the subsidiary located in India and China, with a production plant to manufacture finished goods for Far East, South Asia, Brazil and internal markets.
Mission
Markets trust Garmon products and services. We will develop and distribute the most responsible and valued chemical and technical innovations, which will help define the concepts of quality and style.
Corporate values
Innovation
We don't follow industry trends, we create them. Innovation has always been at the heart of our research and development, to keep up with industry needs and push the limits. The result of this approach is to provide customers with the product innovations they need to succeed.
Sustainability
We are pioneers in sustainability, with a long history of developing environmentally friendly solutions that are safe for customers and the planet. The company's efforts are grounded in a strong sense of conservation of natural resources, thus also respecting future generations. The products and equipment developed by Kemin Textile Auxiliaries and so by Kemin Industries South Asia Pvt Ltd. and Kemin (China) Technologies Co., Ltd. have both a direct and indirect impact on sustainability: direct, because our certified and responsible chemistry replaces many unsustainable and hazardous chemicals; indirect, because of the water savings enabled by the use of our technologies, such as Smart Foam.
Quality and Creativity
Although we are an international organization today, our roots have never been forgotten. Style, passion for design and obsession with quality are typical characteristics of an Italian fashion company, and every solution we create follows these principles. Our products are more than chemical solutions, they are a guarantee of high quality, sophisticated style and cutting-edge fashion effects.
Trust and Support
We have always been a customer-centric company, and our relationship with them is based on dedication, integrity and trust. We listen and respond to the needs of our customers, partners and stakeholders, providing all the technical support, styling expertise and experience the company has achieved in its more than 30 years of operation. Whatever the ever-changing needs of the industry of garment finishing, we will be there to help.
Innovations and technical solutions designed with environmental health in mind are what will guide our activities for the coming years.
Through the optimization of the organization and thanks to the know-how of the staff, the Management is committed to constantly safeguarding the processes and activities related to the quality of the services and products produced, in full compliance with the legal requirements for health, safety and environment and with the most important standard for the global textile industry, that is the ZDHC MRSL.
This is reflected in the careful selection of raw materials for our products, which is strictly regulated by the internal Risk Assesment procedure, as required by Kemin Industries, to ensure the best possible combination of safety for humans, sustainability for the environment and technical performance. This is a robust process that ensures any chemical product which is not conformant to ZDHC MRSL can be identified and can’t directly, or via third-party sales channels and can’t be used for the manufacture of other chemical products that are intended to be conformant to ZDHC MRSL requirements.
As of December 2020, Kemin Textile Auxiliaries, and thus also Kemin Industries South Asia Pvt Ltd and Kemin (China) Technologies Co., Ltd., has committed to bringing a significant part of its product catalog to Level 3 of the ZDHC Gateway, the database of environmentally safe chemicals, that are compliant to the global recognized ZDHC MRSL. Through these efforts, the company offers its customers the best possible assurance of sustainability while maintaining the highest standards of quality and traceability. Believing in the strategic importance of organizational planning, the management implements continuous staff involvement and training at all levels: from management to operations, involved as a group or individually. Continuous involvement activities include sharing this policy in order to promote an excellent level of customer service and achieve the goals set.
Consistent with this policy, management's commitment is focused on the following principles:
- Corporate soundness (sales and operating income);
- Customer satisfaction;
- Compliance with applicable legal requirements and other requirements subscribed to on the environment and manufactured products;
- Systematic monitoring of performance
- Prevention of pollution and any non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations;
- Prevention and reduction of possible environmental risks resulting from new activities, available technologies and emergency situations;
- Involvement, information and continuous training of personnel; and
- Ability to ensure the best technological solutions;
- Competence and reliability of suppliers;
- Maintenance of open and constructive relations with the Public Administration, institutions, communities and individuals who have a legitimate interest in the Company's environmental performance.
With a view to continuous improvement, management periodically sets and approves objectives and programs consistent with the principles listed above.
