GEM Aromatics has commenced commercial production of cooling agents WS-23 and WS-03, along with clove oil and eugenol, at its newly established greenfield manufacturing facility in Dahej, Gujarat. The plant operates under Krystal Ingredients Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

The state-of-the-art facility incorporates advanced process technologies and stringent quality systems to ensure the production of high-purity, superior-grade aroma ingredients. This expansion strengthens GEM Aromatics’ position in niche, value-added categories, including cooling agents and spice-derived aroma molecules, for both domestic and international markets.

Managing Director and CEO Yash Vipul Parekh said the start of commercial operations marks an important milestone for the company and reflects its commitment to building future-ready capabilities. He noted that the new facility will enhance purity, consistency and performance across GEM’s product range.

Parekh added that the introduction of cooling agents, along with forthcoming high-value offerings such as citral and phenol derivatives, will deepen product diversification and reduce reliance on mint-based ingredients. With a continued focus on innovation, sustainability and next-generation aroma molecules, GEM Aromatics is positioning itself for sustained value creation in the years ahead.
