The company is headquartered in Badlapur, Thane, Maharashtra and is listed on Indian stock exchanges under the ticker OMKARCHEM. Its core business is the manufacture and sale of specialty chemicals and chemical intermediates that span a broad range of organic, inorganic and organo‑inorganic products, including derivatives of selenium, iodine, molybdenum, cobalt, bismuth and tungsten, as well as tartaric acid derivatives and other intermediates. These chemicals serve as essential inputs for diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, glass and ceramics, cosmetics, fragrances and flavours, and cattle & poultry feeds, and the company exports to markets in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia.
