Press Excerpts
Indian Rubber Journal, November-December 1994
In spite of the relatively primitive travel and communication facilities of those days, by sheer dint of systematic hard work and supported by visits of world famous Bayer rubber technologists like Dr. S Reissinger and Dr. O. Rosenthal, Malaney was responsible for the introduction of Nitrile (Perbunan) and Chloroprene (Baypren) rubbers all over the country.
Malaney's departure after 17 years with Bayer India in 1972 left a big void.
Malaney resigned in 1972 after 17 years with Bayer to start two very successful trading companies dealing with a wide range of raw materials for the rubber industry.
Indian Rubber Journal, July-August 1994
When Mr. Vishnu S Malaney tendered his resignation in 1972 after a highly successful 17-year career with Bayer Germany and Bayer India, it was a great shock to Bayer and to everyone in the Rubber industry. But Malaney had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve in life and he set about it with the same efficiency and thoroughness that he showed during his work with Bayer.
Today 22 years later, the results are there for all to see. As Managing Director and owner of three companies who represent some of the biggest names in the world's rubber industry, his group of Companies is undoubtedly the largest supplier of a wide variety of synthetic rubbers, chemicals and testing equipment to the Indian tyre industry and in fact, to the entire rubber industry in India.
