Where it all started

Brightening lives, adding color, enriching experiences.

When we began 74 years ago in 1931, we were a single product company. Today, in 2005-06, we have achieved
our vision and have over 2000 innovative products. Which is why Camel and Camlin are the most recognised
stationery and art brand in India
HISTORY AND HERITAGE

1931
Started operations with Horse Brand Ink Powders and Tablets. Followed shortly by Camel Ink. The “Camel” was
chosen as a symbol due to its capacity to endure long periods of difficulty in the trips across deserts. “Camel” was
also easy to write and pronounce in all the Indian languages and was acceptable to all the religions of the land.

1946
Dandekar & Co. was re-christened as Camlin (a combination of Camel and Ink) Private Limited.

1947
From inks, our activities expanded into a range of products, such as pain balms, chalks, rubber stamp pads, gums,
adhesives and so on. To take these products across the length and breadth of the country, a distribution network
was set up.

1958
Our silver jubilee year was celebrated in the factory and office at Andheri, (the most industrialised suburb of
Mumbai), which is now the Head Office for all divisions.

1962
Entry into the art material market with products such as artists' and students' oil and water colours, poster
colours, geometry boxes, wax crayons, oil pastels and water colour cakes.

1974
Wooden pencils were introduced. A fully integrated factory was started in Tarapur (100 kms from Mumbai) for
manufacture of wooden pencils.

1982
We held our very first All India Camel Colour Contest.
1984

A year of diversification

The Camlin Fine Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Division were born. A new integrated ultra-modern plant
was started in the Tarapur factory to drug intermediates and antioxidants for the global market.

1987
Camlin became a public limited company and was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

1989
Technical collaboration was established with Pilot Corporation, Japan for manufacture of 0.5 mm high-
polymer leads.

1995
Camlin started a brand new, state of the art manufacturing facility at Taloja M.I.D.C. near Mumbai for
synthetic emulsion and adhesives. Marketing collaboration was with world leaders Winsor and Newton
(U.K.) in artists’ colours.

1997
Saw the restructuring of the organisation to meet the challenges of the new millennium.

1998
The All India Camel Colour Contest (AICCC), the most popular child-art contest for school children, that
blazed new trails, with a staggering 30 lakh entries received for the contest.

1999
Glass colours were introduced in the hobby range. The All India Camel Colour Contest featured in the
Limca Book of Records, for the highest number of entries received.

2002
Launch of speciality ink group to engage the R&D expertise in ink development and manufacturing.

2003
Launch of Camlin Exam brand, the premium quality school stationery brand.

2005
Saw the introduction of the new, state-of-the-art, plastic body marker range.

With our 50,000 strong retailer network, prestigious foreign collaborations, large consumer base, regular interaction
with consumers by the sales force and participation in international trade fairs like Paperworld in Frankfurt, Camlin is
now a trusted household name all over India.

We were also the first company in India to adhere to Art & Creative Materials Institute’s world standards in toxicity
certifications. Our All India Camel Colour Contest too has been well-received, holding the record of the highest
entries ever and has been registered in the Limca Book of World Records. We also believe in encouraging and
promoting fine art, which is why our Camlin Art Foundation was set up.

With many firsts to our credit, we are the pioneers in almost every product that we make and sell.
We were first to launch the hobby range of colours in India.
We introduced colour categories in India like fine art colours, hobby colours and fashion colours

From a company manufacturing ink powders in 1931 to a company manufacturing over 2000 products, operating in
diverse fields, Camlin has come a long way. And the Executive Chairman, Mr. Dilip Dandekar is raring to take the
company to new heights in the 21st century.
