About REFA Chemical Industry

0

REFA - Research Engineered Formulation & Applications — was formally established in 2021 by Dr. Md Saifuddin Siddiqui — but the story begins long before that

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the Indian specialty chemicals industry, Dr. Saifuddin spent decades working closely with manufacturers across auto components, cookware, electronics and process industries — understanding their cleaning challenges from the inside out.

What he observed was a persistent problem. Indian manufacturers were still heavily dependent on traditional solvent-based cleaning chemicals — hazardous, environmentally damaging, and increasingly misaligned with global quality and compliance standards. The market needed a better alternative. A water-based, eco-friendly, high-performance solution that didn’t compromise on results.

That insight became REFA Chemical Industry.

Founded with a clear mission — to replace solvent-based chemicals with safer, biodegradable, RoHS compliant water-based alternatives — REFA launched with a single product segment: precision metal degreasing chemicals. The response from the market was immediate. Manufacturers who had struggled with hazardous solvents found in REFA a technically superior, environmentally responsible alternative that actually performed better.

From that single product, REFA has grown into a comprehensive specialty chemicals company with 100+ products across 10+ industries, serving 50+ manufacturers pan India and exporting to 7+ countries including UAE, Jordan, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and Bangladesh.

Today REFA Chemical Industry operates from its manufacturing unit in Greater Noida and marketing office in Noida — with a 30+ member team, in-house R&D capability, and the ambition to become India’s most trusted precision cleaning chemicals brand.

Dr. Md Saifuddin is a chemical industry veteran with over 25 years of experience in specialty cleaning chemicals for Indian manufacturing industries.

Holding a BSc in Chemistry, an MBA in Sales & Marketing, and a Doctorate awarded by the Well Educational And Peace Council — Dr. Saifuddin combines deep technical knowledge with sharp commercial acumen. His career has been defined by one consistent focus: understanding what manufacturers actually need from their cleaning chemicals and delivering it.

This belief is embedded in every product REFA manufactures, every customer visit the team makes, and every formulation the R&D lab develops.

Under his leadership, REFA has grown from a single product startup to a 100+ product specialty chemicals company in just a few years — trusted by ancillaries of Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra, Eicher Motors, Force Motors, Ashok Leyland and many other leading OEMs across India.
