About Tano : Legacy of Excellence, Vision for the Future

Our Journey: Nearly 50 Years of Chemical Excellence

Tano Distilleries and Chemicals Limited embarked on its journey in 1975, a period marked by significant industrial growth in India. From our origins, we have steadily evolved into a large-scale manufacturer, recognized for our expertise in ethanol production and purification. Our history mirrors the development of the Indian ethanol and chemical sector, sharing our founding year with other major players like Balrampur Chini Mills and building our capabilities alongside established entities founded earlier, such as Triveni Engineering (1932) and Godavari Biorefineries (1939).

Over nearly five decades, Tano has navigated market shifts, embraced technological advancements, and consistently expanded its operational footprint and product portfolio. We transitioned from foundational alcohol production to mastering high-purity grades like ENA and Pharma Grade Ethanol, and further diversified into value-added ethanol derivatives. Key milestones include [Insert 1-2 specific company milestones if available - e.g., capacity expansions, introduction of new product lines, achieving key certifications]. This journey reflects a deep-seated commitment to growth, quality, and adaptation, positioning Tano not just as a manufacturer with a rich heritage, but as a resilient and forward-looking enterprise integral to India's chemical industry fabric. 21Our longevity signifies stability, deep-rooted expertise, and a reliable presence customers can count on.

It provides tangible evidence of our capability to deliver high-quality ethanol reliably and efficiently, assuring potential partners of our technological sophistication and capacity to meet demanding supply needs.

Commitment to Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility

At Tano Distilleries, we recognize that long-term success is intrinsically linked to responsible operations and environmental stewardship. Our commitment to sustainability encompasses several key areas:

  • Environmental Management: We actively implement practices to minimize our environmental footprint. This includes optimizing energy consumption (potentially guided by ISO 50001 standards), efficient water management, responsible waste disposal, and exploring the use of sustainable feedstocks like molasses and grain. Our production of ethanol for biofuels also contributes to reducing reliance on fossil fuels. We adhere to environmental regulations and strive for continuous improvement, potentially certified under ISO 14001. Obtaining certifications like ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) is crucial for accessing specific export markets like the EU, demonstrating verifiable sustainability credentials.
  • Health & Safety: The safety and well-being of our employees and the community are paramount. We maintain robust safety protocols throughout our operations, adhering to strict safety standards (potentially including ISO 45001) and relevant regulations like OSHA guidelines or equivalent Indian standards.
