Contract development and manufacturing market has been exhibiting impressive growth and is predicted to continue its ascent along the growth trajectory. This growth can be attributed to a paradigm shift in the consumer’s behavior where hygiene is now perceived as a necessity rather than a luxury. This shift has been further accentuated by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Increased sensitization towards personal grooming, demand for personalized solutions and brands interacting with consumers through digital mediums have created vast opportunities for this market. This has led to an increasing number of Pharma, Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals players penetrating this market and revolutionizing it, in tandem with FMCG players. All this puts pressure on finding the right CDMO player that ensures supply reliability, data and process confidentiality, best-in-class products, innovative personalized solutions, reduced time-to-market and Global Compliance Standards.
Pontika Aerotech, headquartered in Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, has carved a niche for itself in this segment with its one-point solution of innovative products across Health, Hygiene and Personal Care. The company specializes in distinct capabilities such as aerosols (Gas and No-Gas), external liquids, creams, lotions, gels, hand-wash and shampoos. Its uniqueness lies in value- added manufacturing across Pharmaceuticals, Personal and Home Care, Industrial care, Cosmeceuticals and Herbal/ Ayurveda, and Hygiene.

The company offers products across more than 20+ Therapeutic Areas through over 200+ SKUs. “We have one of the largest Aerosols facilities of India which can produce more than 250 KL and 10 Lakh cans per day,” adds Neeraj Bhatia, Founder & Director at Pontika Aerotech. The delivery in terms of Inhouse Innovative Technology Solutions by Pontika is unparalleled, which includes Bag-on-Valve Technology, Trans Dermal Aerosol Technology, Nanotechnology in Aerosol, Herbal Aerosols and Nasal Sprays. “We have well-equipped and updated R&D with a pilot facility as per the DSIR guidelines.
