| The Beginning |
|
Waldies owes its name to Dr. David Waldie, who was born in the early 19th century in Linlithgow, Scotland. He came to India and
established in 1858 his chemical works to produce various chemicals including Red Lead, a pigment previously not made in
India. Waldies have thus, pioneered the chemical industry in India and were the first, in India, to
introduce the manufacture of pigments on a large scale.

|
|
Our Factory
|
In the 30s with the technical assistance from one of the largest manufacturers of lead and lead compounds in the
UK, Goodlass Wall & Lead Industries Ltd., now known as Cookson Group plc, modern plants were set
up and the following four companies were formed :
|
- D. Waldie. & CO (Lead Oxides) Ltd
-
The Bangalore White Lead Syndicate Ltd
-
Waldies Zinc Pigments Ltd
-
Waldies Industries Ltd
On 1st November, 1967, the above four companies amalgamated under the name of D.
WALDIE & CO (LEAD OXIDES) LTD. A year later the name was changed to WALDIES
LIMITED. On December 2006, the company was amalgamated with Gillanders Arbuthnot
& Co Ltd with retrospective effect from 1st April 2005. It is now Waldies
Division of Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co Ltd.
