Case Study: Chemical Company recruits a Site Head successfully with The Taplow Group

How the Taplow Group Helped a Chemical Company Successfully Recruit for Their Site Head

The Taplow Group S.A. supported a Chemical Company, part of a privately held conglomerate and India’s largest single-location marine chemicals player, in recruiting a Site Head for its remote Gujarat operation near Bhuj. The client needed a leader who could improve structure, processes, compliance, and execution across production of Industrial Salt, SOP, and Liquid Bromine, but the location’s lack of infrastructure and a limited candidate pool made the search difficult.

The Taplow Group S.A. conducted a focused executive search across India, reaching out to more than 70 candidates and over 40 chemical and polyester organizations, then shortlisted 11 suitable profiles after multiple evaluation rounds. The search was completed in 4 months, and the selected candidate joined in February 2020. He brought 32+ years of experience and strong expertise in plant operations, P&L, turnaround situations, and team leadership, helping the client fill the role successfully.
