Our Story

1993 to India:
the long way home

How a small formulation bench became six brands in 20+ countries — and why the newest chapter is being written in India.

Dutch & Habro began in 1993 as a formulation-led maker of household insecticides, growing into a six-brand consumer goods group sold in 20+ countries. Its products are developed to European formulation and safety standards, and the group is now bringing that range to India through a nationwide distributor network.
1993

The formulation bench

The company starts where it still lives today: in the chemistry. Early insecticide formulations are developed with European laboratory partners and built to clear the world's strictest safety reviews.

2000s

Brands, not batches

Goodbye takes the pest-control shelf; Habro, Lovaire, Caesars, Podo and Gardenz follow — each brand owning one everyday problem instead of one product chasing many.

2010s

20+ countries

Distribution grows across the Gulf, Africa and Asia. ISO 9001 certification standardises quality across every market — and Indian travellers keep bringing the products home in suitcases.

Now

Now in India

European-standard formulations, Indian MRPs and pack sizes, and a distribution network being built across every state. That network is the next chapter — and this website recruits it.

The Idea We Kept

"DIY Technology" — what it means here

Every product we make is designed so an ordinary household can solve the problem without calling a service company: a gel a homemaker can apply in two minutes, a trap a shopkeeper can place before closing, a spray that works without a technician. In a market as vast as India, self-serve efficacy is not a slogan — it is the only model that scales to every kirana in every district.
