Our History
Macsen Laboratories was started as a household unit on the rooftop of the dwelling house in the old quarters of historic walled city of Udaipur, by Dr. Mohanlal Agrawal, Mr.Puranmal Agrawal & Mr. Chandra Sen Agrawal (Sons of Dr. Mohanlal Agrawal), in 1952. The name Macsen is composed from “M A” which is short form of “Mohanlal Agrawal” and “C SEN” which is short form of “Chandra Sen”. One of the very first product of Macsen Laboratories, “Mercurochrome” is still manufactured by us.
Macsen grew in leaps and bounds under the leadership of Mr. N.K Agrawal (son of Mr. Puranmal Agrawal), who was a gold medalist pharmacist from Nagpur University. Because of his passion for chemistry, Macsen soon made a portfolio of Niche API products and became the market leader in those products. In August 2008, Mr. N.K Agrawal left this world for a better place, leaving the responsibility of continuing the legacy upon his next generation.
Mr. Achal Agrawal (Son of Mr. N.K Agrawal), who has studied Chemical Engineering from Pune University, is leading the organization since 2008. Under his leadership, the organization became a group of industries from a single manufacturing unit. The turnover has increased more than 20 times under his leadership. It was his vision to grow not only in terms of business but also in terms of quality, that now we have certifications like WHO-GMP, EU-GMP (W.C), ISO and registration with regulatory agencies like US FDA.
Our main motto is to preserve and grow our 70 year old legacy & goodwill. We believe that profit is only a by-product of business.
