1. At a Glance
If chemistry had a stand-up act, Rossari Biotech would open the show with a lab coat and a nervous smile.

- TSC (19 %) – Legacy textile aids: dyeing auxiliaries, finishing agents, digital printing chemistry. Once the core, now the side hustle.
- AHN (5 %) – Poultry feed supplements, pet grooming and
