Moving to The Next Level
After R Krishnan Nadar's regime, the mantle was taken over by his son K.Dhanapal who took it to newer heights and the company expanded. In 1998, detergent powder was introduced and this was an extremely successful venture too. Three more manufacturing units Power Soaps Limited at Puducherry, Abirami Chemicals Pondicherry and Praveen Chem Industry at Karaikal were added to meet the increasing demand for Power products.
The Growth Spurt
The consistent success of the company inspired it to diversify into various segments. It ventured into the personal care industry too, with hair care products like the Nature Power range of shampoos and skin care products like the Nature Power range of beauty soaps, Clora Toothpaste, Laa Talc and Laa Fair Fairness cream.
The company also diversified into the soft drink market with Powersoft Drinks Pvt Ltd., formerly Elanjikal Soft Drinks Chennai Pvt. Ltd., at Padappai, 14 kms from Tambaram in Tamil Nadu. The Mango Dice brand was manufactured here. Hello Water and Power Water mineral water brandswere also introduced.
Taking on a New Identity
The next step was to consolidate all brands under one umbrella and this was done through creating the Power Soaps identity. This created a leap in brand value and image. Later, Power exited the soft drink and water business to sharpen the focus on detergents and personal care.
