MatriDerm® is an acellular dermal matrix which is a unique combination of native collagen and elastin. Its porous three-dimensional structure encompasses Type I, III, and V collagen fibers and elastin with a structure very similar to the human dermis. The elastin – a protein that provides flexibility and structural integrity to body tissues used in MatriDerm® – is sourced from bovine nuchal ligament by hydrolysis. MatriDerm® serves as a scaffold for tissue regeneration and reduces the formation of scar tissue. It has excellent hemostatic properties and, thus, reduces the risk of sub graft hematoma supporting orderly healing in complex, hard-to-heal wounds with good functional and aesthetic outcomes. The absence of chemical crosslinking during collagen production ensures exceptional biocompatibility and minimises the risk of adverse effects following application.

This versatile biomaterial serves as a dermal substitute, effectively preventing premature tissue adherence, especially in tendon cases, and can be applied to open and closed mucosal wounds.

INNOVATIVE TISSUE REGENERATION

MatriDerm® enhances cell invasion, elongation, proliferation, and limits myofibroblast formation and contraction, thanks to the company’s Advanced CryoSafe® Method that preserves the native structure without chemical crosslinking. Mr. Sanjeev K Sawhney, Country Head and General Manager, Medskin Solutions Dr Suwelack AG, India Liaison Office, emphasises the organisation’s unwavering commitment to maintaining product quality and safety from production’s outset. Specialising in refining and preserving active biomaterials’ native properties, the company substantiates product efficacy through scientific evidence, ensuring a positive impact on user experience.

ENSURING SAFETY AND QUALITY

The brand’s MedCare Division formulations use native biomaterials in their most active form. Their proprietary methods allow them to ensure efficient material utilisation and optimal ingredient delivery to the skin using diverse ways to increase infiltration. The quality of the ingredients is crucial and begins from choosing the suitable raw materials for the best quality. During manufacturing, the company adheres to the highest hygiene standards. Its quality department controls each produced lot, and each product undergoes safety testing by an independent institute. MatriDerm® has a quality system, certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and MDSAP.

In the words of Diana Ferro, the Chief Executive Officer of the organisation, “The company has a clear vision to be a partner of choice in advancing regeneration with science one can feel, by adding years to life and life to years.”

KEY MILESTONES ACHIEVED

In the past five years, MatriDerm® has launched two new dermal matrices globally, expanded its international presence, increased R&D expenditure, and successfully treated more than 300,000 patients worldwide.

In 2021, MatriDerm® was commercialised in India, and is exclusively distributed by its national distributors GRH. A strong team focused on customer interface, evidence-based query resolution has helped the company gain momentum in the market and earn customer confidence.

Shri Bateshwar Nath, a visionary entrepreneur, laid the foundation of the BN Group in 1910. The family hailing from Sikar, Rajasthan, moved to Agra, Uttar Pradesh and started its business with a dream of prosperity. His legacy evolved over generations, and his grandson, Mr. Ajay Kumar Agarwal, injected fresh energy into the venture. The business diversified into timber, real estate, and edible oil trading. In 1991, this dynamic evolution culminated in the rebranding of the company as BN Enterprises. Today, BN Group stands as the epitome of visionary leadership, embodying a century-long commitment to growth and excellence. The name ‘BN Group’ not only preserves the legacy of its founder Shri Bateshwar Nath, but also embodies the spirit of “Building the Nation.”

PASSING THE BATON

In 2006, Mr. Anubhav Agarwal assumed leadership of the family business. Guided by his father’s wisdom, he recognised the enduring vitality of core industries – food, shelter, and clothing – irrespective of economic tides. Under his stellar leadership, BN Group has achieved unprecedented success and growth in the industry. After completing his education, he immersed himself in mastering the intricacies of the ancestral business, all while envisioning a prosperous future.

VISION FOR AN EVOLVING LEGACY

Mr. Anubhav Agarwal’s innovative vision is two-fold: to honour and perpetuate his family’s legacy and to make substantial contributions to the nation’s economic growth. This visionary endeavour came to fruition in 2011 with the inception of BN Agritech, a pivotal moment that fortified the group’s prominence within the edible oil industry. Over the past decade, BN Agritech has evolved into one of India’s foremost edible oil manufacturers, primarily catering to the B2B sector.

As an astute observer of evolving socioeconomic landscapes, Mr. Anubhav Agarwal recognised a burgeoning demand for pure, nutritious edible oils driven by rising disposable incomes and urbanisation. He decided to cater to the growing demands by delivering quality and innovation. This dedication has not only preserved his family’s heritage, but also established BN Agritech as a crucial provider for the evolving dietary demands in India, especially among small food chains, FMCG manufacturers, and restaurants.

However, soon the leader realised the dominance of unregulated, often adulterated loose oil in the market. Leveraging BN Agritech’s research and development prowess, he introduced ‘Simply Fresh,’ an affordable, wholesome packaged cooking oil for institutions. This move helped the BN Group to contribute to the nation’s well-being, besides solidifying its position in the edible oil industry. Furthermore, the surge in demand for edible oil prompted the expansion of its production facilities, with a packaging unit in Mathura opening in 2015 and a modern facility near Kandla Port, Gujarat, opening in 2016, effectively widening their reach into western and northern markets.

In 2018, a refinery near Kandla Port, boasting initial and augmented capacities of 575 TPD and 875 TPD, respectively, solidified the group’s stature as a prominent industry player. Today, it has transcended domestic borders, with an international office set up in Singapore.

GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY

BN Group is committed to safeguarding the environment by implementing sustainable practices and actively reducing its environmental impact. Its dedication to these values is not merely an obligation but a fundamental aspect of its identity, ensuring a brighter and more eco-friendly world for everyone. Reflecting the nation’s shared aspiration for “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” it is dedicated to building a healthier nation.
