They have all come to expect the world from us. Because that’s exactly what we expect from ourselves.
When we choose to diversify, it’s upstream with an open sea jetty to manage our raw materials, and downstream into last mile fulfillment. When we evolve, it has to be in our understanding of customer expectations and finding better machines and processes to meet those expectations. When we choose to expand, it is into newer markets, delivering our pipes and fittings to newer customers. And when we measure our growth, it is in reputation. The effect of which reflects in our bottom line – growing manifold in the last decade.

Quality opportunities to our employees. Superior quality of life, education and health of the people we serve through our various social responsibility initiatives.
