We have integrated production plants that enable us to ensure a steady supply of raw material to control the quality of our pipes and fittings. The process starts with importing the raw material Ethylene dichloride (EDC), Ethylene, Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) and coal from international markets. They are stored in bulk at our plant in Ratnagiri, and used for manufacturing PVC resin. The advantage of a captive power plant is that it ensures a steady power supply and reduces the manufacturing costs. The majority of the PVC resin manufactured is transported to our PVC pipes and fittings manufacturing plants. The rest is sold in the open market. At the PVC pipes and fittings plants, numerous products are manufactured which are transported to our dealers and various warehouses around the country.
In a business which involves manufacturing and customer interface for brand promotion and sales, it is critical to employ the right people who have the ability to leverage market opportunities.
