This expansion entails setting up of two new production lines for the door locks segment,” says the company’s chairman Rajesh Bansal.

Our green-certified plant is equipped with one of the most advanced automatic plating technology with SCADA system for controlling industrial processes and monitoring, gathering, and processing real-time data for better decision making, efficiency and uptime.
