Quality & research
Consistency you can bulk on
Quality control
Our QA and QC departments make sure we deliver the best quality products to our customers.
A dedicated QC team monitors production standards and tests raw materials and finished products.
Our laboratory is equipped with modern instruments, and every batch is checked for consistency in washing, wet rubbing, light and perspiration fastness — as well as strength and shade.
In coordination with R&D, we deliver the highest-quality products at competitive prices.
Research & development
As a reactive dye manufacturer, R&D is the backbone of the company and has driven our growth and expansion. The department is overseen by Dr. N. M. Prasad.
Our quality-control systems follow those of well-established dyestuff manufacturers in India and abroad, so each and every batch conforms to specification.
Research focuses on developing and optimising new products, upgrading processes and improving existing products using green chemistry — and our R&D investment has grown year on year.
Each and every batch conforms to our quality specifications — lab to bulk, bulk to bulk.
