Our wide range, quality of the products, our unbeatable service, our R&D and our dedication to develop and supply more beautiful and high-quality products sets us apart from other brands. – What is the latest trend in the hardware industry? There was a time when frameless glass was a trend in the market for which patch fittings were used to make fully transparent frameless façade.

It is a challenging task to select good architectural hardware as there are many options available in a wide price range. It is very important for the purchaser to have in-depth technical knowledge to select good architectural hardware. One should ask for product certification, cycle test parameter and material grade test reports while making a selection. Also, the process of manufacturing is important to know as the durability of the product is ascertained from a planned and correct process. – How do you compete with unbranded hardware available in the market? In the Indian market, unbranded hardware is generally of interior quality and there is very less chance of availability in the next lot. We focus on maintaining the quality of our products and supply chains. We also conduct training sessions for dealers and fabricators to educate them about the difference in quality of products available in the market. – What are the major challenges to India’s architecture hardware industry? Glass and hardware industry has witnessed tremendous growth in the past three decades, lots of growth is yet to happen. Good amount of work has been done on the usage of glass in buildings. Standards are in place. A book titled ‘Guidelines on use of glass in buildings -Human Safety’ was published in 2007 with numerous revisions and reprints. Unfortunately, negligible work has been done on the hardware side with respect to standards, specifications and guidelines of use of hardware in buildings.
