The company manufactures in ISO 9001:2000-certified plants in Pune and Silvassa using fully automated lines with strict quality checkpoints (raw material inspection, aesthetics, performance, and reliability testing) validated by third-party agencies including Intertek, SGS, and Bureau Veritas, with adherence to LFGB and EU migration norms.
