Ramp Impex

What Ramp Impex does

Ramp Impex Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-headquartered distributor and supplier of scientific testing instruments and consumables used for quality control and compliance testing across multiple manufacturing industries. The company was established in 2001 by Puneet Rawal as the official distributor for UK-based SDCE Enterprises in India, and has since expanded into a multi-brand testing equipment platform. Its core offering spans physical testing instruments covering abrasion, pilling, bursting, tear, tensile, colour fastness, flammability, permeability, flexing, dimensional change, and impact properties, organized along three navigation axes: by testing property, by application (medical masks, cotton/wool, yarn, fabric, leather/shoes, garments, toys), and by international standard (ISO, ASTM, AATCC, BS, EN, DIN, JIS, AS, GB).

Ramp Impex distributes internationally recognized brands including SDCE (UK), Mesdan, Roaches, Q-Lab, LabTex, X-Rite, MSI, Ihara, Electrolux, Testfabrics, and Deatek. The product portfolio covers textile, footwear, plastic, toy, paper & packaging, automotive, paint & coating testing, environmental test chambers, and a recurring consumables line (abrasion, crockmeter, detergents, multifiber, phenolic yellowing, wash testing). The business model is quote-based B2B distribution: Ramp Impex sells instruments and consumables directly to laboratories, apparel houses, textile brands, and processing mills across India, with 650+ active accounts established primarily through the long-running SDCE partnership.

The company is founder-owned and operated by Puneet Rawal and Rachna Rawal, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries. Operations are run from a single New Delhi office with 51-100 employees. GTM is predominantly direct sales supplemented by a content-rich website (rampimpex.com) and WhatsApp Business integration for customer inquiries. Revenue mechanics rely on instrument resale margins, recurring consumables purchases, and brand-portfolio cross-selling into an established Indian textile and manufacturing customer base.

Direct peers

• Paramount Scientific & Chemical Co. India-based supplier of scientific instruments and laboratory equipment with similar multi-vertical reach into textile, footwear and industrial testing customers. Comparable scale and distribution-led business model.
• James Heal: UK-based manufacturer of textile testing instruments with deep overlap to the SDCE/Roaches portfolio Ramp Impex distributes. A potential competitor or partner depending on India distribution structure.
• Aimil Ltd: Indian distributor of analytical and test/measurement instruments serving laboratories and industrial customers. Closely comparable B2B distribution model to Ramp Impex, with multi-principal portfolio and India-wide reach.
• Labindia Instruments: Indian distributor and integrator of scientific/laboratory instruments. Operates a similar multi-principal distribution model serving testing labs and industrial customers across India.
• SDL Atlas Group: Global manufacturer of textile testing instruments and consumables. As a peer principal, SDL Atlas competes with SDCE/Roaches and would be a direct competitor to Ramp Impex if it established India presence.

Broad incumbents

• Agilent Technologies: Major manufacturer of test and measurement instruments with operations in India. Overlaps with Ramp Impex in industrial and analytical testing categories served through direct India sales channels.
• PerkinElmer: Analytical laboratory instrument manufacturer with strong India footprint. Competes broadly with the same end customers (QA/QC labs) that Ramp Impex supplies via its principals.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Global leader in laboratory analytical instruments with significant India presence. Competes at portfolio level with many of the principals Ramp Impex distributes and represents the broader incumbent competitive set.

Emerging players

• SGS India: India arm of the global testing, inspection and certification company. While a services provider rather than equipment vendor, SGS directly shapes demand for testing instruments in India and overlaps in textile/footwear/automotive end markets.
• TÜV India: India-based testing, inspection and certification services provider. Similar to SGS India as a buyer-side influencer of testing-equipment demand across the verticals Ramp Impex serves.
