What Kitec Industries does

Kitec Industries (India) Private Limited is an Indian manufacturer of multilayer composite piping systems headquartered in Silvassa, Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Founded in 1996 as a joint venture with KiTECHNOLOGY BV of the Netherlands, the company produces PE-AL-PE, PE-AL-PEX, and PEX-AL-PEX composite pipes using proprietary adhesive-bonded aluminum barrier technology, alongside HDPE pipes, PVC and silent PVC drainage pipes, pre-insulated composite pipes, and complementary fittings (brass, composite, stainless steel, push-fit), valves, and water-treatment accessories. Kitec holds multiple certifications (ISO 9001:2015, IS 15450, ASTM F1281, IAPMO IGC-India 308/309, DVGW, SVGW, NSF 61, WRAS) and operates a Ministry of Science & Technology-recognized in-house R&D unit since 2017; it was the first manufacturer of composite pipes in India and remains the only domestic producer of 3.5" and 4" composite pipe sizes.

The company sells exclusively through a channel-based go-to-market: a nationwide network of 20+ marketing associates and distributors covering all Indian states including Jammu & Kashmir, the Northeast, and all major metros, supplemented by direct digital touchpoints (kitecindia.in, Plumbfit app). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of piping systems to end users in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC/air conditioning, industrial compressed air, fuel and gas distribution, and chemical/food processing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; price lists are distributed as PDF downloads and quotes are handled via the channel network. Named enterprise customers include Larsen & Toubro, Blue Star, ITC Hotels, Oberoi Hotels, Le Royal Meridien, The Regent, Nuclear Power Corporation of India, BSNL, and Gujarat Gas. Kitec self-describes as the market leader in alternative small-diameter piping in India, with the "KiTEC" brand having become synonymous with composite pipes domestically; the trademark was transferred from KiTECHNOLOGY BV to the Indian entity in 2008.
