How did you transform into a versatile furniture company by confronting the challenges during inception?
Laying our first footsteps towards the wholesale and retail trade of plywood in 1981, we plunged into the furniture industry in 1985 to create beautiful spaces for homes and offices. From the phase of importing furniture, we gradually forayed into setting up our own factories to manufacture ergonomic sofas,
beds, tables and chairs. Moreover with the advent of our novel modular factory, we evolved into a primary provider for premium office desking and shelving systems, both big and small orders (selection of materials & furniture) and multiple turnkey projects across public and private sectors in India. Consolidating 33 years of profound knowledge and expertise in crafting everyday spaces, we currently outshine as the pioneers in devising veneer to plywood, home to office furniture, modular furniture to projects, and workplace solutions.
