Give a glimpse of your professional background and experiences. Define Nirmal Glasstech Industries as an organization and how is it placed in the industry?

Within a short span of time I realized that the industry has a huge potential and we can do wonders by leveraging the best technology. We are well known for variable equipment products. They are an important aspect when producing quality bottles is concerned.
We are the largest manufactures and exporters of glass bottles in the industry, exporting to 48 plus countries at the present. We are makers of all types of glass bottle
range like cosmetic, perfume, eyeliner, liquor, coke, vaccines, etc. We are well known in the sector for perfume bottles and now, vaccines bottles in India. We export to South African countries, North America, South America, Japan Korea, Russia, etc. We assure the best quality and engineering in our products.
Take us around the company’s portfolio of products and solutions. What makes the company stand out from other competitors in the industry?

We have the best manufacturing facilities when it comes to bottle quality, design and strength. We also use the best technology to bring down cost and weight of the bottles.

My business mantra has been to deploy the best technology and automation in the manufacturing process. With the help of technology, Nirmal Glasstech has been able to be successful in achieving its goal, ensuring maximum production, best design, accuracy in processes, and bringing
down the cost per unit, thus providing affordable prices to our customers.
Skilled labour is a challenging aspect that the manufacturing industry often struggles with. We could come down to 40 percent manpower with enabling automation in the production process.
In the road ahead, what are your goals and how do you plan to execute them?
As yet, we are the experts in the industry and have the best experience in terms of technology, quality and marketing in the sector. We have grown to 17 percent in the last two years, despite the pandemic. The future roadmap primarily lies in increasing the turnover and expansion.
Besides, we want to focus more towards the best delivery to our customers. Through research and development, we are planning to deploy the best technology towards energy consumption that will in turn, bring down the cost of production, thus leading to more cost-efficiency for our clients. We want to become the top five manufacturers of glass bottles in the world.
In your professional journey so far, which are the milestones that have bestowed you with utmost satisfaction - both as an individual and as an entrepreneur?
Being among the top 10 manufacturers and the top choice of the OEMs across the world has been the biggest achievement so far. We also stand proud as the winners of two National awards for best exports and best engineering industry from MSME. We also received an award from Government of Rajasthan.
