What are the improvements you had made recently?

Last financial year, we took many steps to improve efficiency. We made major investments in rearranging and organising the inventory at our factory making it more systematic and giving us stock update at any given time. We also organised sales training and motivation session for our marketing team helping the team improve how we handle customer situations and productivity.

We formed a dynamic service team to cater to customer's services in Eastern zone for INDEF, Kabelschlepp and CUMI products.

At present, we are authorised partners with INDEF, Hercules Hoists Ltd, Giovenzana Italy, and Kabelschlepp Germany. We are currently holding talks with few material handling equipment manufacturers from USA and we are positive to bring those brands to India very soon.
