We observed a strong gap between consumer needs and market offerings. With a rapidly evolving product portfolio and setting up of the largest and most technologically advanced plants in the country, it was time to evolve ourselves and our vision in order to strongly reiterate our commitment to take the Indian wood panelling industry forward. “
