Website Details :

 

For long, India has held qualitative significance in the world's Stainless Steel industry and in the last quarter century, it grew rapidly to cross an annual production landmark of 1 million tones, to gain a certain amount of quantitative importance too.

 

Still, in comparison with its gigantic dimensions (geographic, as well as demographic) India's per capita Steel consumption is way below countries a fraction of its size. For instance, compared to the country's per capita consumptions of 0.8 Kg. Taiwan's 30 Kg, or Italy's 23 Kg per capita consumptions is astoundingly higher.

 

But this scenario is undergoing a dramatic transformation, and Indian Steel industry is right now pausing on the cusp of exponential growth.

 

As the New Millennium unfolds in its breathless pace, India's consumerism is exploding, and its buyer population (which exceeds the entire population of Europe), is pushing consumption levels through the ionosphere. This has spurred an incredible industrial growth all around.

 

This is great news for India's Steel industry, because there just cannot be development without Steel. Giving it an extra impetus is the fast-forward growth of railways, fast food, food processing, and automobile, building hardware, construction & architecture and utensils industries.

 

Headquartered in Gujarat, an SS consortium is all set to ride this impending Stainless Steel revolution.

 

The Banyan & Berry Group of Companies:

 

Banyan & Berry Bearings Pvt Ltd (BBBPL)

Banyan & Berry Alloys Ltd (BBAL)

Banyan & Berry Metals Pvt Ltd (BBMPL)

 

At the BBAL plant, an integrated Quality Management System overrides all other aspects of operation. Every activity follows a well-defined quality conformance procedure, and every employee is infused with a high level of quality consciousness as a part of the company culture. A whole range of Quality Control & Analysis equipment and specially trained Quality management personnel ensure that every product that leaves the plant conforms to high ideals of quality. What is more, this quality chain begins from the raw material stage, and extends up to after-sales services

 

The main promoter of BBAL is Ishwarbhai Patel, a Steel industry veteran with two decades of multifaceted experience. He has in his past portfolio successful Steel ventures such as Vijay Steel of Bhavnagar, Gujarat.

 

Arun G Verma, the promoter-director of BBAL, is a Mechanical Engineer by training. An accomplished technocrat, he has had a decade-long stint in corporate giants in the field, and a long inning as a much sought-after technology consultant.

Bhailalbhai B Patel, a manugacted entrepreneur who heads various companies of the Nicolians Group (involed in export of jewellery, leather, equipment, textiles, bulk during and formulation), is in charge of BBAL's import-export activities.

 

The trio has, the years, gathered together highly talented teams of techno-managers, engineers, technicians, finance, management & marketing experts and field staff, building for BBAL outstanding personnel Strength.


 

Personnel Power:

 

Apart from the tried, tested & trusted paradigms of human resource development, BBAL has evolved its own methodologies of employee enrichment. Through its stringent safety practices, the company demonstrates to every employee that it cares. Through a meritocartic work environment that promotes innovation and rewards ideation, the company ensures that ennui and angst do not set in and destroy employee enthusiasm. Thorough periodical HRD events that involve the families of employee, the company builds a feeling of oneness. Through events that stimulate the intellect and events that enhance know-how, the company upgrades the input quality of every employee.

 

In sum, BBAL provides its personnel much more than good careers. It offers them wholesome lives.

 

Nature-Friendly Enterprising:

 

The BBAL plant, and all other plants of the Banyan & Berry Group, employ environment-friendly technologies, use ecologically sound methodologies, and take special measures to minimize/ neutralize pollution and they undertake a host of measures to green the areas surrounding their plants.

 

It is part of the group's corporate philosophy, to make a conscious effort to give back to the society at least a fraction of what it has gained from it.

 

The Secret behind the Smile

 

Consider:

 

The group has evolved across 10 years in the industry's frontlines, and is led by hardcore industry experts. The demand curves fly way over the company's existent total output, giving it a rare market confidence and an urge to grow exponentially. The company has already acquired 68.32 acres of land, factoring in future expansions.

 

In short, BBAL is not waiting for opportunity to knock. It has already kept the doors open.
