Agni Steels bags IS:14650 certification

ERODE Subject act as., the Erode based Steel rods and bars manufacturer has recently obtained one more certification (IS: 14650) from the Bureau of Indian Standards for its Steel cast Billet ingots, said the company sources on Thursday. Comapny, an ISO 9001-2000 certified firm, already hold IS: 1786 for its cold twisted steel bars and IS: 2830 for its steel cast billet ingots, apart from TOR certification from Tor Steel Research Foundation in India. — Their Staff Reporter.

About Agni

It was in the year 1992 that they commenced production by installing a 3-ton Induction Furnace for manufacturing ingots. As a well-established name in the manufacture of ISI-certified TMT steel rods, their devotion to impeccable quality and customer satisfaction is the differentiating factor. Their expertise as a renowned manufacturer of steel rods has been strengthened through years of experience in this field. It is the reason why they continue to pursue glorious heights; why they manufacture steel rods, but deliver quality.

At every phase of the manufacturing process, they reaffirm their commitment to the highest quality. The fact that they furnish a Test Certificate for every lot that goes out of their factories, is ample proof. Combining a host of benefits like high bendability & weldability and resistance to fire, rust & corrosion, their rods are a cost-effective option in construction. They believe that their years of experience in the industry and a fast growing dealer network will carry their legacy forward and strengthen their foothold in the years to come.

 

The Assurance

At AGNI, they do not just strive for customer satisfaction; what they aim at, is customer delight. They believe that they need to go beyond customer expectations and deliver quality with consistency. To achieve this, their relentless efforts are directed towards manufacturing products in conformance with challenging standards.

As a corporate citizen, they are deeply dedicated to the environment they operate in. In whatever little way that they can, they make sure their responsibility in this regard is duly fulfilled.  Through a windmill for the generation of green potheyr, they endeavour to reinforce their commitment to the environment.

 

Quality Control

At AGNI, they believe that quality is not an end-product; it is a continuous process. Which is why, it is the watchword in all their operations. Committed to manufacture and sell quality steel products that conform to relevant standards and as per customer’s requirements, their goal is to continually endeavour in enhancing the customer-centric activities.”

Mechanical Properties

Certifications

Their efforts to exceed expectations and endorse excellence are reflected in the certifications conferred on them. It is their continuous pursuit to excel that enables them to set standards as well as achieve them.

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

They are the 1st Indian company in the Private Sector to have been bestowed with a rare honour - the ‘ISI’ certification (IS 14650 for Cast Billet Ingots). This certificate was awarded to them in 2004 by the BIS in recognition of the quality of their ingots. Along with the IS 14650, they have also been certified with the IS 2830 for the Cast Billet Ingots that go into the manufacture of rods.

A testimonial to their single-minded focus on attaining flawless quality is the ‘ISI’ mark. The entire range of steel rods that they manufacture has been certified with the ‘ISI’ mark. Their products comply with not just Indian standards but also international standard codes of practice. The quality parameters for Fe 415 and Fe 500 conform to French & German Standards that are equivalent to IS 1786-1985, and also the international recommendation by CEB. An efficient and experienced team of Quality Control Engineers manning their hi-tech laboratory ensures that no effort is spared in the achievement of these standards.

 

Dealer Network:

Their presence over the South of India has been greatly strengthened by more than 150 dealers. Just like their sturdy rods, they share an unbreakable bond with their dealer network. Together, they have cut across barriers of location and logistics to penetrate the territory down South.

A well-established market has contributed towards easy accessibility of our rods for their customers as well as an increased market share for them. As they continue to explore new markets, their goal is to make their brand the number one choice in steel rods across geographical boundaries.  

 

Products:

Thermo Mechanically Treated Agni TMT bars come with a rib pattern which is specially designed to ensure excellent bond strength between the bar and the surrounding concrete. The ribs are cut by automated milling machines, which produce uniform and concrete ribs. The tough outer surface and core of Agni TMT bars result in the excellent bend ability.
