LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

As Per Website Details

 

One of the largest manufacturers of flashlights in India, subject had a dream to empower individuals across the length and breadth of the country by putting a flashlight in every hand. A flashlight whose battery lasts and lasts. Forever.


It was this dream is today a reality. The Everlite Super flashlight, a patented offering from MTC. It can be claimed with certainty that invention is one of a kind. Not just in India but the world.


From 2-in-1 torches to brass-plated flashlights, the Everlite Super range is truly unique. The models come with several path breaking features and span the entire gamut - from LED candle torches to chrome-plated metal torches - to suit every budget.  Some can deliver 500+ hours of super bright white light that is 100 times more than what’s possible with conventional torches. In some, the bulb life is 1,00,000+ hours! Moreover, they come with a shock proof, water resistant body and a failure-proof twist switch. All of which ensures that not just the battery but the flashlight itself lasts for years.


All these advances in technology would have come to naught, however, without a means of reaching them to the man on the street. Not just in cities and towns, but in the hinterland. Subject is supported by a strong distribution network that spans the country, ensuring that this landmark brand is always within easy reach of customers.


Propelled by this pioneering invention, Subject is the leader by far in the portable flashlight segment. With a slew of new products on the anvil, the concern is taking huge strides towards realizing Krish’s vision. A vision of lighting up lives, making them shine bright. Forever.
