Responsible manufacturing

Sustainability

Manufacturing responsibly for future generations — steel abrasives are among the most recyclable surface-preparation media in the world, and we build on that inherent advantage.

Three pillars

Sustainability built into production

Every environmental commitment we make is measurable, audited, and woven into daily operations — not a marketing statement.

40% renewable energy

Energy

Rooftop solar arrays and heat-recovery systems on our induction furnaces have reduced energy intensity per ton of finished abrasive by nearly a third since 2018. Every production line runs load-scheduled to off-peak hours wherever possible.

95% water recycled

Water

Our closed-loop water atomization system collects, settles, treats and recirculates process water. Effluent quality is monitored continuously against environmental norms. The target is zero untreated discharge from the facility.

Zero landfill

Waste

Process scrap, oversized particles and metallic fines are captured and re-melted back into production rather than disposed of. By closing the loop on our raw material stream, waste-to-landfill is kept at zero across normal operations.

Green initiatives

Progress since 2018

2018

Baseline energy audit completed. Heat-recovery systems installed on furnace lines 1 & 2.

2019

Closed-loop water recycling commissioned across atomization towers. Effluent monitoring initiated.

2020

Zero-landfill fines policy introduced. Metallic fines recovery rate reaches 98%.

2021

Rooftop solar phase 1 commissioned — 480 kWp installed, covering 22% of facility power.

2022

ISO 14001-aligned environmental management system implemented with quarterly audits.

2023

Solar phase 2 commissioned — total installed capacity reaches 1.1 MWp, 40% renewable share.

2024

Dust-collection upgrade across all screening stations. Stack emission levels 60% below statutory limits.
