The industrial safety industry market has been growing consistently over the last few years. With the growing awareness related to workplace safety and increased education amongst consumers, the market of industrial safety products has witnessed a rapid rise within the industries. There are many companies and even MNCs that are investing in the growing market of Industrial Safety Products. Most of the companies are focusing on the large chunk of potential consumers in the developing countries. Riding this wave of development is Kolkata-based Intech, a company devoted to providing a complete range of products for occupational health and safety. “We are committed to being a part of the growth process by increasing awareness about the safety products and benefits of the same. We just do not want to ride the growth wave but be an innovative front runner in the process. To achieve this, we dedicate ourselves to serve our customers with the best-available products and at the same time invest in technology to deliver quality solutions. From an infrastructure and commitment perspective, we are ready to grow by serving our customers with the products they need,” says Gautam Gupta, Founder & MD, Intech.
Intech doesn’t restrict itself to being a mere safety product manufacturer but it carves a niche in the industry safety solution providers aptly justifying its tagline - Life saving solutions. This enables the entire Intech team to combine before, during and after sales services as one unit to provide our clients with extensive experience with safety. “We have noticed in the last few years that although the client interest and need for safety solutions has grown tremendously often consumers don’t know what might satisfy their need. We being the experts in the field help them evaluate the risks, educate and assist them through the journey. That’s something we have been working on quite rigorously,” he mentions.
To ensure worker protection and compliance with industry regulatory standards, Intech has invested significantly in testing equipment to build a fully equipped state-of-the-art in-house testing facility. To ensure worker protection, the team thoroughly examines all points of the production process ranging from every batch of input material to every batch of supplies. The reports for the products being tested are made available to the clients on request for their perusal as well. The team leaves no stone unturned to trial everything as per the standards demanded by compliance authorities and make sure that all the levels of compliance are met. “If anything goes wrong, we take immediate measures/ actions to resolve it. This is not just to build customer confidence but is a necessity. This has helped us get 6 BIS licenses thus far,” he avers.
