Unveiling Expertise
Himachal Wire Industries emerges as a solution provider across an array of sectors, encompassing
infrastructure, agriculture, power, and various industrial verticals. Kunal elaborates, "The applications of galvanized wire span an extensive spectrum. It finds utility in the transmission sector for security purposes and modern fences that bolster defense infrastructure across India. Notably, the employment of gabion boxes to curtail soil erosion has assumed critical importance, particularly in the aftermath of recent flooding incidents in certain regions." However, the company's diverse product portfolio encompasses galvanized wire (GI wire), galvanized barbed wire, galvanized chain link fences, PVC-coated chain link fences, binding wire, earthing wire, earthing coils, gabion boxes, galvanized stay wires, barbed fencing wires, chain links, and more.
"Our signature product is high-quality galvanized wires with a zinc coating of 300 to 400 grams with a PVC coating that prevents corrosion even in areas with a high probability of corrosion. In terms of quality, this product is undergoing several innovations and transformations. The products are according to client specifications and international standards; it is the need of the hour because it prevents soil degradation and water leakages and can be used extensively by national highways and other government agencies", shares Kunal.
HWI is one of the silver-certified companies in India & follows ‘zero defect zero effect’ in practice
Furthermore, HWI's expertise lies in designing and manufacturing customized galvanized wires, which is a tedious process. Raw materials are procured from India's primary producers, such as Tata Steel, JSW, electricity, or the civil authority. Afterward, the process begins with a wire drawing of the required sizes according to the customers or the various segments, and then the drawn wire is used to make galvanized wire. From drawing to galvanizing, there are processes such as thinning, softening, and cleaning of the wires before galvanization. Afterward, galvanized wires are utilized to produce value-added products and engineering products.
HWI manufactures products under strict quality control norms prescribed under an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified company concerning production, and the products are relevant to INDIAN/ BRITISH/IEC standards, along with being fully accredited by a BIS setup holding five licenses. HWI is one of the silver-certified companies in India and follows ‘zero defect zero effect’ in practice. Wrapping up, Kunal states, "In recent years, the company has made significant expansion investments. This demonstrates the management's foresight in recognizing the need for significant capital expenditures for modernization and capacity expansion. So, Himachal Wire has increased twofold during 2019-2023, and we anticipate a similar growth in 2023- 2028".
