With growing efforts to conserve water, and the consistently rising challenge of water scarcity, the demand for more innovative irrigation systems, developed with efficient technologies, capable of conserving more and more water is on the rise. Consequently, the industry is shifting towards the adoption of precision agriculture practices, such as the use of drones, satellite imagery, and IoT devices which help monitor the crop and soil moisture levels and weather patterns, allowing greater control in maneuvering irrigation practices.
However, challenges like the wastage of water resulting from inadequate and inefficient irrigation methods, uneven distribution of water, issues with water logging and blockages occurring from outdated and poorly maintained systems, and lack of advanced technologies, continue to hamper the sector’s development.
For the purpose of overcoming these challenges, Malpani Pipes, a 2017 established ISO 9001:2008 certified company manufacturing different types of HDPE, MDPE, PVC, and DRIP IRRIGATION pipes, provides innovative and efficient irrigation solutions that have been meticulously designed to boost water distribution and conservation processes.
Manufacturing High-Quality Products
Operating from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ratlam, Malpani Pipes manufactures high-quality pipes with zero leakages, thereby minimizing the wastage of water by a significant amount. To ensure reliability in the market and minimize maintenance costs, the company pays close attention, and employs key technologies such as using high-quality virgin raw materials (both imported and domestic), adopting precision manufacturing technologies, focusing on the quality of the products and continually improving processes to ensure its pipes are free from leakages.
“We, at Malpani Pipes, aim to provide our customers a competitive advantage through superior product offerings at a reasonable pricing and on-time delivery. We strive to work closely with our customers and with their feedback, we seek to continuously enhance our product quality in order to exceed their expectations. Integrity and honesty are our motto and we expect our stakeholders to pursue the same. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure is spread over more than two lacs square feet area and is equipped with latest and technologically advanced machines to deliver small or bulk orders with excellence”, shares Rohit Malpani.
Equipped with advanced facilities, Malpani Pipes, in the short span since its establishment, has attracted immense interest in the domain for its unique manufacturing capabilities for varied kinds, qualities, and dimensions of pipes. But what really draws customers towards Malpani Pipes is the firm’s commitment towards manufacturing high-performance and high-quality products which are distributed far and wide through its robust distribution network.
With multiple in-house teams overseeing every business operation, the company stands out for capably catering to every requirement of the clients and maintaining complete control and transparency in product manufacturing.
From the first point of inquiry to the final delivery, dedicated teams help ensure a hassle-free journey for the clients, aligned with the firm’s stringent focus on ensuring client satisfaction every step of the way. In assuring the excellence of its products, the company also pays close attention to the work conditions, which enable it to produce unmatched products. Dedicated to building a safe working environment, the company makes it a point to adhere to regulatory compliances not just as far as products are concerned, but also with regard to worker safety. “We prioritize safety and have safety standards like the workplace safety protocol established to ensure our workers are safe. We have a strict adherence to safety guidelines for operating machinery and handling raw materials. We organize routine safety drills including fire drills and fire safety protocols on the floor and have a hazard communication also which communicates all potential hazards associated with the chemicals and equipment. Besides we conduct the regular internal and external audits which check that the compliance and safety regulatory standards are properly followed, and corrective action is taken to fix issues”, further adds Rohit Malpani.
Quality First
Boasting its capability of manufacturing exceptional quality products in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that meets the pertinent ISI standards, Malpani Pipes further undertakes a rigorous quality testing procedure, carried out by its in-house quality check control team. The quality assurance process starts at the very beginning with the selection of the appropriate virgin raw materials. The firm is equipped with advanced testing equipment and methodologies that help assess the physical and chemical properties of the materials.
As the manufacturing processes begin, continuous monitoring and testing across diverse stages of manufacturing is conducted. Checks such as dimensional checks, condition tests, pressure, and resistance evaluation, and leak tests are carried out for every batch, with any defects leading the entire batch to be scrapped off.
“We have a robust team of experienced laboratory technicians and engineers, well-versed with ISI standards, who perform regular inspections of the production machinery and processes to maintain consistent quality and efficiency. To further ensure adherence to ISI standards, we implement a final inspection and testing phase where finished products are subject to a variety of tests under simulated conditions. Our experts also pursue courses regularly conducted by specialized organizations in plastics such as CIPET, gaining knowledge of plastic or advanced technologies”, further shares Rohit Malpani.
In assuring the excellence of its products, the company also pays close attention to the work conditions, which enable it to produce unmatched products
Operating in a facility equipped with over 15 extrusion lines with a high manufacturing capacity, the company produces pipes ranging from 16 mm to 500 mm. Moreover, with its warehouses spread across India, the company ensures it has high-quality raw materials readily available. Equipped with a robust power supply system, the firm can ensure that manufacturing operations are not disrupted by sudden power cuts, which helps it guarantee on-time delivery of products. This feature also helps in ensuring uninterrupted service of its advanced machines such as automatic temperature control systems, ensuring consistent product quality.
Future Roadmap
Starting from a small manufacturing unit with a single extrusion line, the company has come a long way, established today as one of the leading industry players, working with private and governmental agencies for small as well as large-scale projects. Today, Malpani Pipes operates an extensive facility and supplies its products through an extensive distribution network across India, located strategically to ensure customers have an ample supply of products at all times. Moreover, partnerships with logistical companies further enhance the firm’s ability to guarantee on-time deliveries.
As the firm envisions its future, it is driven to expand exponentially in the next few years across business verticals. Firstly, the firm aims to expand its offerings to include gas pipelines, OPVC, duct coils (which find extensive application in the telecommunications sector), and more. Besides expanding its offerings, the firm is also dedicated to identifying and exploring opportunities for geographic expansion. To achieve this, the firm will adopt a two-pronged approach wherein it strives to strengthen its hold in the markets where it is already established, and also expand into new markets with the potential to provide good returns. Lastly, the company is also planning to expand its production capacity significantly, growing from the current 15 extrusion lines to 20 extrusion lines to meet the growing demand for these products.
As the firm focuses its efforts towards expanding its production capacity, portfolio of products, and presence across India, it is moving towards becoming the industry leader in the next few years.
