Beyond customer service excellence & product quality assurance, NIF Ispat also focuses on implementing the right balance between technological integration & traditional craftsmanship

Although the firm strives to stay abreast with modern advancements in its manufacturing facility, integrating machine-driven production processes, it also maximizes traditional talent and craftsmanship by enabling older workers to train younger talent.

For thriving in this sector, we ensure that we understand these guidelines in addition to the unique product specs required by customers. So to ensure we fulfill all these criteria, we focus on our training, and also collaborate with third-party companies for things like audits and training, ensuring that our manufacturing capabilities and workforce skills are at par with global standards”, further shares Sugam Madhogaria.
