High-stakes scenarios and regulatory requirements drive the demand for third-party inspections, mirroring business growth. This demand highlights NMCI Inspections and Survey's crucial role as a leading provider of survey, inspection, laboratory testing, and PSI audit services. Established in India in 2006 as a subsidiary of NMCI Group's flagship company, National Marine Consultants, US, and headed by Chairman Ghulam Suhrawardi, NMCI Group is registered with TIC Council, Belgium, and has a global presence. The company offers third-party inspection services to industries and actively participates in the dynamic international trade environment.
Reflecting on the growth, CEO Anil Maurya states, "When I took over the company in 2012, there was only one manager. Gradually, I appointed managers with various expertises and now we have expert managers and associated testing laboratories in the field of Inspections of metal, mineral, coal, agri-food, and industrial sectors, and India business operations headed by Saikat Banerjee, Director (Operations). Additionally, we manage quality control in food factories and industrial fabrication workshops. I also hired a specialist in plastic packaging, including PP and PVC, who initiated inspections and testing in FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container). This strategic hiring facilitated our continuous growth".
