In the pharmaceutical sector, it is again among the top three but in petrochemical and chemical industry, it claims to be one of the leaders. The company is continuously working for further capacity addition by developing new modules.

Tapping the Opportunity in Solar Industry
Moving forward, FitRight Nuts and Bolts sees an opportunity in solar application where it plans to capture the market as there is a huge demand for fasteners in solar installations. Solar industries use a variety of fasteners to securely mount solar panels and other solar components.

In the future, the company wants to make more and more products to cater to the solar industry and is keeping an eye on all kinds of new tenders. “I believe substations are going to come up and the market of solar products, both domestic and international, are going to grow a lot as the cost of electricity production as well as the infrastructure cost of setting up a solar plant has come down drastically. We would definitely like to capture that market and we are training our resources towards the same,” says Jayesh.
