Quality at Kartik Steels goes beyond the realms of being a standard that has to be adhered to. It has in fact, become a way of life for its personnel. With absolutely no compromise on quality, the Kartik man has sought to choose the tortuous path to attaining perfection in his castings. It is with this ideology and well-defined plant standards, that the team performs day after day in bringing out the best of high-integrity castings. And the development of special alloy castings for the refinery application are part of an import substitution effort by Kartik. This has given the Company a national significance and has, in the process, earned the approbation of prestigious clients. Training is an intrinsic HRD facet in the Company. The technicians are imparted the special skills required in their relevant field to handle hi-tech test equipment, to carry out demanding test procedures and to interpret results. New samples are developed under a structured sample development programme that is being effectively implemented. Thus, it is small wonder that only the best quality products leave the foundry premises to reach the client.
