Our Company was originally incorporated as Weldtech Private Limited in the State of Rajasthan on August 4, 1992 under the Companies Act, 1956 vide certificate of incorporation issued by Registrar of Companies, Jaipur.. The name of the Company was changed to Gravita India Private Limited with effect from August 2, 1996 and subsequently company was converted into Public Limited vide a fresh certificate of incorporation dated 13th August, 1996 from Registrar of Companies, Jaipur. We started our business with welding and surface coating and were appointed as stockist of Eutectic Division of Larsen and Toubro for state of Rajasthan. Later we entered into arena of manufacturing of Lead products from the battery scrap and set up a manufacturing unit at Jaipur with a capacity of 600 MT per annum. In the year 1996-97 with the objective of forward integration the company diversified into Grey Oxide, Litharge and Red Lead. During the year 2000 there was change in the duty structure of import and export of lead products which badly affected the health of the secondary lead producers and we were part of the same. The company had to stall its operation on account non-repayment of dues to banks but revived its operation in the year after the settlement of the same. Since 2005 the Company has taken the adequate measure to diversify the product range and expand its market to insulate itself from changes in regulations and duty structures. Also the strategy to built plants in different locations globally and service local markets as well as source raw material from different parts of the world has created a strong foundation for the Company. Presently, we are an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified company and a certified "Star Export House" by Director of Foreign Trade, India under Ministry of Commerce and Industry with a wide range of lead products.
