A family business since 1981
FERROBEND is a successor to M/s Anand Steels, a company founded in the year 1981 by Mr. Mishrimal Umaji Mehta, who ran the company until the second generation took over the day-to-day operations in the year 2008. Anand Steels was a well-known stockist and supplier of industrial raw material that covered pipes, bars, rods and plates across stainless steel and high nickel alloys.
Due to growing competition, the younger generation decided to look for a niche market and developed a business strategy to serve customers holding make-to-order jobs and products which are not available off-the-shelf. The market was not new but had very few competitors and great untapped potential. This further led us to develop an overseas market, and thus FERROBEND was formed in the year 2014 as an entity to brand our products for both domestic and overseas markets. FERROBEND is involved in manufacturing bar stock fittings, flanges, valves and machined fasteners and components on a make-to-order basis and for shut-down jobs.
FERROBEND is now a family-run business, with Mr. Samkit Mehta and Mr. Shrenik Mehta as the forerunners of the company. To this day, FERROBEND has maintained this strategy and serves customers all over the globe, from Far East Asia to North and South America. We now have a customer database of over 200+ customers from over 30+ countries. We are constantly upgrading ourselves and growing at 40% year-on-year.
COVID-19 changed everything, from people to business, and it affected our lives too. FERROBEND took a bold step and shifted its focus from fittings and flanges to fasteners. Since March 2020, when the nation-wide lockdown was announced, our team has worked relentlessly, since the nature of our business was hampered the most during the lockdown and was expected to see a slow pick-up.
From April 2021 we incorporated a new entity, M/s Boltport Fasteners, and merged the fastener manufacturing business into it, giving us an edge over current industry players. We are now developing a master inventory of standard conventional fasteners while continuing to serve the niche market of make-to-order fastener jobs. We have established ourselves as a manufacturer of unconventional and standard fasteners across mild steel, high tensile carbon and alloy steel, to high nickel alloys and titanium, catering to oil and gas, process piping, mineral and metal mining, and offshore platforms.
