In the year 2004-2005, the company went into the manufacture of mild steel clips used in spring assemblies as a separate product since the clips available in the market at that time were of inferior quality. Initially a test market was done to assess the future requirement and because of the response, it got for the product, a full fledged manufacture of clips was taken up with the existing facility available in the company. The turnover at the beginning which was at Rs.6 Lakhs – Rs.7 Lakhs per year has increased to Rs.70 Lakhs approximately.
The future for this segment is quite encouraging that almost all the branches of the company are able to successfully market this product.

To achieve this, the company has gone in for modification in roll pass designs to roll ultra thin sections of 50 x 6, 50 x 10, 45 x 6, and 45 x 5. Test rolling of 50 x 6 and 50 x 10 were carried on 13.11.2010, whereas 45 x 6, and 45 x 5 were carried out on 14.03.2011. Regular production is being taken up every month as per the requirement of the market. This step of rolling these sections has made the company self sufficient to meet the market requirement of ultra light vehicles.
