2016 New Year’s message from our Chairman

Chairman_Message

Dear All,

Happy new year to all. I hope you will celebrate new year in good spirits with family and friends.

It’s good to look ahead and think about what this year may bring us but first a quick look back. 2015 was quite busy year for all of us. We have achieved huge amount of success in terms of getting new customers on board with building strong relationship with development companies, building strong new pipeline with narrow marketing strategy and increasing our total team size efforts.

We have registered a significant growth in 2015 in domestic as well as international market. I am very much hopeful that our tiles manufacturing capacity will double in coming year. Our ratio of getting new customer on board has increased drastically. Recent exhibition at Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar by ABKKPY 2015 will definitely bring lots of customer in coming days.

Delivering quality products and services will continue to be the core of Shreeji Ceramic’s business. To realize the full benefit of these activities, we also need to make sure that potential customers are familiar with our brands and aware of our products. We are exploring new materials and chemistry solutions in order to make tiles thinner, lighter weight and stronger. Our research is aimed at delivering exception range, well beyond anything available in the market today.

The current circumstances are all quite motivating to work in Indian market. “We are confident that India economy would grow 9-10 percent everywhere.” There is a huge demand for ceramic and vitrified tiles in India. I am confident that initiatives like ‘Smart Cities’ and ‘Housing For All’ will boost volumes for the overall tiles industry. Whereas we also believe that ‘Make in India’ and ‘Skill India’ initiatives will surely empower local tile manufacturing. So it is important for us to use our opportunity wisely and move forward in 2016. We must not lose sight of our priority.

India is becoming ceramic industry hub worldwide. Our export to Africa, middle-east and ASEAN nations has grown in double digits. Raw material and tools which we import from China are sharply decreasing due to “Make in India” effect and I strongly consider that soon we will introduce 100% made in India tiles to the globe.

I would like to thank you my team member, clients, family members, suppliers and staff for their significant support and dedication during challenges times in 2015. While we have successfully separated team operationally, we need to continue to work together in order to create successful business and happy customers. That will only be possible with your continued dedication and teamwork.

Coming year will bring its own challenges but I’m sure by working together, keeping focused on our priorities and putting our customers first we can realize for ambitions. There will certainly continue to be my priorities.

Let’s get right back to it in 2016.

World Environment Day – 5 June

It’s never too late for one to take initiative to create a better surrounding to live in. A beautiful environment starts with you. We breath our own deeds. We are responsible for environmental degradation and thus we cause unhygienic conditions around us. We are responsible to turn tropical forests to barren land and turn the colourful world into grey clouds of pollution. Environment has nurtured us well. It’s our turn now to return the favour. The environment will only be able to protect us if it is protected.

To keep our environment safe and sound, we are burning PNG from Gujarat Gas Company as primary fuel. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report in 2015 says manufacturing units that use natural gas instead of coal produce 90 times less sulfur dioxide than Coal, 5 times less nitrogen oxide and 50% less carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas. Natural gas is known as ‘cleanest burning fossil fuel.’

 
Our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi inspired saying, “Let’s ensure that even the smallest step we take in our daily lives will be an effort towards conserving nature and natural resources.” One such step is digitizing India, which has contributed a lot to go paperless. The nation is undergoing significant transformation. Let’s also transform environment along with #TransformingIndia. Let’s turn this environment from grey to green in a smart way. Let’s grow more trees for a better shade tomorrow. A transformed environment in #TransformingIndia is definitely possible if we act upon it. Let’s make our neighbourhood and our country a green place to live in.

TileGuide: 5 things to consider when selecting tiles.

Whether you’re an interior designer, an architect, or a homeowner, picking the perfect tile for your client or a DIY project at your own home possess a handful of challenges and hurdles. An endless array of options to choose from, applications of certain products and installation techniques make selecting tile and intimidating decision.

TileGuide_5things

Rest assured, Shreeji Ceramic team is here to help! For tile that lasts and keeps your client happy for decades, here are the five most important things to consider when selecting tile.

Are you looking for a high or low maintenance product?

The tile you select should align with the lifestyle you live and the amount of time you want to spend on maintenance. Lifestyle that result in spills, scratches and hectic schedules aren’t tailored to carpet, natural stone or wooden flooring. Full body Vitrified tile, however less costlier and low at maintenance and will not stain like natural stone can.

What are you looking to spend on the tile project and how quickly does it need to be executed?

Time and money must play a role in your decision making process when selecting tile. Our showrooms and TileGuide consultants will help you define budgets and timelines, and then will steer you in the right direction after these two critical pieces of information are determined.

You need to know your style.

Everyone has their own style or aesthetic that resonates with them, and getting a clear idea of what you like is very important. Are you a trendsetter? Do you want a rustic look? Do you want the newest product on the market? Photos that illustrate your favourite designs, colors and textures are a great starting point, too. We wish our clients has smiling face after each purchase made and then they can proudly ask others to #showyourStile.

Be sure to compare tile samples before selecting.

Samples are a key ingredient to consider when selecting tile. Compare the design samples under different lights and during different times of day, and place the sample next to fixtures, colors swatches and applications. You’ll be amazed how time spent with a sample will make your decision easier.

Your tile is artwork, and tile installers are artists. Find a quality installer!

Be sure to select an experienced, caring and responsible tile installer to make your vision and design a reality. Beautiful tile products cannot compensate for careless installation.

Since Shreeji Ceramic is a tastemaker and a trendsetter, we enjoy discussing what’s coming up and introducing new concepts. There will always be timeless styles, and those are some of the most popular products at Shreeji Ceramic and every year there are trends that we see sprouting up in our industry.

Anti-bacterial Tiles: Swine Flu (H1N1) can be avoided!

SwineFlu_2015

Tiles have become a lifestyle statement, be it on your floors or walls of your bathroom, kitchen or living space. They have left mosaic, marble and wooden flooring far behind. But if one goes by what expert suggest, in times to come you can expect continuous technologies advances in tiles for homes and office.

Besides being beautifully designed and advanced in terms of style, Shreeji Ceramic have special anti-bacterial Vitrified tiles which help to keep germs away from your family and also don’t let the germs grow causing health hazards for your family.

You might be aware that the new version of swine influenza virus (H1N1) is spreading from person to person by the normal transmission routes associated with colds and seasonal influenza. These Viral particles can survive on any surfaces for certain periods. Thus, a regular and targeted regime of surface cleaning is helpful to prevent the spread of swine flu.

Our internal research says antibacterial tiles are tiles that, by nature, resist germs. The tiles usually made from clay, have mineral particles such as titanium dioxide embedded in them. It won’t kill viruses but when sunlight or artificial UVA light falls on the tiles, the reaction with titanium dioxide would kill the bacteria. It’s always best to take precautions than to treat the disease after getting infected. To prevent illness and infection, proper hygienic practices and cleanliness measures are required. It is important to have a safe and healthy home that keep your floor, kitchen and bathroom germ-free.

While Vitrified tiles offers better sanitation, we recommend standard hygienic practices be followed for maximum protection. Like other ordinary tiles, you can keep your floor clean with mild soaps or detergent.

Swine Flu can be avoided with some simple steps. Besides regularly clean floor and walls, protect yourself against the H1N1 by adopting some easy measures:

-Wash your hands often with soap and water especially after you cough or sneeze.

-Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.

-Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs easily spread that way.

And if you think you caught in Swine Flu – please stay home and call your GP.

Spread the words. Not the germs.
