We believe that sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.

As one of India’s largest pipes and fittings manufacturers, we focus on how all our business activities impact our Triple Bottom Line Goals. With 7 state-of-art manufacturing units across India, sustainable manufacturing is a key goal, amongst others not because it is ‘obligatory’ but a necessity to be responsible towards the world we live in.

At Prince Pipes, Product Life Cycle Analysis [PLCA] has become a tool of choice used to establish the sustainability impact of the products we manufacture and market. Across all stages of the product life cycle we assimilate very clear avenues where we are able to reduce the environmental impact, create social capital and achieve cost efficiency
