Company Profile

Shri Kishore Khambhayta, an NRI based in Dubai, founded an export-oriented unit in 1993 at Rajkot manufacturing architectural ironmongery. Being an innovative craftsman & a businessman with clear vision & foresight, he pioneered use of AISI 316 stainless steel as Raw Material. This Raw Material was in use all over abroad (& not in India) as it provided maximum protection against corrosion, enhancing product life span. Architects & interior Designers handling projects abroad as well as in India prompted Kishore K. to enter domestic market with the unique anticorrosive ironmongery. The initial customer Acceptance at a few selected projects led to a significant response from eminent hardware outlets, resulting into an enterprising Dealer Network all across India. Marketing efforts to create awareness through promotional measures such as personal visits & advertisement in periodicals regularly referred by architects, culminated in establishing customer's preference for 316 stainless steel Ironmongery, making phenomenal dents in the conventional hardware's market. Towards 2000 year-end, Kishore K. dissolved partnership agreement with working partner and started another manufacturing unit viz. Dunex Metal Products at Rajkot in 2001. The advent of DUNEX brand heralded manufacturing of Glass Fittings in India for the first time. Endowed with International markets work-experience besides his own craftsmanship & workmanship capabilities, Kishore K. succeeded significantly in penetrating major markets with his new DUNEX Brand. DUNEX Product Range can be broadly classified into five groups :-

• Door Hardware (Lever Handles, Glass Handles, Door stop & others) • Furniture Fitting (Cabinet & Drawer Handles, Knobs) • Glass Fitting (Patch Fitting, Glass Connectors, Shower Hinges, Spider Fitting) • Bathroom Accessory (Soap Dish, Towel Rack, Indicator Bolt, Toilet Paper Holder & others) • Misc. Fittings (Knock-Down Staircase & Railing Systems, Stainless Steel & Glass Cladding, Customized Fittings/Hardware, Etc.) DUNEX Products are sold by leading hardware outlets in all major cities of India.

DUNEX brand also enjoys selective export buyers & users, supplied from Rajkot as well as from Dubai establishment. DUNEX business in domestic market is developed & monitored by a professional team of residential marketing personnel. Indian market scenario with respect to stainless steel ironmonger’s market share has undergone phenomenal change. End-users as well as specifiers (Architects & Interior Designers) have shown their preference for stainless steel as against brass, chrome plated & lacquered hardware. Increased market share for Stainless Steel hardware is also evident from recent entry of many International brands with/without their own office set-up in India. DUNEX Product Range has an edge over all of them as Dunex is manufactured in India & also provides benefits of innovative fitment technology owing to International market exposure that Shri Kishore K. has. Kishore K. discerning radical changes in Indian market scenario, has procured nearly four acres of land at Rajkot.
