H&R Johnson opens first outlet in Chandigarh

As part of its retail business ramp-up, H&R Johnson (India), a division of Prism Cement Limited, has opened its first House of Johnson modern retail in Chandigarh.

Spread across 3,800 square feet, this House of Johnson store would be a one-stop-shop for the company’s home lifestyle product portfolio. The House of Johnson is a modern retail format catering to Punjab’s customers’ varied home lifestyle needs in tiling, engineered marble and quartz, wooden flooring and bathroom products under a single roof.

Punjab has been one of the key drivers of H&R Johnson’s business growth since the last few years. Further, the company is focusing on north India & Punjab specifically, to drive growth in business volumes across its various business ventures.

Also, in order to cater to the demand, it is also ramping up its bathroom products business towards cornering a higher market share in the organised bath-fittings and sanitaryware market. As part of this business plan, the company has doubled the production capacities at its Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) manufacturing unit to 6 lakh pieces annually.

The new capacities have started commercial production and are expected to peak capacity utilisation during next fiscal. The Baddi unit manufactures the prolific range of Johnson’s bathroom fittings. The investment made towards Baddi expansion is part of the Rs 400 crore capex announced by the company towards capability building across its various business ventures.
