Vimalchand Rathod, managing director, said, We are pleased to report a solid start to FY26 with robust Revenue & EBITDA growth in Q1, primarily fuelled by the continued market acceptance of our products. This achievement was driven by strong performance across our business segments, with our creative segment reporting exceptional growth.

Our own-brand portfolio continued its upward momentum this quarter, delivering across both domestic and export markets and reinforcing its role as a key pillar of our business. The creative and the steel bottle & houseware segment have established themselves as reliable growth accretions to our company. Both these segments have a huge runway ahead of them. It was also heartening to note that our own branded pens business achieved high single digit growth in the domestic market and a very strong rebound in the export market further cementing our market leadership position.

As a part of our growth journey, weve placed orders of 50 injection moulding machines for our new under-construction Valsad manufacturing facility spanning 200,000 square feet. Leveraging the built-in flexibility of our production infrastructure, the upcoming facility will drive synergies across the pens and creative segments, unlocking new growth potential.
