Increasing infrastructural development driven by government initiatives has created immense demand for industrial doors, shutters and gates. Technological advancements are enabling manufacturers to meet the demand in innovative and effective ways. However, the major drawback for the market has been the traditional approach with no proper R&D support, thus resulting in poor quality products. More-over, customers’ lack of technical knowledge in differentiating between organized and unorganized manufacturers has also been a major problem in the market today.

Bridging this gap, GATEMAAN is bringing the world's best technologies in Indus-trial Roll-Up Doors, High Speed Doors, Sectional Doors, Dock Levellers, Dock Shelters etc., to India by partnering with the global market leading company Efaflex. The company’s main strength has been the fact that all its departments work concurrently in creating new products and also simultaneously optimizing the product’s cost. Thus achieving global standards in quality and design. The company also trains clients’ in-house teams to resolve the basic issues which ensure no sudden downtimes are faced.

“We thoroughly make our clients under-stand the technical aspect of our products, with what factors make it better and trustable than other products in the market today; as the faulty products won't guarantee a seamless working, it affects the operations drastically. Furthermore, there is no pro-active maintenance support because of which they face downtime, thus affecting their businesses severely,” explains Nithin Seshu, Business Head at GATEMAAN.
