 Company Profile

Serampore Industries has been a manufacturer of quality castings since 1960. A family run business, now with the third generation well involved, SIP caters to its many customers worldwide through its headquarters and primary facilities in Calcutta , India and its overseas operations in Houston , USA .

The company was founded by Late Lala Rangilal with the purchase of a plot of land in the outskirts of Calcutta in 1960. A true visionary, he was the first in his village to receive a college degree. Having seen the British Rule decline and India becoming independent, he, like many others in his generation, was filled with the zeal of reaching the stars for his re-born motherland. And thus, he forayed into the manufacturing industry, then, the driver for economic growth.

With the establishment of a cast iron foundry, the company started its manufacturing operations and entered the domestic market for simple cast iron products. From this humble beginning more than 45 years ago, SIP has seen rapid expansion under the able guidance and leadership of the company’s founder. After firmly rooting itself in the domestic market, SIP started tapping markets beyond the shores of India . By 1972, SIP was exporting iron castings to South East Asia, and very soon added the UK and the Middle East to its export destinations. Primarily dealing in pipe fittings and municipal castings, SIP offered an impressive product range to all its customers. This led to an export offer to the United States and in 1977 SIP supplied its first consignment of municipal castings to the US . Since then, with the energy and foresight of the founder’s two sons and the present executives, SIP has consolidated its presence in the overseas market. Ensuring Customer satisfaction is our credo at SIP. Even after 29 years, we still proudly serve our first customer in the United States with the same loyalty as before.

With the company growing through the 90’s, and building a highly respectable list of customers overseas, the need was felt to expand beyond the corporate office in Calcutta and set up operations in the United States. This led to the genesis of the US branch of the parent company in 1996. A year later, the company added another feather to its cap, by commencing its warehouse operations in Houston , USA . While most of our products are produced in our own foundry, to give our customers a more varied choice, we also import municipal castings and pipe fittings from other foundries in India and China . In its nascent stage at the moment, the US office is poised to expand its network further with the continued focus of the company towards the highest quality, customer loyalty and a more varied product portfolio.

SIP Industries today, is a manufacturer, exporter, importer as well as distributor for its impressive range of municipal castings. This unique feature enables us to have the most competitive prices, quicker delivery and complete control over our products which is our strongest assurance for product quality. Founded on the principles of strong business ethics and zero tolerance for dishonesty, SIP Industries guarantees quality to its customers. Our manufacturing facility has a production capacity of in excess of 2500 tons a month, with the flexibility of casting a variety of products, right from a couple of ounces to a few tons. Thus, we efficiently cater to our customers’ quality and quantity needs. With the added flexibility, we are also capable of offering customized products to our customers under a lead time of 90 days.

 Living the tradition
Today, the strong family tradition lives on, as SIP Industries is proud to welcome the third generation of the family into its fold. Youth brings with itself energy and vigor, and SIP is certain that with their enthusiasm will carry the vision of their grandfather to great heights.

As SIP Industries celebrates its tenth year of presence in the United States , we are proud to announce that we have moved to a new location, with a warehouse capacity of 110,000 sq. feet. We are thankful to all our customers for their business, and do hope that this would help us serve them faster and better!
