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

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.

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

them faster and better!
