RAW MATERIAL TRACEABILITY

We do not change our raw material suppliers and all of them have been associated with us for over 10 years.

We do not change the Origin of raw materials so this ensures a stable & consistent quality of production.

“Raw-to-WetBlue” as well as “Raw-to-Veg” processes are laid down by us and we have constant checks to see that it is being followed.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

is given great importance at Arkay and we have constant dialogues with senior representatives from European chemical companies to keep ourselves updated on new processes.

An associate company in Italy helps us with inputs on trends & forecasts in colours for the season as well as optics and textures in fashion.
We present FOUR collections a year to bring researched and updated trends to our customers more closer to the season.

And in keeping with our tag-line “In Touch With The Future” we have recently introduced range of articles with less Chrome content, as we believe that is what most brands will be looking for in the not too distant future. This will also help in our processes becoming more “Green” to support better environmental management here in India.
