Mr Narendra Jain founded Super Iron Foundry (SIF) in 1977 after his modest beginning as a steel trader. He built the foundry right from the scratch and what is commendable is that he did this with very minimal resources.
For him nothing was impossible and no dream was too big. He exemplified his strong will power and determination by working against all odds. With no formal technical knowhow and only with his immense hands on experience in the foundry he had built SIF as one of the largest manufacturer and exporter of municipal and waterworks castings from India.
Till date his principles guide us and we at SIF make relentless efforts to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction and to continuously improve our efficiency with optimal utilization of resources and embracing the latest technology available. Carrying his legacy we dare to dream big and continuously set daunting targets only to achieve and dream further.
Mr Jain believed in all round development of the society and greatly contributed to the society by contributing to children’s education and other charitable activities. We at SIF still champion the idea of “education for all” and actively participate in giving back to the community in more ways than one.
"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."
