Hygiene of the work environment and work wear is extremely important in the healthcare and pharma sectors. How does Lindstrom help ensure utmost hygiene?
As a business house, Lindstrom is completing 170 years of its existence next year. As for our operations in India, we started it in 2007 and our first unit was in Chennai. In India, we concentrate on two segments: one is pharma and other one is the food sector. We have our presence in 11 states which includes pharma industrial hubs of India like Baddi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Visakhapatanam. We have our facility in Assam as many pharma and FMCG companies are investing in the state. This is one segment where the hygiene levels are very critical and the standards of work wear are clearly compiled; there are lot of standards that exist. There are USFDA, MHRA audits so all the clients are subjected to some kind of external audits to some sort of external audits. So, a work wear company like Lindstrom has a huge role to play, 35 per cent of our business today is from the pharma sector. As far as health is concerned, it has two parts, one is the hospitals and the other is healthcare centres like clinics, diagnostic centres. As of now, our activities in the healthcare sector is focused on clinics and diagnostics, we are not formally getting down to the larger hospital chains as it needs a lot of compliance activities.
How important is the pharma sector for you?
