Flowcrete India announced the opening of its third office, which is based in the major construction hub of Delhi. The new office will provide increased support to the company?s North India business to continue the rapid growth it has been enjoying in the region.

The facility will be headed by Iqbal Afroz, Sales Manager for North India, under the direct management of Srinivasan Venkataraman, National Sales Manager of Flowcrete India. Having an office presence in Delhi brings the company closer to the vast swathes of applicators and consultants in the region and also means that Flowcrete is now better placed to compete for major projects in the Northern region of the country.

Flowcrete India also plans to open a regional warehouse solely for North India with administrative support provided by the Delhi office, giving the company a further competitive advantage over its rivals. The company hopes that the new office facility in Delhi will enable it to take advantage of further growth opportunities in the region and ensure a prosperous future for the company.
