Manufacturing Infrastructure & Strategic Partnership
Eureka Forbes’ manufacturing model combines in-house capabilities with strategic contract manufacturing partnerships, enabling the Company to scale capacity without disproportionate fixed-cost additions. The Company operates two manufacturing facilities in Dehradun and Bengaluru.
Eureka Forbes further strengthened its innovation capabilities during FY26 with the commissioning of its new R&D Centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka, aimed at accelerating the development of smart, technology-driven solutions across water purification, robotics, and air purification categories.
In July 2025, the Company entered into a strategic manufacturing partnership for assembly, manufacture, and supply of robotic vacuum cleaners. This partnership strengthens Eureka Forbes’ position in the vacuum cleaner sector and supports the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Quality remains a cornerstone of the Company’s manufacturing and operational excellence agenda. Guided by a customer-centric approach, the Company focuses on delivering superior product performance and service excellence across every stage of the value chain, from sourcing and production to delivery and after-sales support.
The quality management framework is anchored in robust systems, standardised processes, and a culture of continuous improvement.
The Company continues to strengthen its quality ecosystem through end-to-end digitalisation and automation. Advanced monitoring systems, enhanced traceability, and real-time quality controls improve process visibility, accelerate issue resolution, and support proactive decision-making. These capabilities are complemented by cross-functional collaboration, ensuring that quality remains a shared responsibility across manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, and customer-facing teams.
Supplier quality is another critical pillar of the Company’s quality strategy. Through rigorous governance mechanisms, structured audits, and close supplier partnerships, the Company works to ensure adherence to stringent quality standards across its supply network, thereby enhancing reliability and consistency.
Underpinning these initiatives is a strong culture of continuous improvement. Through Kaizen-led programmes, capability-building initiatives, and employee engagement, the Company fosters a mindset of quality ownership and operational excellence, supporting sustainable improvements in performance and customer satisfaction.

Advancing Productivity through Continuous Improvement and Automation
The Company’s manufacturing productivity is driven by a robust Single Resource Productivity (SRP) framework, underpinned by a standardised conversion model and master benchmarks that enable consistent performance measurement across products and manufacturing locations.
A disciplined, Kaizen-led continuous improvement approach delivered significant improvement in the Productivity Index during FY26. The resulting gains enhanced output per employee, reduced labour cost per unit and optimised manpower deployment, strengthening overall cost competitiveness.
These improvements were further supported by the adoption of Lean and 5S practices, alongside targeted automation initiatives. Smart manufacturing interventions, including collaborative robots (cobots) at packing stations and digital Andon systems, enhanced operational efficiency and responsiveness, creating a scalable and future-ready productivity model.

Building a Resilient & Agile Supply Chain
The Company strengthened supply chain resilience through a robust localised supplier ecosystem and an agile, demand-responsive operating model. Supported by rolling three-month planning cycles and strategic inventory management, the Company maintained operational continuity while enhancing responsiveness to evolving market requirements.
A strong backend supply network, complemented by in-house production of critical components, such as filters and membranes, strengthened reliability and operational control. This integrated approach, together with flexible sourcing and manufacturing capabilities, enabled the Company to respond swiftly to demand fluctuations, including short-notice surges, ensuring uninterrupted operations and consistent customer service.
