This fully automated plant will ensure ready availability and competitive costing of the materials. This is a reiteration of our purpose and commitment of supplying products pan-India in a cost effective manner.

"Starting with a capacity of 4000 MTPA, this unit will propel Skipper Limited gradually to become one of the leading PVC pipe manufacturers in the region and ensure the supply of quality PVC products to the North East.
