The products have been designed with a special focus on quality and durability. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) used in manufacturing Plumtek products is a special material that optimises performance in terms of weatherability, heat stability and ductility. Unlike conventional plumbing products, Plumtek can be chosen from a vibrant colour palette. Since Plumtek products are entirely leak proof, the wastage of water can also be eliminated.

Moreover, Plumtek is an affordable plumbing solution that has a huge market potential.”
