Managing Director Manish Patel elaborates on the perceived value of the SIFON brand of products, which has been successfully sustained over the years due to the company’s in-house manufacturing processes, stringent quality control, and focus on precision and durability.
What inspired you to set up a company dedicated to architectural hardware?
When we created SIFON in 2016, my vision was to build one of India’s most respected premium architectural hardware brands in zinc and brass, with designs and performance that could confidently stand on any global stage.
Our core objective has always been to design with precision and detail. We often draw inspiration from great architectural marvels and even vintage classic vehicles, because they represent timeless appeal—and that is exactly what we want our products to deliver in every home and project. At the same time, I am very particular about smooth functionality, long-term durability, and finishes that retain their richness for years, so that our customers experience both beauty and reliability in daily use.
What does your range of products include?
To meet the evolving expectations of modern homes and modular furniture, we have now added Tandem Slides for kitchens, which bring smoother, quieter movement and higher load-bearing performance, especially for premium kitchens and cabinetry.
We have also launched our own in-house manufactured Premium Furniture Locks, including Cupboard Locks, Drawer Locks, Side Sliding Locks, and Center Sliding Locks, so that the same design and quality language extends seamlessly from doors to furniture.
In the bath segment, we started with premium Bath Accessories in pure Brass across 10 exclusive designs and in various finishes. As bathrooms have become more design-centric, we have expanded this portfolio to include Bathroom Accessories in SS-304 and Brass combinations, new models and designs, and a complete ecosystem: Corner Shelves, Hooks in SS-304 and Brass, Mirror Cabinets, Grab Bars, and Shower Channel Drain Covers. This would allow architects, interior designers, and end-users to create coordinated, high-performance bathroom spaces from a single brand, with the confidence that every component matches in quality and finish.
Our wide range of products enable architects, interior designers, and homeowners to create coordinated, high-performance interior spaces with components that depict high quality and finish.

Please tell us about your manufacturing facility.
Almost all the processes are in-house — from product design and conceptualization to manufacturing, testing, and final packaging. This is so because we believe that true control over quality and consistency comes only when you control every stage of manufacturing. This approach, along with stringent quality checks at each step, is how we live our promise of being “Committed to Global Standards” in everything we produce.
What is your marketing strategy?
SIFON has always been positioned as an exclusive brand, and we are very selective about our channel partners and retail presence. We work with premium showrooms and exclusive outlets that understand and value high-end hardware, and we actively engage with architects, interior designers, and real estate developers through personal visits, presentations, and live demos to showcase our latest finishes, designs, and innovations.How is the company positioned today and what plans are in the pipeline to expand your product range and to further grow the company?
Over the years, we have grown strongly in all major urban and metro cities of India and expanded into markets like the US and Europe, and I see this as just the beginning of our journey towards 2031 and beyond.Going forward, we are in the process of developing Rim Locks that will soon be added to our range, further strengthening our position as a comprehensive, one-stop solution for premium architectural and furniture hardware.
Looking towards our 2031 vision, our goal is clear: to make SIFON the preferred name whenever people think of premium, design-led, globally benchmarked architectural and bath hardware, originating proudly from India.
We will continue investing in new product categories, advanced technology, and sustainable practices, while deepening our relationships with our channel partners and the design community, so that every SIFON product that enters a home, office, or project truly elevates the space and reflects our commitment to excellence.
