A short history

Made in Craft.
Built for Brands.

SR Fab Tech began in 2018 with a single workshop in Thirumudivakkam and a single belief — that fine manufacturing and smart marketing belong under one roof. Most premium goods are made by craftspeople, then handed to agencies who don't know the material. We do both.

Today, our craftspeople ship to forty-two brand partners across twelve industries — airlines, hospitality groups, meal-prep brands, lifestyle labels — each one served by the same workshop floor and the same studio next door. One quote. One contract. One quarterly review.

No. 02 — Our values

Three commitments,
kept in writing.

Every partnership signs against these three. If we fall short, it's on us — replacement run, re-shoot, re-launch. No clauses for our benefit.

01
— Manufacturing

Quality Without
Compromise.

Every lid is inspected by hand. Every lacquer batch is cured to depth and tested for food safety. We refuse to ship a unit we wouldn't gift ourselves.

Defect tolerance: 0.05%. Trailing twelve months: 0.02%.
02
— Marketing

Brand-First
Thinking.

Your brand book sits on the workshop bench, not in a folder. We design the box to disappear behind your wordmark — never the other way around.

Color tolerance: ΔE < 1.5. Signed off on every batch.
03
— Partnership

End-to-End
Ownership.

From brief to second order. We carry the manufacturing risk, the photography schedule, and the launch calendar — so your team doesn't.

One contract, one invoice, one named partnerships lead.

We measure success in service hours, not units — a bento should outlast the meal that fills it, and very often the kitchen that orders it.

No. 03 — The desk

Who you'll work with.

A small team, with the bench close to the desk. The same three names answer your email, walk your factory tour, and approve your final lot.
