New Delhi (India), April 22: Sloan Valve Company, the forefront leader in plumbing solutions since 1906, launched its flagship facility in Gurugram recently through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sloan India Private Limited. Sloan’s first experience center in India was inaugurated by Graham Allen, President & CEO, Sloan Valve Company, US. This milestone marks Sloan’s commitment in India to provide advanced and sustainable restroom solutions to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.
Sloan’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its LEED certified building, characterised by abundant natural light and indoor greenery. Vertical gardens and communal spaces create a thriving indoor environment, supported by a robust system. The four-story layout is carefully arranged, with storage, parking, and services on the ground floor, manufacturing facilities and a quality control lab on the first floor, and an experience center and corporate office on the second floor. A central staircase, adorned with design elements, traces Sloan’s journey through history as visitors ascend. Natural materials like wood, leather, brass, and veneer infuse a modern aesthetic throughout the office space. Additionally, each floor features themed conference rooms and washrooms inspired by Sloan’s product range, offering diverse experiences.
Discussing the plumbing industry in India and potential best practices from the US, Graham Allen, President & CEO, Sloan Valve Company said, “India’s plumbing industry is commendable, particularly its use of grey water for toilets, a practice rarely seen outside of Singapore and the US. A best practice from the US that India should adopt is implementing a universal standard for durable, water-efficient plumbing products across all sectors. Given the critical importance of fresh water, especially amidst rapid urbanisation, adopting strict water efficiency standards like those in the US is imperative. Additionally, in the commercial market, where high usage and rough handling are common, prioritising durability and vandal resistance is key. It’s crucial for this market to recognise manufacturers like us who give more importance to total cost of ownership over initial capital costs.”
