It's not about what. It's about where and who.

The level we have reached necessitates a large range of suppliers. To meet the various needs of our operations, we have established strong connections with every entity in every stage of the industry, (mines to market) and have forged relationships with trustworthy suppliers to enable us to fulfil any specific demands in the most stringent timelines.

While we select our suppliers based on their ability to cater to our levels of quality and standards of precision and accuracy, we also ensure that we work only with responsible entities, those who abide by the letter and the spirit of the law.

For us, quality isn't just about the product we receive, it is about the manner in which it was conceived as well.

To achieve the levels of quality and to maintain the standards we are known for often requires us to work with niche product and service providers. Our systems also sometimes require us to rope in people and companies with special abilities or unique offerings.

These Ancillary entities help us with unique or special requirements and also help us meet our own exacting internal standards.

As with everyone, these suppliers are hand-picked by us and we work extremely closely with this select circle, in traditional as well as unconventional ways, because, while our methodology may be flexible, our principles are rigid.
