JTL Industries Limited ("JTL" or "The Company"), is a fast-growing dynamic steel tube manufacturing company which specializes in producing ERW Black Pipes, PreGalvanized and Galvanized Steel Pipes, large diameter tubes and pipes, and hollow structure.
JTL Industries proudly announces the successful production of its inaugural batch of 0.04 mm Brass Foil through a strategic job work partnership. This achievement signifies JTL's entry into the specialised market for ultra-thin brass foil, a sought-after material renowned for its low friction and corrosion-resistant qualities, applicable in various defence and industrial settings.
This production has been achieved through a strategic job-work model, enabling JTL to leverage specialised expertise and infrastructure to deliver premium-quality brass foil while maintaining cost efficiency and operational flexibility. By adopting this approach, JTL ensures scalability and consistent quality, aligning with its commitment to innovation and responsiveness to the market.
Applications and Market Significance
Brass foil in the 0.04 mm to 0.1 mm (40 to 100 microns) thickness range offers a combination of thinness and mechanical stability, making it ideal for precision applications. It is widely used across sectors that demand lightweight, high-precision, and corrosion-resistant materials.
The production of ultra-thin, precision-engineered 0.04 mm brass foil positions JTL to meet the rising demand for high-performance materials in these advanced sectors. With limited players operating in this niche, JTL's entry underscores its readiness to compete in specialised, high-value markets, driven by quality, innovation, and precision engineering.
Commenting on the above development, the management of the Company said: The successful production of our first batch of 0.04 mm brass foil through job work is a testament to JTL's relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. This strategic move not only diversifies our product offerings but also positions us in a high-demand, niche market with limited competition. By leveraging job work, we have ensured cost-effective production while maintaining the highest quality standards. This milestone reinforces our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers across industries such as automotive, defence, and engineering, while driving sustainable growth and strengthening our leadership in the metal manufacturing sector.
Strategic Expansion and Future Outlook
The production of precision-engineered brass foil bolsters JTL's long-term strategy to expand its value-added product (VAP) portfolio. With VAPs currently accounting for approximately 24% of the sales mix, the Company is striving to increase this contribution to over 50%, supported by innovations such as brass foil and the recent adoption of Direct Forming Technology (DFT).
Supported by a pan-India network of over 1,000 distributors and retailers, and an SKU base exceeding 1,500, JTL serves a wide range of sectors including construction, infrastructure, and engineering. With exports to more than 20 countries across five continents, the Company is wellpositioned to scale in high-margin, high-specification markets like brass foil, reinforcing its commitment to innovation-led growth and long-term value creation.
