Fiji's trend setter

BA Industries Ltd (BIL) commenced its operation in 1974. BIL is solely owned by Fiji nationals. Vinod Patel is the chairman and Arvin Patel and Umakant Patel are the other directors.

BlL’s products are marketed under the brand-name of “Reliable”. BIL is actively involved in the manufacture and supply of: galvanised and PVC chain link fence, weld ed mesh, standard and high tensile barbed wires, plain reinforcing rods, dampcourse, bright nails and galvanised nails. BIL is the only manufacturer in Fiji which is having its own production facilities for drawing thinner wires. BlL’s chain link fences are manufac tured on completely automatic Japanese machines.

BIL is enjoying the largest market share in Fiji and has emerged as a major exporter of the wire/fence products and hardware items to the Pacific Islands. It is BlL’s poli cy to provide the customers with reliable quality products and services for all the time to come. In the past two decades BIL has grown and prospered steadily by satis fying the customers with its reliable prod ucts and services. In 1993, BIL set the trend by winning the consultancy contract

for Nail Making Project in Kiribati through the Forum Secretariat. BIL successfully installed and commissioned the project in Tarawa in record time. Today, more than 45 per cent of BlL’s products are being export ed to the Pacific Islands against stiff global competition. This performance has led BIL to win the FTIB Exporter of the Year Award in 1993 and 1994.

BIL is Fiji’s first locally-owned engineer ing company to be accredited with ISO 9002 certification for the manufacture of barbed wire, chain link fence, welded mesh, and bright and galvanised nails.

Quality has been made the way of life at BIL. The management continuously aims at improvement and innovation. For building in quality at every stage, all employees are imparted continuing training inhouse as well as by reputed organisation like SGS and FNTC.

With its quality system accreditation, BIL plans to penetrate the niche market in the developed countries and thus bring repute to Fiji. BIL believes that by delivering for customers (domestic and overseas) with reliable products and services, we will prosper and keep Fiji working.
