KIE : Crafting Quality and Innovation

In 1928, visionary entrepreneur Mr. Brij Mohan Khandelwal, the son of a lawyer, foresaw the impending boom of the automobile industry and established a petroleum business in Agra. His foresight and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for what would become a legacy. By 1954, just seven years after India's independence, Mr. Khandelwal ventured into manufacturing, giving birth to an Automotive Product Company. Today, the vision of our esteemed founder has evolved into the KIE Group—a diverse, multi-locational organization with a broad product portfolio.

In 1975, Khandelwal Industrial Enterprises (KIE) expanded its horizons by launching a hardware division, marking the beginning of our journey in manufacturing builders' hardware.

Over the years, we have established a strong foothold in international markets, offering an extensive range of products, including mortise levers, cabinet hardware, door and window hardware, bath sets etc. Our products stand out in the global market, combining the timeless beauty of handcrafted designs with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies.

KIE is an ISO 9001:2008 Certified Company, proudly family-owned and managed by technocrats. We manufacture our products by utilizing following processes:

Forging > Casting > Die Castings > Stamping

We work with materials, including solid brass, aluminium, zinc, and stainless steel, as per our customer’s specifications with an unrelenting commitment to maintain quality standards.

Our products are protected with a high-quality baked lacquer, applied using the Electrophoretic Process. This coating ensures superior resistance against tarnishing and scratches, offering a 200% longer Salt Spray Life compared to conventional coatings. Additionally, our state-of-the-art automatic plating plant provides over 36 unique finishes, further enhancing the durability and appeal of our products.
