About us
Gandhi Group is manufacturing automobile components since 1959. The products are marketed all over India and
are also exported all over the world including Germany, UK, S outh East Asian countries etc.
Gandhi Special Tubes Ltd. formerly known as GANDHI SPECIAL 07 TUBES LTD . was a project set up by Gandhi
Group. The project was for manufacturing small diameter welded and cold drawn seamless steel tubes. All the
critical equipment were imported from Germany. The plant situated at Gujarat, started commercial production in April
1988.
Gandhi Special Tubes Ltd. is also manufacturing Cold Formed Tube Nuts for Fuel Injection Tube Assemblies ,
Hydraulic & other Tube Assemblies . This was a pioneering effort in India as hitherto tube nuts were being
manufactured by machining.
The organization has given due importance to developing reliable quality systems. Company's quality system has
been certified as per ISO/TS 16949 : 2009 as well as ISO 9001: 2008 by M/S TUV. The organization's philosophy is
to aim at continuous growth by giving priority to customer satisfaction through assured product quality and use of
state of art technology.
