Containers

The containers are made of PP copolymer which possesses excellent impact and other physical properties. The cover design is uncomplicated with easy to maintain top venting systems. In the case of maintenance free batteries, they have a coin flush filter vent system to give a clean flat maintainable surface with resistance to spark propagation inside battery to avoid the possibility of bursting during charging operations.

Raising the Bar

SF Sonics quality and process control laboratory checks all incoming metals, components and bought out parts. Incoming and blended metals are analysed for quality with optical emission spectrograph. Whats more, the SF Sonic R&D setup, approved by the Ministry of Science Technology Government of India, is a high-tech hub of innovation.

The plant at Taloja, is equipped with state-of-art machinery and instrumentation. Many such equipment have been designed and roduced with in-house capibilities, saving crores in foreign exchange. Operations are also conducted on machines developed with the know-how of Furukawa Battery Company, Japan.

The plant takes credit for inning several laurels :

bullet   The Bajaj Gold Award for Quality

bullet   ISO 9000 certification, for the first time in Asia

bullet   TS 16949 certification by TUV NORD in 2004

bullet   ISO 14000 certification by TUV NORD in 2003

bullet   The Quality Gold Award from MCV

So riding with Sonic simply signifies riding with innovation, and leaving everyone miles behind.
