This document summarizes an assessment of Lombards Pvt Ltd in Vapi, Gujarat. The company has the ability to meet the needs of the Western and Southern Indian markets with its existing setup. However, to cater to the growing market within this territory and beyond, it needs to scale up operations by upgrading equipment to increase production rates and enhance efficiency to make products more price competitive. Recommendations include improving the heating system, updating machinery to CNC operations, and constantly updating bathtub product lines as international designs change yearly.
