own products like tubes, poles, scaffoldings, PVC

pipes. Skipper almost manufactures inputs for 4 of

its 5 principal finished products (almost 80% of the

raw materials required) in-house. The in-house

control immensely helps the company in simplifying

time, in swifter decision making and in easier

delivery. It also reduces an unhealthy dependence

on external sources for input supplies. The company

on the other hand is entirely responsible and

accountable for sourcing of quality and eco-friendly

inputs on a more conscious footing.
