Decent Laminates Private Limited

A young and dynamic commerce graduate from H.L. Commerce of College Ahmedabad Mr.D.B. Patel ventured into the woods of Assam with a dream in his eyes. Wandering into the woods of Assam and venturing into the lush green tea plantations he tumbled upon an idea of setting up 'Packing Wood' industries to cater to the tea plantations. Thus Himalayan Plywood industries Limited was born in1951. That humble beginning went on catering to the tea industries for the next 15 years without much variation when 'Commercial' plywood started knocking the doors of industries. More and more stringent regulations against cutting of trees made it necessary to look beyond wood. Gradually commercial plywood was replacing the age-old wood. In the year 1980 the Government of Gujarat started thinking in newer directions to rapidly industrialize the state. And thus was born 'Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) and invited industrialists to set up their industries in the state. The government attracted private entrepreneurs with infrastructure and incentives. It worked wonders. GIDC offered opportunities for Mr. D.B. Patel to set up some business in the backyard of his native village only 40 kms from Ahmedabad. Soon Decent Laminates Pvt Ltd. was established. It ventured into commercial plywood in the year 1985. The year also saw Mr. Patel's eldest son Mr. Prakash Patel taking over the mantle of the industry. In some other sons Mr. Mukund Patel and Mr. Navneet Patel to lend their support in marketing and other administrative skills. With time a major expansion saw the industry producing various kinds of laminate sheets. A variety of Laminates ranging from 0.5mm to 40.00mm thickness with size of 2440 mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft) and attractive designs in Glossy Matt Suede finish; and services domestic office establishments industrial needs and so on.
