In celebration of two decades of excellence, this October 2024, Strata Global team looks back at the landmarks in its history.
As a symbol of the first step in this continued journey, Strata Global, was established on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra in 2004, by Ashok Bhagnani. With a vision of being one of India’s foremost geosynthetic manufacturers, and a focus on a sustainable future in civil engineering, Strata Global’s early days were defined by this approach.
Started in 2004, as a partnership with the US based Strata Systems, Inc., USA. Over a short span of 5 years, in 2009, we started manufacturing our own line of geogrid products which includes core categories of uniaxial and biaxial geogrids.
In 2012, a short three years later, we launched our proprietary product line for geocells or 3D cellular confinement systems –in the name of StrataWeb. Today, it’s a well-loved and used product around the world for a suite of applications. With a high weld-strength, and high weld strength with maximum consistency, its stability for slope retention and drain lining is industry leading in standard. This product delivers over 5,000 hours of ESCR (Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance), beating global standards and making it a one-of-a-kind offering from the company.
With the end of this decade, Strata Global’s team decided to further expand its capabilities with the launch of the 3,20,000 lakhs Sq.Mt. manufacturing capacity, in Daheli, Gujarat. With a view to fulfilling the growing demand for high quality, certified products for geotechnical engineering, Strata Global’s products have found buyers and associates, around different parts of the globe.
In 2022, the company once again expanded its manufacturing capabilities to 6.5 million sq. meters and also introduced StrataTex HSR™ & StrataDrain™ to meet with a growing consumer base of geotextile, and geocomposite project needs.
In 2023, Strata Global received a patent on its StrataWall™ EC ( a state-of-the-art panel wall system for reinforcing walls) and StrataBlock™ 2E system (a modular precast concrete block which are self-aligning), revolutionizing the on-site precast concrete block construction for civil construction projects. Today, a project can get their pre-cast concrete blocks customized and have them installed onsite with ease, are extremely lightweight and suitable for extremely large construction projects on highways, and roads.
In 2024, we launched Stratosphere, our 3D interactive maps for the civil construction community, aimed at helping engineers understand the uses of geotechnical products and their uses across 4 industries, and 80 applications.
With every decade, the Strata Global team has evolved its products and offerings to not only meet with global standards of excellence but also delivered products and systems that meet the demands of an evolving civil engineering community.
With a standard of product that has been wetted and accredited, today our products are ISO certified –9001, 140001, 45001. These certificates are a testament to our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction through years of meticulous testing and developing our own rigorous quality standards. In addition to these standards, Strata Global is also certified by the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute -Laboratory Accreditation Program, and National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
When you work with Strata Global’s products, not only do you choose high quality, certified and safe products but you also work with some of the world’s patented products in its finest form. If you would like a sample from the best geocell manufacturer in India, please reach out to us. With a distributor network that takes our products and services to over 40 countries around the world, you’re always close to experiencing a Strata Global product first hand.
With a clear focus on innovation with sustainability, apart from being a proud recipient of global certifications, Strata Global also has the privilege and proven track record of many firsts in the country. Strata Global has received numerous awards and endorsements from CE, BBA, NTPEP, EPD, ISI and NZTA among others. While the team themselves contribute to the community in direct ways through memberships across key groups, the company has the distinction of being:
In keeping with the demands from the market, we also launched accessories for StrataWeb such as StrataLock, StrataFast, and StrataCord –with the goal of offering a one-stop solution for our premiere product, StrataWeb.
At Strata Global, our driving motto is rooted in three cultural values: impeccable manufacturing, dedication to design, and construction par excellence.
Without the laser focus on manufacturing of the highest quality, we cannot bring to the world and its infrastructure high quality products. Therefore, our plants not only have the most cutting edge technology, but uses its own products on the plant floor as a proof of our faith in our own product. Having created industry leading products, and benchmarks for geogrids (industry leading elongation and stress strain values), we believe good design is at the core of a good product. That’s why we place special emphasis on the need for a strong team of designers who not just work with our customers to design different systems but also advise on the right mix of products for each and every single application.
In line with the need of technology in the right place, our design team works with cutting edge softwares and comprises geotechnical specialists who partner with clients, from day 1.
In our two decades of existence, Strata Global has partnered with companies across 500+ sites and projects, making it one of the leading authorities in the geotechnical engineering space.
As a nod to this landmark moment, Strata Global’s offices having presence across US and Spain too, celebrated the event in India office.
Today, the company is comprised of engineers across levels, who not only speak to our clients and customers but most importantly understand the minute details of every single project, and offer end to end design, consulting, manufacturing and implementation services for every single project we undertake. Whether it’s landfill, mining, roadways, or water management –our products work across a wide range of applications. As we enter the new decade of existence, the vision of being a sustainable company that listens to its customers is renewed. We continue to build and manufacture from India –to the world.
