The company's roots can be traced back to 1973 when the founders, late Rasiklal Amritlal Raveshia and late Mansukhlal Jamnadas Rajani, established the Partnership Firm 'R.R. Industries' dedicated to manufacturing and selling pencils and crayons. In 2005, a subgroup of the promoters formed another Partnership Firm, 'S. Tech Industries,' focused on polymer-based scholastic stationery. To consolidate operations and achieve business integration, the company, then known as 'Writefine Products Private Limited,' acquired the businesses of these partnership firms.
In 2012, the company entered into a strategic partnership with FILA, an Italian multinational listed company specializing in art materials and stationery products. This collaboration facilitated access to global markets, enhanced R&D capabilities, and technology, leading to an expanded international presence, particularly in key American and European markets, and boosted the global distribution of the DOMS brand. Additionally, the company holds an exclusive agreement with select entities of the FILA Group for the distribution and marketing of their products across various countries.
Doms Industries is a comprehensive creative products company dominating India's stationery and art products market. Under the 'DOMS' brand, along with other sub-brands like 'C3,' 'Amariz,' and 'Fixyfix,' it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells a diverse range of products domestically and internationally, spanning over 40 countries as of March 31, 2023. Its product portfolio encompasses seven categories, catering to consumers' needs for well-designed and high-quality stationery and art materials.
Manufacturing operations are conducted at facilities in Umbergaon, Gujarat, and Bari Brahma, Jammu and Kashmir, with vertical integration spanning raw material procurement to finished product assembly. The company's domestic distribution network comprises over 100 super-stockists, 3,750 distributors, and a sales team of over 450 personnel, covering more than 115,000 retail touchpoints across 3,500 cities and towns.
