Bangalore, August 04, 2014: Freudenberg Gala Household Product, a leading supplier of mechanical cleaning products in India, developed a solution for the Indian market that is ready to use from the beginning; a broom made of recycled fibers which are similar to the natural grass. The designers followed the bionics principle when developing a new broom for the Indian market and designed synthetic components that copy the performance of natural grass brooms, but with further developed features. With the introduction of the revolutionary ‘NO DUST’ broom the company continues to launch innovative products.
The ‘NO DUST’ broom from Freudenberg Gala Household Product is made of specially engineered ‘grass-like fibers’. This mechanical cleaning product delivers an improved cleaning performance as current grass brooms in the market: It lasts three times as long as an ordinary grass broom is washable and is ergonomically designed. It recreates the effect of a grass bundle with a finely branched exterior and a firm but flexible core. The innovation is an outcome of diligent research by a team of proficient experts; it demonstrates a successful cooperation of Indian market expertise, German engineering and Italian broom making know-how.
The Gala ‘NO DUST’ broom is manufactured in a state-of-the-art production plant of Freudenberg Gala Household Product in Adas, Gujarat. Mr. Jatin Gala, Chief Operating Officer and Member of the Board of Freudenberg Gala Household Product Pvt. Ltd, opines “the ‘NO DUST’ broom is a significant innovation in the grass broom segment and it’s an innovative product which the Indian market would long for. The product is already well accepted nationwide in India”. The product is available nationwide across all leading outlets and general kirana stores at a reasonable price.
More than 250 million households in India use brooms made of natural grass to sweep floors. Each household uses 3.3 brooms per year. These brooms tend to lose grass seeds, causing fine particles itself.
