We at Klassik, function as a team but also as a family. When it comes to running a large business with employees from various backgrounds and strata, we believe it is essential to find ways to create bonds that make working together a smooth and seamless process. Keeping our employees happy and satisfied is a big part of our company ethos and culture.

‍

Apart from the regular check-ins to ensure everything is running smoothly, we also host company events that help blow off steam and create a lively, healthy environment. However, these events or activities, as we call them, are not only aimed at leisure but have certain wellness aspects to them.  

‍

One of the activities, which we find extremely beneficial, is the Health Camp. Many people in India do not have easy access to quality healthcare. We want our employees to be healthy and happy as they work hard to make our brand what it is. A Health Camp is conducted on a yearly basis to identify any undetected health issues that our employees might be suffering from. Furthermore, we take proactive steps to ensure the treatment of any health concern, if detected. We want to work towards a healthier future and ensure our employees’ utmost comfort and well-being.

‍

Another event, which is popular amongst all employees, is the Cricket Tournament. Cricket is one of the most beloved sports in India and who doesn’t love some friendly competition to distract themselves from the stress of work with an enjoyable game. We host the Cricket Tournament twice a year - during Summer and Winter, which gives our employees something to look forward to as a much-needed break from their daily routines. This event is a big team-building activity in which more and more employees seem eager to participate. Apart from promoting teamwork, playing a sport is also a great way to build physical fitness, further boosting endurance and stamina.

‍

International Yoga Day is observed yearly on 21st June, and we at Klassik conduct a yoga session for our employees every year. Yoga is an activity that not only boosts physical health but also mental well-being. It is important for us to ensure that our employees are looked after physically and mentally. The yoga session aims to reduce mental stress, increase energy levels and improve physical fitness as well as flexibility. Healthy employees, as it turns out, are happy employees.  

‍

Getting our employees together to participate in activities other than work is a great way to create a positive work culture and environment. We take the health and wellness of our employees very seriously. Most people might not have access to medical attention or have time to take a break from daily routines with yoga sessions and cricket matches but we want to ensure they receive all the attention they need.

‍

While keeping all customers and clients happy is a major priority for any business, one must not forget about keeping the hardworking employees happy too.

Klassik has been successfully supplying PVC leathercloth and foam laminated textiles to automotive OEMs and the aftermarket for replacement seat covers since 2001. We have been doing so through direct supply as well as technical collaborations.

‍

Our journey in this industry has seen substantial growth over all these years.

‍

We started by producing for the local market, which is also known as the replacement market. The replacement market is where one would go to purchase new PVC Leatherseat covers or get new covers made in the occurrence of damage, needing a different color or other such instances.

‍

Starting from there, we gradually went on to supply to major automotive OEMs (or original equipment manufacturers). The growth has been fulfilling.

‍

As we grew further, we started supplying PVC Vinyl to major global brands for various automotive requirements. However, working with brands across the globe has been a completely different experience for us as a company. For starters, different countries require different variations - we supply PVC Vinyl to the USA. PVC leathercloth to the UK and PVC leather or Rexine to India. Then, getting approval from an automotive company is a long and technical process. It’s not only about successfully achieving the price target of the brand but we also need to get cleared by their styling and technical teams. We often work closely with the styling teams and engineering teams to match the approved grains and colors, as well as the stringent technical requirements of automotive interiors.

‍

Not only that, the requirements for these automotive brands are extremely extensive as their list includes specific features such as high strength, durability, stain resistance, anti-squeak, UV resistance, cold crack resistance, and Low VOC to name a few.

‍

As a company, we have global approval for some of the car models, and our material has to perform in all kinds of weather conditions and situations.

‍

To ensure that our products and our company meet all these needs successfully we have a focused production process. Our technical capabilities allow us to tick-mark every requirement that our clients have without any concern. We have invested in top-quality machines that allow us to make the product in various widths such as 140 cm, 150 cm and 158 cm, giving us an edge. We recently received the IATF 16949:2016 certification, which is specific to the automotive industry.

‍

We supply a wide range of PVC Vinyl, PVC Leathercloth and PVC leather products to automotive companies which include materials for automotive seats, interior and door trims, gearboxes, tool kit pouches or covers, along with hood toney covers or trunk covers.

‍

Apart from all the essential requirements we receive from our clients we also hugely focus on durability and style. A car is a very special possession for anyone and why shouldn’t it be every bit long-lasting and stylish? Your mode of transport should also be comfortable and the PVC leather ensures that the seats don’t get too hot unlike real leather or tear up like fabric and make your journey smooth. PVC leather is also easier to clean in comparison to the rest and hence, easier to maintain. Anything that lasts long is deemed as a good investment and for us, that is PVC leather or artificial leather products. And since many brands locally and globally are seeing a shift towards being sustainable and environmentally friendly, real leather is being used less and less, giving way to artificial leather or PVC leather.

Are you someone who is obsessed with home decor or are you a furniture designer looking for the best option for upholstery for interior decoration? Then you need to read this. When it comes to choosing material for upholstery, whether you’re looking at home renovation ideas or decorating your workspace or business, there are three main options - genuine leather, artificial leather or faux leather and fabric. The choice you make can depend on many factors like price, design preference, aesthetics, quality, durability and maintenance, to name a few.

‍

Now it might be hard to find something that will check off all the above points, but what if we told you it’s not? Artificial leather or faux leather or PVC leather cloth has it all! What we manufacture here at Klassik is more reasonable than genuine leather, it comes in many design and texture options that are versatile and will satisfy your aesthetic needs, they are high in quality and extremely durable and very easy to maintain. When you get it all, the decision to choose artificial leather becomes that much easier.

Artificial leather in general is less expensive than genuine leather but has the same rich look and feel that you would find in genuine leather. An important point to note is that artificial leather is durable and easy to maintain without the added cost of genuine leather. Another differentiator and characteristic of artificial leather is that it doesn’t wrinkle like genuine leather because it’s not made of animal skin. It’s machine-made and has a smooth touch and feel as compared to genuine leather.

‍

While fabric is the least expensive option out of all the three, it doesn’t last long and is not very easy to maintain. Fabrics can be easily stained and damaged, making them the wrong choice in the long run. Artificial leather is what we can call an affordable luxury product. One can argue that artificial leather or faux leather is also one of the more sustainable options as no animals are harmed during its production. People who follow a vegan lifestyle, and are environmentally conscious also prefer to choose artificial leather over genuine leather.

‍

The faux leather or artificial leather industry has seen major improvements and advances in terms of production, making it a preferred choice for many looking at home decor ideas and interior designing ideas. Artificial leather is no longer referred to as something that is “fake”. It’s a widely used option in today’s day and age.

‍

So when it’s about home furnishing and giving a modern look to your home, then artificial leather is the way to go. It’s the best way to invest in your home decor for years to come. From sofas and chairs to cushions and more - revamp your home interiors with the best that the market has to offer.
