Our research and development effort underscores our overall quality consciousness and aims at establishing a technological leadership for our products and solutions in the market. Working in sync with our operations and customers, the R&D group ensures that they have their finger on the market pulse. The key to successful research lies in our research wing that is equipped with state of the art equipment such as XRD, XRF, HMOR, RUL, Creep and PLC machines imported from Germany and a host of other indigenous equipment. Pilot scale trials supplement core research through simulated manufacturing runs and evaluation of new and existing products in real conditions. The emphasis is to search for alternative solutions in the lab and scale up the results in the shortest possible time to commercially viable products. Maithan also co-operates with external agencies such as the Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute in the areas of fundamental research and new product development.

Sustainable research has paid rich dividends in the form of path breaking products, which have proven their mettle commercially and have replaced expensive imports in the Indian market..
