“Nepal imports around 200 tons of vinyl flooring products every month. We are now manufacturing these products in our plant in Hetauda Industrial Area,” Vikas Kothari, managing director of Everest Vinyl, said at a press conference on Monday.
The company´s product range includes normal PVC flooring, stud flooring and anti-static flooring; PVC film sheets used to make rain coats, shower curtains and table clothes; PP spunbond non-woven fabric used for ´environment friendly´ shopping bags; synthetic leather and coated fabrics or Rexine used in shoes, footballs, mats and purses.
“Our products are the same quality as ones used by Mercedes and Chrysler in their car upholstery,” Kothari said.
Rajesh Kazi Shrestha of Rajesh Concern said the products, which are 3 mm to 40mm thick, were also tear-proof and would not be damaged even by sharp objects like knives. “The flooring products are better than a lot of the imports now available in the market,” he added.
