Managing Director Srithai Superware Manufacturing Pvt Ltd
1 周I am using this post to comment on the pathetic services that is being offered by your partner in Ahmedabad. Our DG is down for the last 4 months and the partner just does not seem serious in resolving the issue and getting it up and working. Loosing precious production time when ever there is no power. Promises and promises all false. Really don't know who is going to resolve the issue.
