Findings The company has low brand awareness due to
very less advertisement.
Almost everyone wants to deal with supreme for that the co. needs to set competitive price.
Most of the respondents expect quality, low price and availability of products.
Dealers usually recommend any brand because of good margin and long credit period.
Contd… There is huge untapped market for supreme
industries especially in PPRC and CPVC Pipes as very few dealers are involved in these pipes.
The market’s biggest Player is Finolex.
Supreme pipes are demanded by customers who are more concerned about quality than price.
Conclusion
The quality of supreme is very good.
The finolex is the biggest competitor of the company.
There is a huge growth chance for the company.
Company has to increase the availability of it’s products in the region.
Suggestions
The company should advertise more to make its product aware to the people.
The company should concentrate on decreasing the cost of pipes with same quality.
The company should improve it’s supply chain management.
