The HJS GROUP OF COMPANIES was launched in 1953 with the pioneering efforts of MR. Hajee Jaffer Shariff , who had previously traded in silk waste in his individual capacity. His son , Nisar Pasha being a chartered accountant by profession took over the business as the managing director and expanded the business which is managed by Ahmed Pasha since 1995. In the year 1977 , the diversification programme included the export of rough blocks to Japan and a few European countries. Owing to success in the venture , we own Premium Black granite quarries , since ,1975. The conglomerate is armed with over two decades of experience in quarrying and own quarries in various parts of South India and are pioneers in Black quarries. To measure up to increasing demand in international markets , expansion measures in 1985 saw stone cutting and polishing units being set-up in a factory in Madapura Village of Ramnagaram taluk, the factory being well equipped with Italian Technology. The manufacturing unit has a capacity of 60,000 sq.m
The natural finish is basically the absence of treatment. The stone is sold as extracted from the quarry, once cut into the desired format.
Stones are polished by repeated application of abrasive treatments. This technique produces a shiny surface, with almost zero porosity, while improving resistance.
A leather finish is obtained by a process of brushing the slab with a range of brushes. The result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch.
By applying blowtorch-strength heat to the surface of the stone. This causes the surface to melt and some of the crystals to shatter, leaving a highly textured surface which is ideal for exterior paving or wet areas where optimum non-sliperiness is required.
