Products portfolio

The product portfolio of ILLUMINATI consists of a diverse range of fabric frame systems. “Our aesthetically crafted aluminium profiles are manufactured with 6063 T6 grade aluminium with anodizing of 18 micron grades spot colours, ranging from 16mm to 200mm thick profiles for various applications,” explains Amit, adding that the accessories which ILLUMINATI chooses are made of hardened metals with stainless steel chrome finish L-Key Method.

LEDs used in the ILLUMINATI fabric + frame systems are specially designed and manufactured for integrating with the profiles as illumination can spread out on edges of signage. The fabrics are 100 percent polyester imported from Germany and printed on dye-sublimation printing platform, producing photo realistic clarity and natural colours. “Our fabric prints can be easily folded and shipped to places in small boxes, as small as pizza boxes,” asserts Amit.

ILLUMINATI’s printed textiles are sewn with silicon beads to its edges which fit under tension into a frame. “This product has taken the display world by storm,” says Amit, adding, “Graphics these days are no longer to be rigid; heavy transported on pallets are difficult to change; this is why we have invested in most accurate machines and hired a team of specialists to produce unconventional products.”

Clients & projects

ILLUMINATI has roped in a network of regular customers who are primarily major fashion retailers, exhibition companies, corporate events, architects and many others. Referring to the way they execute some landmark projects, Amit says “It’s our commitment that helps us to move ahead.” He adds that ILLUMINATI receives orders from all over pan- India, sometimes from the offshore destinations, such as UAE.

There are certain factors that make ILLUMINATI products different from others, their clients always remain satisfied and they come for repeat orders. “Our products require no after- sale service. People can easily identify out products amid the crowd. In addition to that, since we are related to a Dutch company, we maintain certain ethics, standards with a state-of-the-art facility and well-trained team. We never compromise in quality,” says Amit.

About ILLUMINATI’s future development, Amit says they are putting plans in place for expanding the space of their production setup, strengthening manpower and enhancing product portfolio, with which they can handle bigger volume of orders from all over the country.
