Responsible production
Introducing our factory, H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons
Our factory is the beating heart of our operations, where our products with purpose are being manufactured. H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons (HSNDS) adheres to sustainable business standards and fully controls the entire product development process, from manufacturing through to final delivery. We offer jobs with dignity and the factory uses the latest technology to manufacture ranges of products that meet the highest technical standards of international aid agencies.
We manufacture what we sell
We manufacture what we sell and are a one-stop-shop for frequently procured non-food-items in humanitarian responses. We manufacture a full range of family tents and core relief items, such as tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats, winterization kits, and water containers for the humanitarian and development sectors. We also produce multipurpose tents and mobile storage units for medical, educational, logistic and management support use, as well as solar lights. We ensure that our emergency stockpiles are available at all times to immediately respond to client demands and humanitarian crises.
‘From Me To You’ – watch our factory video
Take a look at our our latest factory video which takes a more personal approach on how “we manufacture what we sell.” This concept supports our vision of creating better lives for those who use our relief products, but at the same time, the people who make them. Let us show you our factory and our product line through the eyes of our staff:
Recent factory upgrades
Our factory is spread out over three manufacturing sites, covering a space of 28 football pitches (50 acres) that hosts various specialized production units. Recent upgrades have modernized our manufacturing facilities significantly, offering safe, clean and comfortable work spaces and communal facilities, such as a canteen and prayer areas.
Compliance and quality
Our dedicated quality team conducts ongoing audits and implements new procedures to optimize product performance and meet new standards. We apply the latest production technologies to manufacture products that are 100% compliant with the highest standards required by our clients. All our products are manufactured in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. This helps to retain skilled workers, nurture our reputation within the community, and promotes sustainable practices in our day-to-day business.
Zero-waste policy
As part of this approach, we strive to continuously reduce waste and our environmental footprint. We do this by recycling surplus plastic into accessories and packaging items, and repurporsing our fabric offcuts into circular economy initiatives, such as the #PeaceDoves and #TentTotes upcycling projects.
