The JV between RMCL and Hako established its own research and development (R&D) centre with a view to adapt the collaborator’s technology to suit the Indian conditions. “The objective was to develop our own cleaning equipment to expand the product range. The first such product was a multifibre flat mop suited for high speed sweeping and moping,” informed Bhavsar.Wizzard dubbed as the ‘washing machine for floors’ because of its versatility is the flagship product of the RMCL and was entirely designed and developed in-house, he adds.
