Gala Brush Ltd. has been associated with cleanliness since 1986. It was a modest start by two young entrepreneur brothers Chandrakant Gala and Mayur Gala. They learnt the ropes of business from their father late Lalji Gala, who ran a trading and manufacturing firm in Mumbai since 1949, mainly dealing in traditional cleaning aids like grass brooms.
Gala Brush Industries was formed in 1986 with a view to produce modern cleaning tools. “Having worked in the father’s business for 13 years, I saw a need for the cleaning tools industry to change from the age-old products to swanky, innovative and user friendly products”, says Chandrakant Gala, Founder and Managing Director of the Company. To bring about this change, they decided to manufacture the modern cleaning tools themselves and serve the market. Gala imported machinery from Germany to begin production. The initial brushes to be manufactured were for body wash, dish wash and cloth wash applications.

So, what is it that the company is doing to get closer to the vision everyday?
र 2000 crores. Gala had no direct presence in this market until a few years back. Clean India Pulire 2007 was the platform that Gala used to announce its entry into the Professional Cleaning tools market.” says Sanket Gala, Director of Professional Cleaning tools division in Gala.
About the future plans Sanket continues, “We do understand that Gala as a cleaning tools manufacturer, is late in its entry into the professional cleaning tools market in India but, we have been exporting these same products since the inception of the company. Let me share an interesting fact with you here; the municipal corporation in Dubai uses street brushes manufactured by Gala in our plants in Asangaon, Maharashtra. If we continue to deliver the goods and services to our customers as we have done in the household cleaning market, it will just be a matter of time when Gala becomes synonymous with cleaning and hygiene.”
