The Standard Group of Companies is a turnkey equipment solutions provider serving the pharmaceutical and API/bulk drugs, chemical, agrochemical, biotechnology, life science and food industries.
Headquartered in Hyderabad, India, and supported by a UK engineering, innovation and service centre, the Standard Group is a leading manufacturer of barrier isolators, glass-lined equipment, and Hastelloy and stainless steel process equipment, including dryers, filters, reactors, receivers, storage tanks and heat exchangers.
The Standard Group brings together two specialist engineering organisations: the Standard Engineering Technology Group and the Schematic Technology Group. Together, they provide extensive engineering, manufacturing and technology capabilities to customers worldwide.

At the Standard Group of Companies, we have always believed that sustained success is built on a simple foundation: exceptional people, outstanding engineering, uncompromising quality, and the courage to invest in the future. Today, I am immensely proud to say that this vision is becoming a reality on a scale that exceeds even our own expectations.
The Standard Group is experiencing one of the most exciting periods in its history. Following the successful floatation of Standard Engineering Technology Ltd. (SETL) in January 2025, we have accelerated our long-term investment strategy while continuing the rapid expansion of our sister organisation, the Schematic Technology Group. Together, these two groups represent a powerful combination of TURNKEY engineering excellence, innovation and manufacturing capability, positioning us as a leading partner for customers across the pharmaceutical, chemical, energy, nuclear, process and advanced manufacturing industries.
One of the clearest demonstrations of our commitment to the future is the significant investment being made in world-class manufacturing infrastructure. The SETL Group is progressing rapidly with the development of its 38-acre engineering campus, acquired in 2024, which will become home to a new generation of advanced manufacturing, engineering, automation and technology facilities.
At the same time, Reliability Engineering Industries (REI) and Schematic Engineering Industries (SEI), both part of the Schematic Technology Group, are undertaking the first phase of an ambitious 22-acre expansion programme (11 acres each). Stage One, scheduled for completion in 2027, will substantially increase our manufacturing capacity, introduce new technologies and create highly skilled employment opportunities, strengthening our ability to serve customers around the world.
However, impressive facilities alone do not create great companies. Our greatest strength has always been our people. Across every company within the Group, I continue to be inspired by the passion, professionalism and dedication demonstrated by our employees, partners and customers. Their commitment to continuous improvement, innovation and customer success drives everything we do and forms the foundation upon which our future will be built.
As we continue this exciting journey, our vision remains clear: to build a globally respected engineering group recognised not only for manufacturing excellence, but for innovation, integrity and long-term partnerships. We will continue investing in technology, research and development, digital engineering, sustainability and, above all, in the talented people who make our success possible.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and business partners for the trust and confidence they continue to place in us. Together, we are creating something truly special—an engineering group that is not only shaping the future of industry but creating opportunities for generations to come.The journey has only just begun, and our greatest achievements still lie ahead.
