Ants Ceramics did not start in the proverbial "garage" but it was something close. The company started in an IIT Kharagpur lab by two engineers under the mentor-ship of their professor. Ants have a dream, a vision to be a state of art advanced ceramics manufacturing company capable of making complex, customized ceramic components. Ants aim to be a pioneer in IP driven manufacturing and commercialisation of ceramics and to create an eco-system for research and development in material science.

It has been a challenging journey and Ants has come a long way from being in a lab to having our own manufacturing facility and office in Vasai, Mumbai. The company currently supply to majority of research labs in both government and educational institutions in India has established its presence in various other countries.
