Askon Hygiene Products Pvt Ltd has been manufacturing products like hand dryers, soap and sanitizer dispensers, sensor taps, urinal sensor flush valves and other products since 1985. With state of the art factory in Mumbai and Vasai in Maharashtra, Askon has embodied the concept of Make-in-India since its inception about 4 decades ago. With continuous investment in the manufacturing of new cutting edge products and R&D, Askon has become the first company in India with BIS certification for hand dryers. Four hand dryer models received the ISI mark in September 2024 and as on this date Askon is the only company with this certification for hand dryers. The hand dryers are tested to ensure safe and reliable performance of the product. Each and every component from the plastics, motor, cord wires, connectors, transformer and electronic circuits are tested for various parameters to meet or exceed the set standards. Products are also tested so that there is no compromise on safety of the user even in case of malfunction.

The company has voluntarily taken the BIS certification for hand dryers even before the certification becomes mandatory from March 2025 to show its commitment to promoting quality and helping in building the quality ecosystem in the country. This effort has been rewarded by BIS with a special award on the world standards day in 2024.
