The company started in 1995. It was a humble beginning done by B.B BROS
with an initial turnover of around Rs.50,000/-. The B.B Bros initially started with a
launch of a single product i.e., jeans. Now it has got a wide range of products of
different models ranging from jeans, cottons, chinos cottons, ladies jeans and
cottons, denim shirt and jackets, kids wear etc.
Today it has been said to be the best jeans company in our whole Karnataka
state, and it is one of the leading brands from south India. It has been exporting its
jeans to different African, Australian and Asian countries and also recently. It has
also become supplier to United Kingdom recently. This phenomenal growth could
be attributed to constant quality improvisation, product guarantee, and follow up of
customer feedback and brand promotion.
Before launching POINT BLANK jeans the entrepreneurs first manufactured
a generic brand and then they learnt about various aspects of garment industry and
then launched brand of their own with a brand of POINT BLANK jeans. This
makes us to understand that before launching a product it is necessary to do a pilot
study before starting the company operations. They launched initially only a single
product in form in jeans.
Then they slowly diversified into other different ranges, with a mere
investment of Rs.50,000 but now the company is earning in crore of Rupees its
turnover.
