Laboratory Furniture

Practical benches, research tables, chemical storage and wall-mounted cabinets for school, college and institutional laboratories — built for a room where the storage is a safety item.

Service information

In a laboratory, the cupboard is part of the safety case.

Laboratory furniture carries a responsibility ordinary furniture does not. Chemical storage has to segregate what must not sit together, be lockable where the material demands it, and stay serviceable in a room that gets washed down. We manufacture that storage — chemical cupboards, hazardous-material cupboards, glazed and solid steel units — alongside the benching it sits against.

The benching itself is built for practical work rather than for display: student practical positions, research benches and the wall-mounted cabinets that keep a working surface clear. All of it made in our own plants in Nashik, dimensioned to your laboratory layout.

What we make

What we manufacture and deliver.

Any one of these can be contracted on its own, or the whole interior delivered under a single award against one drawing set and one schedule. Everything listed is manufactured, supplied and installed by us — not sub-let after award.

    • Under-bench storage where specified
    • Sized to the equipment that goes on it
    • Same construction as the teaching benching

Why Finex

Why departments place this work with us.

  • 01

    Product licences, not just a management system

    Four BIS Standard Mark licences against the Indian Standards for work chairs, tables, storage and bunk beds — product-level approvals with their own CM/L numbers, published with the numbers on them.

  • 02

    Assessed for ergonomics

    The education range holds an Ergonomic Design and Performance assessment from the All India Occupational Therapists’ Association, certificate AIOTA/ERG/C-206/2025-26.

  • 03

    Rated for green procurement

    A GreenPro Ecolabel from the CII, a GRIHA Product Catalogue listing and FSC Chain of Custody for timber — three separate registers a tender can check independently.

  • 04

    Made in our own plants

    Steel forming, welding, powder coating, upholstery and assembly all happen across our two plants in Dindori, Nashik — so a campus order is one schedule and one delivery programme, not a chain of suppliers.

FAQ

Questions we get on this scope.

If yours is not here, ask — we would rather answer it properly.

Our storage units are manufactured under a BIS Standard Mark licence to IS 17634:2022, which is the Indian Standard for storage furniture. That is a furniture standard, not a chemical-containment standard, and we will not present it as one. If your specification calls for a containment or ventilation rating, send it — we will tell you plainly whether we can meet it before you shortlist us, rather than after.

Yes — that is why they are separate product families rather than one cupboard with a label. Send the material list the laboratory will hold and we will specify the segregation and the locking arrangement against it.

Yes — most institutional orders are. Send the drawing, the room layout or just the quantities and the sizes you need. Where an item is a variation on a model covered by one of our BIS licences we will say so, and where it is a fresh design we will say that too, because the two are not the same thing on a tender document.

It is specified against the work the bench does — a chemistry practical bench and a physics bench are not the same problem. Tell us what the room is for and we will confirm the surface for your order in writing rather than quoting a default.

Send the bill of quantities, the room schedule or the tender document. You get back a priced scope against your line items and a dated delivery programme, and we will tell you plainly if any part of it is outside what we manufacture rather than quoting it and buying it in later.

Send us the drawing.

A tender number, a specification or a drawing set — we will confirm what we can build and by when, within two working days.
