Sustaintech offers different types of wood-burning stoves tailored to the needs and cooking habits of small-scale commercial cooks in India. As the company’s PYRO stoves require 40 % less firewood than conventional models, and have chimneys, they save costs, help to protect the health of their users and improve productivity. Sustaintech has PYRO Distribution Centres in strategic locations. It markets stoves directly to customers and offers commissions to customers successfully promoting PYRO stoves to their peers. It also collaborates with financing institutions providing flexible loans.
