About Us
With an experience of over half a century, the Badra's established a firm footing in the automotive industry. In the year 1969,
Ismail Suleman Badra founded the "Good Luck Garage" located at Mumbai Central (then known as Bombay Central) in the heart of Mumbai.
Being one of the pioneer's in the automotive service industry, Mr. Ismail Badra strived to take the name of Good Luck Garage to a complete new level. Initially Good Luck Garage was only into repairs of then well-known brands like FIAT, AMBASSADOR, VOLKSWAGEN (MATADOR).
During this struggle, he realized that this wasn't enough and there was a great demand for 4-wheeler body parts and very few manufacturers. Being a visionary he now realized that just service is not enough. He wanted to expand his reach further and finally in the year 1978, International Industries was formed. But this time he wasn't alone in his quest. His eldest son Mr. Bashir Ismail Badra joined hands with him.
Together the duo were unstoppable, they were driven by quality, for quality. This successful attempt was seen by people. The body parts made by International Industries were then called the 'perfect' by the people. This showed the faith of the people in their work and hence in the year 1979 'International Industries' was renamed to 'Perfect Body Parts'.
Perfect Body Parts then expanded their product range and capacity and in time became one of India's leading 4-wheeler body parts manufacturers and traders.
PERFECT means GOLD. Mankind has been associating attributes such as purity, value, creativity, and timelessness with GOLD.
This was seen by their competitors as well as startups as an opportunity to make profits using the word 'perfect' in their trade names.
In a matter of making a profit, these less competent companies put down the name and efforts of Ismail Badra and Bashir Badra.
Been witness to the Ups and down of the metal industry, they did not lose their morale and decided to win the trust of the people again. And so formed 'New Perfect Body Parts' in the year 1981. With two new members in addition to the team Mr. Amin Ismail Badra and Mr Ibrahim Ismail Badra, the second & third sons of Ismail Badra, the trio then under the guidance of their father thrived towards excellence. Together they 'redefined perfection'
Their motto was "We provide the right part - every time - for the right price"
This thought along with their efforts and quality took the company to a whole new level.
News of the revolutionary change in the automotive service industry reached the doors of API
For those who do not know, API Lambretta was the first indian two wheeler scooter.
API Lambretta approached Mr. Ismail Badra to make the entire body of three wheelers for them. In the year 1989 the "New Perfect Body Parts" introduced 3 wheeler body in their production line. This was like a feather in the cap of the Badra's.
In due course of time the demand of 4 wheeler body parts started declining, hence the Badra's concentrated on the 3 wheelers industry, which was on a rise. Also many newer 3 wheeler brands got introduced in the market, creating a larger demand. So did the Badra's. Three more members
added to the team ie the Grandsons of Mr. Ismail Badra ie Mr. Atik Badra, Mr. Sufiyan Badra, and Mr. Irbaaz Badra. With the addition of these new members, came the new technology of manufacturing. Hence with vast knowledge, extreme effort, new technology, and machine formed a new age company ie Perfect Metal Industries (2005).
But during this phase the company faced a great loss by the sudden and untimely demise of Mr Ibrahim Ismail Badra (December 2015). The Badra's were devastated by the loss one of the pillars of the company. But as great people say " The show must go on". And so did the Badra's.
Now with increased core strength and changing of old manual machinery to semi-automatic, relocating and increasing the manufacturing space for their production line, and undergoing stringent quality tests, the Badra's production line reached a whole new level beyond the reach of others.
After seeing this, finally satisfied Mr. Ismail Badra breathed his last in the year 2016, handing over the reins of the company the hands of his sons and grandsons.
They always remember his words "Auto Care Is Our Business" & "Always Insist on Performance & Quality"
With these words in mind, the Badra has kept the legacy of the Late Ismail Badra running strong as always. The parts of Perfect Metal Industries have reached farfetched places all over India. These products are exported to major parts of the world.
