Sheth Brothers’ Expertise in Marrying Technology with Tradition

In the dynamic world of spice production, manufacturers face a critical dilemma: how to scale operations with automation without losing the authenticity and quality that come from traditional methods. At the heart of this balance is Sheth Brothers, one of India’s most trusted names in spice manufacturing and exports. With a modern, well-equipped production unit in Ambernath, Maharashtra, Sheth Brothers demonstrates how precision engineering and artisanal heritage can co-exist—beautifully

The Case for Automation: Precision, Scale & Speed

In the past decade, India’s spice industry has seen a sharp shift toward automation-driven production, with the goal of increasing efficiency, consistency, and global competitiveness. Sheth Brothers has stayed ahead of the curve with:

• Gyro separators for dust-free chili flakes
• Roasting machines with controlled temperature ranges for exact moisture reduction
• Automated sieving and grading systems for customized flake sizes
• Pneumatic and hygienic conveyors for zero-contamination movement
• Metal detectors and X-ray systems to ensure food safety in final packing

These systems help Sheth Brothers cater to large-scale B2B and export clients, fulfilling high-volume orders with 99.6% on-time, in-spec delivery rates.

The Value of Craftsmanship: Aroma, Texture, and Trust

Yet, in an industry rooted in culture and cuisine, technology alone doesn’t satisfy. Customers—especially gourmet retailers and foodservice brands—still seek:

• Rich aroma from properly aged and roasted spices
• Authentic texture and flake cuts tailored for specific cuisines
• Bright color and oil retention that only expert handling can preserve

Sheth Brothers retains the human touch in key areas such as:

• Sensory testing of every batch by trained professionals
• Manual intervention for aroma profiling and roasting adjustments
• Hand-picked lot selections for boutique clients or private labels

This hybrid approach allows Sheth Brothers to deliver machine-like precision with handcrafted soul.

India’s Research Backs the Hybrid Model

A 2023 study by the Spices Board of India in collaboration with CFTRI (Central Food Technological Research Institute) revealed that hybrid spice production (automation + artisanal input) resulted in:

• 20% longer shelf life
• 15% higher volatile oil retention
• 30% faster time to market

These findings align perfectly with Sheth Brothers’ own performance benchmarks in roasted chili flakes, blended masalas, and whole spice exports.

The Sheth Brothers Facility: Built for Balance

Located in Maharashtra’s industrial corridor, Sheth Brothers' manufacturing unit is designed for this dual philosophy:

• FSSC 22000-certified layout for food safety
• Zoned production—automated processing lines paired with manual quality stations
• Dedicated small-batch rooms for custom spice blends and low-volume artisanal orders
• Continuous feedback loops from QC labs to production staff

This setup ensures that technology enhances craftsmanship rather than replaces it.

Serving Diverse Markets with Tailored Approaches

From bulk B2B shipments to North America and Europe, to boutique spice jars for niche brands, Sheth Brothers offers different processing options based on the market. For example:

• Pizza-grade chili flakes go through precision-cutting machines for uniformity
• Traditional Indian garam masala is blended and adjusted manually for authenticity
• Organic and hand-cleaned batches are reserved for health-conscious and export-oriented clients

Final Thoughts: The Future is Balanced

As the spice industry continues to evolve, the answer isn’t choosing between automation and craftsmanship—it’s integrating both. Sheth Brothers has mastered this balance with its scalable systems and sensory experience, creating products that are not only efficient to produce but also rich in flavor, appearance, and cultural integrity.

“We are not just spice processors—we are custodians of taste and tradition,” says the management at Sheth Brothers.

And that, perhaps, is what truly sets them apart.
