From Concept to Icon: The Evolution of the Everest Logo
The Changing Hues of Everest
With our evolving manufacturing capabilities, our brand identity evolved as well. In 1983, we adopted the name Everest Building Products Ltd. Thus, our first brand logo under the name Everest took shape.
The association of Mt. Everest can be seen in our earliest logos, signifying our rise as a leading building material provider. Eventually, we moved away from this symbolic element, creating a simpler, recognisable logo, focused on our role as roofing manufacturers.
Cut to today and we've upgraded with the times, with a minimal, easy-to-spot logo in our signature red.
1934: The Birth of Cement Sheets in Kymore, M.P.
The Year of Beginnings
It all began in Kymore, Madhya Pradesh, in 1934. We entered the roofing space with a unique vision and an innovative product at hand, asbestos cement sheets. These sheets were renowned for their excellent resistance to fire, chemicals and heat. In fact, we were the first to manufacture asbestos roofing sheets in India, creating a name for ourselves as pioneers in the industry

1980: Dara Singh and Everest - A Timeless Collaboration
Everest Sheets Jo Barso Chale
The 1980s saw our iconic collaboration with Dara Singh. The renowned wrestler and actor appeared in one of our digital ads that ran on Doordarshan. The catchy jingle from this ad has stuck around in viewers' minds over the years. Just like our products, this ad has turned into a timeless classic, jo rahe beasar, ho koi bhi mausam.
1994: Expanding Horizons with Innovative Board and Panel Solutions
Raising New Walls
Roofing had sustained us for over 60 years, we had perfected our craft and made our mark, now it was time to set off to new horizons.
We launched our boards and panel solutions in 1994, focusing on non-asbestos and eco-friendly products. Our fibre cement solutions spanned from cladding and facade work to internal partitions.
2008: Steeling the Spotlight – Leading the Way to PEB
Transforming India's Construction
Roofs, walls, flooring, we had it all covered, now what next?
It was 2008 and pre-engineered buildings were taking India by storm. While the benefits of this technology were gathering recognition, there was still some hesitancy in adapting to the new innovation. We stepped in to shape this industry, with our 100% Made in India pre-engineered solutions. From then to now, we’ve come a long way, with over 3500 PEB projects under our wing.
2017: Introducing Everest Supercolour
A Pop of Colour
Have you ever seen a birds-eye view of India? The emerald greens and still waters are speckled all over with dots of stone-cold grey. We decided it was time to change this drab landscape and add a pop of colour to India’s roofs. Which is why we launched Everest Supercolour, the nation's first coloured roofing sheet.
Supercolour now comes in 4 snappy colours to brighten up your project, red, green, yellow and blue. But that’s not all, we had one more card up our sleeve.
2020: Unveiling Everest's Central Philosophy
Spaces Reimagined
In 2020 we did some inward thinking. We already had hundreds of projects and an extensive range of products under our belt, but we needed something to tie it all together. A central philosophy to rule them all. So, we asked ourselves one simple question,
What does Everest actually stand for?
The answer was clear. With every project we undertook, we had a singular objective. To give new life to every space, driven by the power of our imagination.
And thus, Reimagined Spaces was born. It encapsulates our position as a new-age building material provider, whose vision is to improve people’s lives by creating the spaces of tomorrow.

Everest's R&D Milestones
As we grew our manufacturing prowess, we also took major leaps toward research and development, with research facilities at Kymore and Mumbai.
In 1981, we launched our first full-fledged research centre in Bangalore. One of the major purposes of this facility was to support our efforts in developing partial substitutes for asbestos fibres.
