The History
Everlite is brand owned by Senco Gold Limited (‘the Company’) having a legacy of over 80+ years. Our company was incorporated as Senco Gold Private Limited on August 22, 1994, in Kolkata, West Bengal, under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
Later, in order to expand its activities in the field of the jewelry business, the Company was converted to a public limited company in August 2007 with the name Senco Gold Limited.
Subsequently, pursuant to a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 27, 2007, and a special resolution of the shareholders at the EGM held on August 8, 2007, the name of the company was changed to Senco Gold Limited, resulting in its conversion into a public limited company. A fresh certificate of incorporation dated August 31, 2007, consequent to the change of name, was issued by the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal. The Company was converted to a public limited company in order to expand its activities in the field of the jewelry business.
