Spacewood operates a significant manufacturing facility of around 1 million sq. ft., equipped with panel processing and sheet metal capabilities. Their dealer network encompasses over 500 partners, spanning 150 towns and cities.

To date, SOS has furnished office environments for over 1,000 corporate clients and property developers. Spacewood aims to achieve a targeted group revenue of Rs 700 crore for the fiscal year 2026, with an ambitious growth rate of 25-30% annually over the next five years, prioritising profitability.
