Abacus Manufacturer India — 10-Row Wooden Abacus · Chinese Abacus · Primary School Counting Frames

We've been making these at 6148/6, Guru Nanak Marg since 1996. Nearly three decades of cutting hardwood frames, stringing wire, and watching kids figure out that sliding a bead actually means something. The abacus works because it's honest — no batteries, no updates, no screen to crack. Just wood, wire, and beads that click when you move them.

We build the standard 10-row 10-bead frame that primary schools across India, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia keep reordering. Also the Chinese suanpan for older students, desk-size models, and full class sets of 30. If you've ever unpacked a shipment in a Lagos classroom or a Riyadh supply room, there's a decent chance it came from our workshop.

What We Actually Make

10-Row 10-Bead Wooden Abacus

Natural hardwood frame, 30 cm by 20 cm. Ten color-coded beads per row — ones, tens, hundreds, up to ten billion if a kid's patient enough. This is the one headteachers ask for by name. Solid wood, not that compressed rubbish that swells when it rains. We've seen these survive ten years of daily use. We've also seen what happens when schools buy cheap — they reorder from us the following term.

Chinese Abacus (Suanpan)

Thirteen columns, traditional 2-over-5 bead setup. Wooden frame, same hardwood we use on the standard model. Most primary teachers don't need this, but some curricula still specify it. We keep making them because when someone asks for a suanpan, they usually mean it.

Mini Desktop Abacus

Same 10×10 layout, smaller footprint. Fits on a desk that's already holding a textbook, a pencil case, and someone's lunch. Good for homework or schools that can't fit full-size frames in every desk.

Wire Counting Frame

Ten rows of ten beads on a sturdy stand. Teachers buy these for demonstrations because the kid in the back row can actually see what's happening. Also works for small groups where everyone needs hands-on access.

Class Set of 30

Thirty student abacuses at 30×20 cm each. One teacher demonstration model at 60×40 cm — double the size, impossible to miss from the back. Everything packed in one carton. We don't send them loose; we've learned what happens when thirty wooden frames knock against each other for three weeks at sea.

Bead String Counters

Hundred beads on a cord, color changes every ten. Costs next to nothing, fits in a pocket, no frame to snap. Useful when you've got more students than desks, which is most places we ship to.

Why Buyers Come Back

The frames outlast the curriculum.

Natural hardwood, properly dried before we cut it. We've had schools in Kenya reorder after fourteen years because the first set finally gave out. That's not marketing — that's just what happens when you don't use particle board.

Kids see the math without being told.

We alternate bead colors every ten. Ones are one color, tens another. A child figures out place value by looking, not by listening to a teacher explain it for the sixth time. Saves everyone's patience.

Class sets that don't create work.

Thirty identical student units. One big teacher abacus. One box, one invoice, one delivery to coordinate. The head of maths doesn't need to chase missing pieces or mismatched sizes.

Packed by people who know what shipping does.

ISO 9001:2015 certified, yes. But more importantly, we've been exporting to 75-plus countries long enough to know that a carton that looks fine in Ambala can look like kindling after a rough sea journey. We box tight. We pad properly. Schools in Lagos and Dhaka receive them intact — not because we're lucky, but because we stopped being careless about packing years ago.

What Schools Keep Asking

Which abacus do we actually need?

The 10-row 10-bead. Ten beads on each of ten rows, each row a place value. It's what primary maths curricula specify from Mumbai to Nairobi to Jakarta. Our 30×20 cm wooden version is the most common order we fill. If you're unsure, start here.

Can you handle a full class?

Regularly. Thirty student abacuses, one teacher model at 60×40 cm, everything in one shipment. Not a special order — we keep these packed and ready.
