We are newly getting into Planetary gear segment, and our USP is that we have the capacity to cut internal helical gears in our facility.”

 

“We’ve been part of the IPTEX-GRINDEX show from the first edition. The expo is more focussed on gears and transmissions, and this is what makes us return. This time during the 3-day event, we will be looking at showcasing tooling and technologies. There will be no machines on display at the upcoming event.”

Besides this, Pune is a great hub for meeting such visitors who are very supportive of the gear manufacturers. We have developed new and different gears for the American and European market for the upcoming expo.”

 

“We’ve been with IPTEX-GRINDEX from the beginning. As a gear machine builder, we don’t get the recognition at other expos unlike at IPTEX-GRINDEX because it caters to our specific needs, and offers that space. For the upcoming expo, we will be exhibiting something new for our customers.”
