Machine shop

Our well-equipped machine shop with a built-up area of over 100,000 sq.ft has all the advanced facilities under one roof. The state-of–the-art machining technology and modern manufacturing concept like lean sigma enables us to produce high quality machined castings and deliver on-time, every time.

Additionally, we have strengthened our infrastructure base with advanced and sophisticated machinery. This includes a robotic stellite welding overlay machine used for developing a wide array of high quality machined steel castings. The distinctive array of machinery installed in our unit, our expertise in this sphere and the modern manufacturing concept lean sigma for tooling, scheduling and process control enables us to deliver high quality steel machined components with the best lead time in the industry.

Assembly shop

A well laid out and fully equipped assembly shop together with our surrounding infrastructure enables us to offer customers a complete package solution. Facilitating everything from castings, machining, fabrication through to the assembly of the finished product, this can all be accomplished from a single source thus reducing the overall cost of the final product, whilst being cost-competitive.
