The Indian Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder market is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years owing to the fact that Indian Manufacturers are coming up with continuous improvements as well the increased automation in this segment. Also, over the last three to four decades, the Indian players in the market have shown that they are at level playing field with other International brands. This was not the case in the late 70’s and early 80’s when there were only a few prominent players in the Hydraulic Cylinders market.
These players were also limited to offering run-off-the-mill products to the clients with very little innovations or improvements happening in the domain. Even with this being the case, the prices were constantly on the rise. This imbalance between price and quality was adversely impacting the growth of the sector as a whole.
In 1982, anticipating higher growth in the market & owing to the founder’s superior technical knowhow, Apex Fluidomatics entered the market. The company’s aim was to change the conventional norms of the industry and bring in a much more customer & engineering centric approach by offering customized products at a competitive price within the stipulated time frame with best of the design parameters. They started working closely with the clients to ensure that they get the best value for money offerings.
Prior to Apex Fluidomatics ’entry into the industry, there was a common misconception that small scale businesses cannot manufacture highly technical products like Hydraulic Cylinders but with their innovative operations, indetail engineering and enthusiasm to produce high quality products, Apex Fluidomatics debunked this myth. Four decades since their inception, quality and customer-centricity still remain the top priority for Apex Fluidomatics and this commitment to quality is what helped the company to survive the test of times and become one of the most notable players in the Indian Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Industry.
A Notch Above The Rest
Apex Fluidomatics developed a market philosophy of providing Import Substitutes and also introduced the concept of Reverse Engineering. Up until then, only European and American imported Cylinders were mainly used in the
market. These two revolutionary marketing ideas helped Apex Fluidomatics create a niche market for itself in the Mining Sector, especially that of Cement and Coal Industry. This allowed Apex Fluidomatics to build a formidable clientele in these Industries.
Experience of supplying high performing Cylinders to highly rough and rugged environment of Mines allowed Apex Fluidomatics to venture into the much vaster yet highly technical industries like Cement Plants and Steel Plants as well as Road Construction, Material Handling and Railways. As of Today, Apex Fluidomatics is working with almost 70 percent of Steel plants in India and 80 percent of Cement Plants. Throughout their operations, Apex Fluidomatics has excelled at working on difficult projects that many others in the industry backed away from and owing to this, over the years, they have been able to work on some revolutionary projects.
Apex Fluidomatics has been constantly working on improving the performance aspect of products and by coupling this with their constant innovation, the company has brought in a new culture of customization in the industry. Apart from this, the company’s ability to learn from their mistakes and their passion for consistent improvement have remained the cornerstone behind their sustained success in the industry.
