Make in India initiative is anticipated to transform the nation into a global manufacturing hub by 2030, with the manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP rising to 25 percent from 16 percent. The continuous investments in the core manufacturing sector will in turn drive the demand for material handling equipment.
With an exponential growth of the material handling equipment market, the expectations of the industrial clients have also rapidly evolved. Today, the clients desire a total product which includes design integration with the project, customization, serviceable design and components, innovations, upgradation and many more, while reliability and prompt after sales remains a continued expectation.
With more than 30 years of experience in material handling equipment manufacturing, Jaypee Engineering and Hydraulic Equipment (JEHEL) delivers customized material handling solutions with prompt after-sales service. “At JEHEL, our involvement with our customers starts with design customization (to integrate the equipment into their project) and continues through service support as all our customers are big players of various core sector industries and do not accept any downtime in the production cycle. We at JEHEL take service very seriously, as equipment is valuable only when it is available and in optimum condition”, mentions Akshay Agarwal, CEO at Jaypee Engineering and Hydraulic Equipment.
Customized & Cost-Effective Products
Since inception JEHEL has strategically invested to develop a strong design and engineering capability which now helps the firm to design new products around its core competencies of high-precision fabrication and hydraulics. The advanced design techniques matched with impeccable manufacturing capability enables the firm to offer end-to-end customized products to its clientele.
Akshay says, “We are the preferred choice for the equipment in our portfolio. Customers even come to us for new/customized products like snow ploughs, radio remote controlled accretion/ladle cleaning and others, as they trust us to deliver a high-quality solution, even for new products. We are more advanced than most of the Indian manufacturers when it comes to design, manufacturing and after-sales capabilities, whereas quality and reliability remains at our core”.
“Foreign vendors who have more technologically advanced products are our main competitors. Most of these products have a lot of bells-and-whistles which while not adding to the core functionality of the product, significantly increase the cost. At JEHEL, we offer a technically simpler, but a functional and reliable product, backed by excellent local after sale service backed by a local manufacturing plant”, he adds.
The key competency of JEHEL lies in manufacturing technically sophisticated and reliable products at a significantly lower cost, and supported by prompt after-sales service. Moreover, the firm gives undivided attention to the quality parameters of the products manufactured. JEHEL follows stringent quality management procedures to deliver the best products to the clients and ensure customer satisfaction.
Right from input material and components, to the final stage quality inspection is carried-out under the supervision of a pool of experienced engineers who inspect every aspect of the quality of the product. JEHEL has a Quality Control Department with the requisite equipment and technology. All the products right from the Raw Materials stage to the final stage are put through different quality tests like Chemical test, Radio graphic test, Ultrasonic test and others, to ensure superior quality.
Robust Infrastructure
JEHEL has a 150,000 sq ft covered workspace with six overhead cranes at the moment. The existing infrastructure of the firm is equipped with the entire essential infrastructure to manufacture light and medium hydraulic equipment. Profile cutting machines, welding machines, and all other instruments required for the creation of a single 20-ton unit are among the other items in the manufacturing area.
JEHEL’s machine shop is likewise well-equipped with professional and special-purpose machine equipment for achieving the firm’s required precise finish. All essential hydraulic testing machines, including a Dynamic Test Rig, are included in the assembly and testing rig. Apart from that, JEHEL boasts an 8,500 sq ft completely computerized shop and a 7000 sq ft fully air-conditioned administrative office with cutting-edge equipment.
Furthermore, the firm has a fully functional Research, Development, and Design Center, which is equipped with AUTOCAD and Solid Works software and is led by prominent and experienced engineers who are continually working to enhance our present product range. Presence of such modern day facilities has enabled JEHEL to develop a wide array of machines for the clients who are working satisfactorily throughout India and abroad.
Efficient After-Sales Service
JEHEL has been meticulous in providing comprehensive after-sales-support for all equipment manufactured by the firm. Starting with operation training, the firm delivers end-to-end assistance to clients covering all equipment supplied by JEHEL to achieve smooth operation and greater efficiency in operating the equipment. Furthermore, as an original equipment manufacturer, JEHEL offers spares for all of its equipment, providing clients with a one-stop shop for all of the company’s products. JEHEL now has a professional team of service engineers that are entirely mobile, visiting sites on a regular basis to conduct ‘health assessments’ on the company’s goods to assure their longevity and continuous productivity.
Quest For Improvement
JEHEL has been meticulous about constant improvement and innovations. Starting as a small plot of land making only one product i.e. vibratory road rollers, the company has now moved to a 1.5 lakh sq ft manufacturing facility making 9-10 product categories with tens of variations each for various core sector industries. The biggest sustainable change in JEHEL has been in the irm’s focus on systems and processes and improving organizational manpower competency. “These two have been the most challenging and the most rewarding. This is a continuous improvement process which we all at JEHEL are committed to”, points out Akshay.
It is because of JEHEL’s undivided attention towards continual improvement, it has brought 27 new customers under its bracket in the last four years. Furthermore, no customers that have collaborated with JEHEL since the last four years have left the firm. Internally, JEHEL has also achieved massive milestones.
With an eye to become a leading brand for mid and small size man and material lifting, JEHEL wants to focus on reliability and affordability while dedicatedly improving the firms’ design competency. In the future, JEHEL is planning to add a second unit in North India for additional capacity and better quality manpower. This in turn will provide a competitive advantage to the company while also helping it to deliver faster service.
“Having acquired competency as a reliable and low-cost manufacturer of engineering products, in the coming days, we want to be the supplier of choice in this product category. Our mission is also to capture market share in the trailing edge applications and products by positioning ourselves as a reliable and low-cost supplier while satisfying our customers’ basic product needs”, concludes Akshay. In the mid-segment of the Industry, JEHEL has emerged as one of the most exciting engineering firm in the Indian landscape. It is another feather in the cap of the country’s emerging band of young and dynamic entrepreneurs driving the made-in-India initiative.
We are more advanced than most of the Indian manufacturers when it comes to design, manufacturing and after-sales capabilities, whereas quality and reliability remains at our core
