The Machine Tools market in India has evolved through technical upgrades and flexibility standards. The scenario has completely changed from when India was dependent on Imports for quality products. It is now self-sufficient in technology and this gives a great nudge to the manufacturers to level up their products to meet customer expectations. The current industry is focused on Automation, Industry 4.0, Safety, and Non-traditional manufacturing processes. Our demand for machine tools is mostly driven by Defence, automobiles, and electric mobility industries. The government's "Make in India" initiative has also accelerated the development of the machine tool industry.
Tasa Micro SPM, a leading manufacturer of special purpose machine tools offers a vast range of products that can flexibly be put to multiple uses. The USP of the company is being backed by a strong R&D, manufacturing and assembly all under one roof. “Our goal is always about meeting and exceeding the customer expectations. Our product portfolio is one of the most diversified in our industry, which has helped us become a market leader in the broaching, gear tooth finishing and special purpose machines”, shares Ashok Kumar Sen & Sumita Sen (Directors).
Ashok Sen began his professional journey in the year 1975 with Escorts (Motorcycle and Scooter Division) as a tool designer. He then started making the transition from designing fixtures to manufacturing machines at that point. While, Sumita Sen was a teacher for 20 years and blending into the business to serve the purpose was a definite challenge. She says, “I can still recall the moment I decided to support my husband. Despite my desire, I was initially constrained by my lack of financial knowledge. It was a challenge for men to take orders from a woman. I disproved them with my work. My sole piece of advice to all women is to never give up on a goal you have set for yourself if you are confident that you can accomplish it”.
Standing Strong With ‘Make In India’
The previous ten years have seen a dramatic transformation in every product's lifecycle. This
results from the significant shift in the client’s demand over time. In the case of an unexpected product change brought on by a technological development or a shift in market demand in the near future, clients are looking for specialized machine tools that can adapt to a new technique. The development team at Tasa thoroughly analyses the needs of the customer and addresses all the concerns that the client has highlighted. The company also helps in addressing the future challenges that can be faced by the customer by integration along with Industry 4.0 standards with rigorous safety features that take care of both the machine and operator safety requirements.
The key selling point is that Tasa manufactures the machines with the shortest possible lead time and with quality at par with international standards. “In the span of 20 years the handwork we have done in research and development in machine tools has given us an advantage over other machine tool manufacturers. Our team has developed Broaching, Gear Tooth Finishing, and Special Purpose machines to reduce machine tool imports into India and to provide all gear tooth finishing machines available under one roof. We are always working to strengthen INDIA by producing high precision import subsidy machines that reduce the need for machine tool imports.”, says Ashok.
