The construction business is expected to be a very interesting industry for this decade and next. Construction activity is on the rise, and this trend is expected to continue over the projected period. Because of increased investments in the construction industry, demand for diamond saw blades is expanding significantly, fueling the expansion of the diamond tools market. Furthermore, automotive, healthcare & pharmaceutical, and aerospace & defense end-users will expand the market further. The emphasis on improved cutting efficiency and decreasing waste in the form of chips is projected to boost demand for diamond tools. Furthermore, the expansion of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries is fueling growth in the worldwide diamond tools market.
The global market for diamond tools is expected to reach $4.37 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of more than 6.7 percent from 2021 to 2026. The Indian economy is about to undergo the fastest expansion in its history during the next two to three decades. This hyper-growth cycle will pervade virtually every industry, but especially the manufacturing sector, because, as we all know, abrasives and tools are critical components of industrial activity. Korgavker is currently investing in product development and capacity growth because they are quite confident about the potential for this business over the next two to three decades.

Bespoke Products at their Best
Korgavker manufactures diamond sawblades for a variety of industries, including the stone industry, construction industry, infrastructure industry, and abrasive products for the metalworking industry. The way they work for the stone and construction industries is, by offering an extensive array of diverse formulations for very specific performance results on one end, to a very versatile and universal performance for a mixed application on the other end. As a result, they can assist the customer in both ways. One example is that if a customer wants a solution for a very specific application, Korgavker can custom-create products based on their applications and provide a product that functions exceptionally well in that unique application. On the other hand, some consumers may want a product that is particularly versatile and works with a variety of workpiece materials.
Korgavker customizes products for a wide range of applications. Because of their considerable knowledge and being an indigenous manufacturer, the company can provide this service to their customers. Being able to provide custom-made products to their clients, is the most significant USP to their customers, in which they offer greater performance and lower costs. Saw-Blades ranging from 4” diameter, all the way to 36” diameter are being offered in diverse applications, along with other products such as gangsaw segments and wire saws. Thereby ensuring a wide range of solutions in sawing and grinding applications that cover practically all uses in stone, construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing activities.
The first step that Korgavker takes in its manufacturing activities is to assess the quality of its raw materials. They have created in-house protocols to test their quality and as a result, a comprehensive quality control regime is in place covering all the raw materials. The company also sources its manufacturing equipment from some of the best companies in India and around the globe, which allows them to have specific narrow tolerance range in terms of manufacturing activities. The finished product is then subjected to QC processes to test the quality and whether they fall within the nominal tolerance deviations. For instance, in the small saw blades category, the company has a complete system for assessing the performance of the blade batch-to-batch in terms of its performance. Thus, every outgoing batch falls within a particular set narrow tolerance range. Each product is also randomly tested in-house to ensure optimal performance.
“As we are a 40-year-old company, we have an extensive database of in-house developed formulations, whereas most other companies in our industry are not as entrenched in formulation and R&D. We place a greater emphasis on R&D activities, bringing in more formulations to meet the needs of various applications. We differentiate ourselves by giving custom-made products to our consumers instead of following the notion of one-size fits all approach. We strive to provide that kind of value for money proposition that they usually expect from us which has allowed us to establish a solid repeat clientele base", emphasizes Shreyance Shah, Managing Director.

Korgavker holds a strong foothold in the stone, concrete, and infrastructure industry and is further diversifying into the metalworking and woodworking industries. In the realm of woodworking, the company is in the advanced stage of setting up a plant for manufacturing TCT saw-blades for hard-wood, laminates, and plywood. It is also entering the metalworking industry, by launching abrasive cut-off wheels, flap discs, and others. for grinding and metal cutting applications. Both these investments are aimed at reducing India's reliance on imported products by having them manufactured in India and building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat ecosystem.
“We are now an Eco Vadis Sustainability Silver Rating accredited company with ISO certifications for Environmental & Sustainable manufacturing processes. This is primarily intended to reassure our customers that we are a very eco-friendly company and look at the entire ecosystem as one large family. We also engage in a great deal of CSR activities in Gujarat and Maharashtra, donating 10 percent of our profits to numerous NGOs for tribal health care, education, and overall upliftment to empower them to be self-reliant", concludes Shreyance Shah.
