Well-equipped with advanced testing facilities and robust infrastructure, the foundry thoroughly understands each customer's unique needs offering a comprehensive range of products from raw castings to machined parts and assemblies. Their strong development team and capability to create additional facilities, such as a robotized machining section for high-demand products, ensure customer requirements.
"In the automotive sector, OEMs faces fluctuating market demands and experiences frequent introduction of new models, requiring rapid part development and cost reduction through value engineering. Foundry addresses these challenges with a robust development team and local warehouses for JIT supply, ensuring they meet immediate customer needs and maintain supply reliability in a competitive market", says Sumit Agarwal, Director.
Furthermore, Sudisa's client engagement process starts with capturing specific requirements and finalizing them through discussions. They manufacture parts based on customer designs, often suggesting cost-saving modifications. After finalizing costs and prices, they plan and invest in the necessary facilities, and then the manufacturing team creates a detailed process plan. Post-production, the customer quality team collects regular feedback and provides after-sales support, addressing any issues at the client's end.
"Our timely and efficient casting products have significantly impacted client operations. In one instance, we invested in additional facilities to meet a customer's high demand, which led to the customer's highest production year. In another case, we developed a personalized part within two months, resulting in substantial cost savings for the client and successfully meeting strict timing requirements for an army vehicle supplier, avoiding penalties", shares Sumit.
