The Indian lubricants market was valued at over 2,610 kilotons in 2020, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 1.5 percent over the forecast period (2021-2026). Lubrication is a critical component in the efficiency and life expectancy of any rotating equipment and has been witnessing a surge in demand owing to growth in end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, oil & gas, and more.
Significantly, one of the prominent Full Value Chain providers in the realm of Lubrication Systems made in India, in line with the current Government scheme of Atma Nirbhar Bharat is Cenlub Systems. The key emphasis of Cenlub Systems, as in the past, is on quality, reliability, delivery, and innovation.
The firm lays its expertise on Indigenous Design that serves the requirements of Indian clients. The key aspects that give Cenlub Systems an edge over the other peers in the market are Indigenous design, in-house manufacturing, quality systems & processes, and after-sales service.
Cenlub Systems is a process-& system-oriented firm that addresses projects with a system-driven approach. The firm adopts strategies to assist major players in meeting their KPIs – Boost uptime and assure safety with viable business models and dependable solutions. For instance, a paper mill in Uttar Pradesh sought Cenlub Systems for a lubrication solution for its dryer rollers.
Oil circulation systems are commonly employed in the paper industry for this purpose, but are difficult
to maintain, expensive, and prone to contamination, resulting in premature bearing failure. It also generates spills, which causes housekeeping concerns. Perfectly understanding the application and user requirement, Cenlub Systems suggested the user to opt for a dual-line grease lubrication system instead. This switchover eliminated all the major challenges.
The customer went ahead with two additional repeat orders for the same system. At Cenlub Systems, employees are one of the most valuable assets. The firm has a workforce of 170 employees, with a combination of experienced and young personnel.
