The evolving landscape of manufacturing reflects the ongoing progress in pneumatics, where advancements in infrastructure aim at cost savings and productivity enhancements. Embracing sensor integration and improved sealing mechanisms, pneumatic systems now boast heightened efficiency, aligning with the demands of Industry 4.0 for intelligent factory automation. This transition promises reduced downtime and predictive maintenance capa- bilities.
However, challenges persist for customers, ranging from product reliability to compatibility issues and responsive technical support. Mercury Pneumatics is a well-known company Headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra that manufactures high quality pneumatic products. With over four decades of pioneering solutions and personalized customer service, the company stands ready to address contemporary challenges while ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
From humble beginnings, Mercury Pneumatics swiftly gained prominence with its groundbreaking 'T' ring design Spool Valves, challenging multinational competitors. Expanding its horizons, the firm introduced Hydro-Pneumatic Presses and Pumps, emerging as a market leader with over 25,000 systems operational across India. Responding to market demands, it diversified its offerings to include Pneumatic Cylinders in 1996, adhering to ISO standards.
Empowering Productivity through Comprehensive Solutions
Mercury Pneumatics offers a diverse range of pneumatic products, encompassing Solenoid Spool and Poppet valves, manual valves, Pneumatic Cylinders, Air preparation units, Push type fittings among others. Its product line also features flow control and energy saving valves, safety check valves complemented by Coiled Hoses, Tube Cutters, and Blow Guns, these solutions cater to diverse industrial needs, facilitating automation and machinery operations. “This company manufactures, supplies and sells these pneumatic systems to meet various needs in the industrial sector where there is need for pneumatic systems for automation and machinery”, says Nitin Somani of Skyline Distributors.
Mercury Pneumatics has always stood out in the market for their hydropneumatic cylinders, presses and other Pneumatic products only due to its technical focus. The firm’s sales team possesses deep technical expertise, offering tailored solutions rather than mere components. Prioritizing understanding customer needs, they provide bespoke pneumatic products ensuring precision and long-term cost savings. The company engages customers through direct interactions facilitated by a team of technically proficient sales engineers and technical associates.
