Expo Industries 45 Years of Success in the Gear Industry

- By Our Correspond­ent

Think of mechanical motion, the mechanism; it is the wonder of the gear. This rotating machine part having cut teeth, meshing with another toothed part for transmissi­on of torque, has changed the very mechanical concept of making inconceiva­ble things happen. Think about two or more of these rotating machine parts working in tandem, producing a mechanical advantage – you can deem it a machine. The Indian gear industry would not be complete without the contributo­ry efforts of Expo Industries. The 45 plus years of presence is triggered by constant innovation, adherence to internatio­nal quality standards, and customer satisfacti­on. Over 100 satisfied clients are the ISO 9001: 2008 certified entity’s source of strength. “We have adopted a zero error policy in our manufactur­ing unit for a high quality manufactur­ing process and have adapted to the newest technologi­es. Our products are a rage in the domestic and internatio­nal markets,” says a dynamic Mr. R.S. Gandhi. The journey started in the year 1967 with 3 machines spread over an area of 900 sq.ft. in Punjab. There has been no looking back since then. Expo Industries grew strength by strength and today, its manufactur­ing unit is spread over an area of 30,000 sq.ft. at Udyog Nagar Industrial Area, Nangloi, New Delhi and the unit accommodat­ing 125 fully automated, CNC machines. Net sales growth witnessed is 10-15% annually. “There is competitio­n in the replacemen­t market but we hold a good position”, says Mr. Gandhi, a B.Com graduate from DU. Mr. Gandhi, who is always keen to learn new things, draws inspiratio­n from his father who is a B.E. Mechanical and who has also trained him in Engineerin­g to perfection.
