- RUBRIC CLEAN HM, premium hydraulic oil that prevents varnish build-up and keeps your hydraulic systems running at peak efficiency.
LUBRILIS 7223 –
High performance water soluble machining fluid equipped to offer very good tool life for aluminum and ferrous metals with optimum consumption and sump-life. You can also get rid of your staining issue on aluminium which comes after machining (mostly when machined after shot blasting) with many water soluble coolants.
Q. Brief us about your company’s strategy post IMTEX 2017 to get benefited maximum from this exhibition
IMTEX is a big show. Our aim was to showcase our strength to offer end to end /customized solutions, to Indian metal working & process Industries. Since most of visitors come to us in IMTEX, was facing different challenges, we are working to resolve them as per customer priorities. We have visited almost all the prospects to understand their challenges in practical and offering the optimum solution.
Q. Your views on impact of “MAKE IN INDIA” initiative in Indian Manufacturing sector
“MAKE IN INDIA” has already made lots of positive impact and will continue to make high impact on manufacturing more and more products in India, coming back of PSA-Peugeot to India is one such example. We found that many organizations from western as well as from eastern world are looking towards us (India) as highly professional, quality oriented and committed nation in manufacturing sector. In my view after the Information Technology & services, manufacturing will be the next big thing in India with such an initiatives.
Q. Please comment on changing trends in your industry segment in near future
More than anything else, regulations are major driver for change the “Lubricant industry globally”. Whether it is customer who want to export their components, to Europe or US or a multinational company wants to implement their global environment policy in India. Hence we expect, customer will look out for the products which are not only environment friendly but also give much higher performance /value to the users.
One such example is “Water based rust preventatives like our “MT SHIP PROTECT AQUA A1”. Many of the customers in Europe has asked their Indian suppliers to use water based rust preventative on their component, so that they are in compliance with REACH*.
Or out MT TUBE GEL which is enviro-friendly/bio degradable deformation gel with easy washable with plain water without any need cleaning agent.
Or need of chlorine free water soluble cutting oil which is banned in western world, are few of such examples. Apart from these we also foresee a change in machine tool industry to use high performance metalworking as well lubrication oils/greases, which not only improve the machine tools performance but help the users to get maximum value out of it by getting much higher overall equipment efficiency and productivity.
* (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a European Union regulation dated 18 December 2006. REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment.)
Q. Your company’s vision 2025 considering current market scenario and trends
We are very optimistic about Indian market. It is one of the key global market for Motultech. It is expected that Indian market will grow but the product mix will be totally different. We are gearing up for industrial lubricants (with major focus on metal working) auto components to be used in Euro/BS VI, aerospace component machining, fill for life oils and greases in many applications.
Q. Your company’s expansion plans for Indian Market
We Motultech are not very old in country.We have a high growth plans for us, which will be much faster than the Indian manufacturing sector (IIP) as well the lubricant industry in India. We are creating our different market by working very closely with our customers and giving them the desired & flexible solution which is not very common in Indian industry. We are already presence across India and also started serving to neighboring countries, we are also filling some gaps in our distribution network in different part of India by appointing high potential distributors.
