PMP cater to major customers in this segment
Says Mr. B. Sivasankar, Country Manager (India & Middle East), PMP, “Given the demand for superior quality components, we have entered a co-engineering alliance with the OEMs. Our strategy is to deliver a 100% Satisfied Product to the customer, hence the process starts from the selection of the product based on customer requirement, which will be then validated for its design. Design is based on critical duty cycle parameters like gradients, travelling speed, torque, peak utilization and lifecycle of the equipment.
He adds, “We are the first European manufacturer in India to offer integrated drives, which include the gearboxes and hydraulic motors, while most component manufacturers are manufacturing their own gearboxes and sourcing the hydraulic motors. So, we are providing a single-window support to our customers.” PMP provides integrated drives for excavators, tracked crushers and blast hole drilling rigs to Indian customers.
The company conducts various quality and performance tests of its products prior to delivery. After every six months or hours of utilization of the components, a critical pressure mapping is done, and if needed by customers, it conducts strip analysis and validation of the components. Along with in-house support to customers, PMP is also developing a dealer base for the northern and southern markets.
