Indian outsourcing for submersible pumps

NEWS RELEASE

Indian outsourcing for submersible pumps

Indore, India; 31 July 2008

Darling Pumps manufactures pumps for various Water, Dewatering, Waste water, Sewage & Dredging Applications. At the Aquatech 2008 show they present their outsourcing opportunities. Managing Director Sandeep Naolekar is clear about the goals at Aquatech 2008. ‘We are to find good partners in Europe. Partners who want to promote our ‘Darling’ brand in submersible pumps. But if the customer needs his own brand on the pump, we will go the extra mile to serve the customer.’ Naolekar stresses.

‘We are ready for Europe, ISO certification and CE are in order, OHSAS 18000 & SA 8000 are in progress’ Naolekar adds.

With these interesting statements in mind, Darling is likely to attract attention. They have 25 years experience in dewatering, sewage, slurry and clear water handling. They have a fully fledged factory, with modern machines and testing facilities. And they could profit from the outsourcing trends that are favorable towards India.

Sandeep Naolekar explained us that he has good quality engineers working for him at relatively low cost. But he also explained that not only quality manpower at relative low cost are a strength. Naolekar secured reliable supply of raw materials. This is a major advantage compared to many of his Indian competitors.

Darling presently manufactures Submersible Dewatering, Sewage & Non Clog, Waste Water, and Slurry & Clear Water Pumps up to 75HP. During the Aquatech exhibition in Amsterdam Darling is participating as a co-exhibitor to CBI (Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries). CBI is a Dutch government agency promoting imports from developing countries. Darling is invited by CBI as they had a successful audit for exports to Europe and CBI judges them prepared for the European market.

You can meet Sandeep Naolekar from 30 Sep – 3 Oct at Aquatech (RAI exhibition center, Amsterdam, Hall 7, Stand 400).

Cost efficient positive displacement pumps at Aquatech

NEWS RELEASE

Cost efficient positive displacement pumps at Aquatech

Coimbatore, 29 July 2008
‘We supply excellent positive displacement pumps very cost efficiently’, marketing director Mr. S. Giri explains the main strength of Hydro Prokav (HP) Pumps. HP Pumps recently is very successful on the European market. ‘We just sold 800 progressive cavitiy pumps to the UK and we have a 2 million euro contract in Sweden to supply progressive cavity pumps’, Mr. Giri shares some successes with us.

HP Pumps received over 20 orders from the 2006 Aquatech show. Interesting detail is that Hydro Prokav Pumps was not even physically present in Amsterdam. A small catalogue display was the source of their success. Orders came from Eastern and Western Europe, as well as from Scandinavia. An amazing result asking for an explanation. That is why we spoke to Mr. Giri.

Mr. Giri explains there are a number of reasons for this success. ‘Excellent quality’ and ‘cost efficiency’ are two of those reasons. ‘Our product was very unique and special among regular pumps. We received many inquiries. The inquiries were converted into orders because of regular follow up and timely responses from us’ completes his explanation.

There may also be reasons not mentioned by Mr. Giri. HP Pumps seems to be a dynamic company in every sense of the word. Recently newly developed spindle screw pumps (double and triple) have been launched. New internal gear pumps and sanitary design lobe pumps have been added to the production programme.
Certifications on CE / PED and OHSAS are in order, also an important element for European buyers.

Mr. Giri is exhibiting with his company as a co-exhibitor on the CBI stall. CBI is a Dutch government agency. Their mission is to promote imports from developing countries. Since the brochure display was located on the CBI stall in 2006, HP now will be present at this stall this time. The location is Hall 7, stand 400. The Aquatech exhibition is held in RAI exhibition center in Amsterdam from 30 Sep. – 3 Oct.

Coimbatore; 21 July 2008

They have an output of over 500000 units per year. Their facilities have ISO 9001, EMS 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates from DNV. They supply to large multinationals in India. They export to the USA, South Africa, the Middle East and Singapore. Some exports even go to Europe.
Yet, most European buyers will be unfamiliar, and Mr. Dharani, Partner and Global Business Manager, wants to surprise them.

The company is called Perfect Engineers. Their brand name is Paranaa. Pumps they produce are: Centrifugal, Submersible, Multistage, Sewage and pressure boosting pumps. They also offer customized pumps, as well as Ring frame and AC Induction Motors.

‘A tie up with European companies for mutual interest’ Mr. Dharani does not hide his goals for his first Aquatech participation this year in Amsterdam. ‘I want European buyers to think ‘how come I missed these guys up until now’. Apart from all the above, Mr. Dharani is proud of the pump design department. ‘Our guys can really compete with Europeans on pump design as well. We made a huge effort here, as well as in research and development, and that is paying off now. When European buyers see our facilities and afterwards see the prices we offer them, they will even be more surprised’, Dharani is convinced.

He joined the CBI export coaching programme for Pipe and related products some years ago. CBI is a Dutch government agency promoting exports from developing countries. ‘We had some exports to Europe, but it was time for a long term focused effort to really make a difference for your European clients’ Mr. Dharani tells us. The first marketing event in this new ‘focus’ is the Aquatech exhibition at RAI Amsterdam from 30 Sep – 3 Oct this year. Perfect / Paranaa will be present in Hall 7, stand 400.

Look for the ‘Best Pumps’ on Aquatech

PRESS RELEASE

Look for the ‘Best Pumps’ on Aquatech

Coimbatore: 4 July 2008; Senior CBI expert Peter van der Sman, is convinced ‘Best Pumps’ will leave a good impression. ‘They really have a firm grip on the production process. Besides having an ISO 9001:2000, they will implement ISO 14000 and lean manufacturing’.
Van der Sman also mentions they have excellent housekeeping and practice OHSAS. ‘Not only do they manage their own processes well. They also educate and train their subcontractors. Supply of raw materials is timely and in order’. These last two points Van der Sman stresses. ‘Recent study shows that the lack of such process control is one of the main bottlenecks for European outsourcers and subcontractors’, he explains.

Best Pumps offers a wide range of Centrifugal Pumps. To sum up: Jet, Monoblock, Regenerative, Shallow well, Multi Stage Submersible, Open well submersible, Free Flow and Bore well.

Mahesh Srinivasan will be representing Best Pumps on the Aquatech exhibition in Amsterdam from 30 September – 3 October this year. He explains that until a few years ago, foreign exposure was not there. That is why they decided to join the CBI export coaching programme. CBI is a Dutch government organisation preparing manufacturers for the European market to make them reliable partners for European purchasers.

CBI made them carefully benchmark the European competition. Now that they are at par with European quality requirements, they take the next step. Srinivasan is confident they have an interesting package to offer. ‘Not only are our prices very good, we also have an excellent R&D department’ he continues. The most recent developments he explained us:

- Zero Machining Pumps; Pumps are made from Stainless Steel and Noryl/Delrin composite, making them more cost effective.

- Shallow Well Centrifugal Self Priming Pump; conventional Bronze impellers are replaced by impellers made from a cast alloy of Stainless Steel and Noryl.

- Variable Frequency Drives in Water Filled Submersible Motors and Pumps for higher efficiency.

CBI-geprüfte Betriebe für sichere Lieferungen

Auf der Fachmesse Valve World, vom 4. - 6. November 2008 in Maastricht, wird das CBI wieder drei neue hervorragende Lieferanten aus den Entwicklungsländern vorstellen. Das CBI bietet ein einzigartiges Konzept. Europäische Einkäufer und Ingenieure sollten sich diese Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass Outsourcing in Entwicklungsländer manchmal ein Risiko darstellt. Kürzlich haben der VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure) und die Erasmus-Universtität Rotterdam die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass die meisten Outsourcingprojekte im Bereich Technik sehr enttäuschend sind. Das CBI geht diese Bedenken der europäischen Geschäftswelt beim Handel mit Überseepartnern aus Niedrigkostenländern an, indem es sorgfältige und umfangreiche Betriebsprüfungen durchführt.

Die Teilnehmer in Maastricht haben das strenge Export-Betreuungsprogramm erfolgreich durchlaufen und können daher als vertrauenswürdige Partner für potenzielle europäische Kunden gesehen werden. Diese Teilnehmer sind sich völlig den Marktanforderungen auf dem europäischen Markt bewusst und können die gewünschte Herstellungs- wie auch Produktqualität garantieren.

Wenn Sie einen Partner suchen, der Ihnen hochwertige Ventile zu einem deutlich niedrigeren Preis als in Europa möglich liefert, brauchen Sie nicht weiter zu suchen. Besuchen Sie dann das CBI, Standnummer N492, N494 en N395 auf der Valve World in Maastricht.

Die externen Experten von CBI können Sie auch darüber informieren, welcher der 20 bis 25 Ventilhersteller des CBI-Export-Betreuungsprogramms am besten Ihren Wünschen entspricht. Diese Beratung ist kostenlos.

Wer ist das CBI?

Das Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI) ist eine Agentur des niederländischen Außenministeriums. Seit 1971 leistet das CBI einen Beitrag zu einer fairen wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung ausgesuchter Entwicklungsländer sowie Länder, deren Wirtschaft sich im Wandel befindet, indem sie Dienstleistungen anbietet, die auf die Stärkung der Konkurrenzfähigkeit von Unternehmen in den Bereichen Exportmarketing und Exportmanagement bezüglich des EU- und EFTA-Markts abzielt.

Eind aan stroom mislukte outsourcing verhalen (text in Dutch)

Eind aan stroom mislukte outsourcing verhalen
Strenge audits voor betrouwbaarheid

Het CBI introduceert tijdens Valve World een nieuwe groep leveranciers uit ontwikkelingslanden aan Europese importeurs. Plaats van handeling is Maastricht van 4 t/m 6 november. In de Limburgse hoofdstad staan kleppen en afsluiters centraal.

Het is een algemene wijsheid dat outsourcen in ontwikkelingslanden de nodige risico’s met zich meebrengt. De Associatie van Duitse Ingenieurs en de Rotterdamse Erasmus Universiteit zijn zelfs tot de conclusie gekomen dat dergelijke constructies, vooral in de ingenieurssector eerder tot teleurstellingen leiden dan niet. Exportorganisatie CBI vermindert drastisch de risico’s van productie-uitbesteding in lagelonenlanden weg door zeer kritische audits te verrichten.

Tijdens meerjarige programma’s leren de deelnemende landen wat de markteisen zijn in Europa en worden zorgvuldig doorgelicht op het gebied van productkwaliteit en procesbeheersing. Zo neemt de organisatie de zorgen weg van potentiële Europese importeurs om in zee te gaan met deze kwalitatief hoogstaande producenten en leveranciers.

Mocht u op zoek zijn naar een partner die kwaliteit kan leveren tegen aanzienlijk lagere kosten dan Westerse concurrenten, bezoek dan de CBI-stand (N492, N494 en N395) tijdens het Maastrichtse evenement.
