Collaborative Manufacturing
Making International standard equipment Cost-Comparative
We set up our manufacturing business in 2009-2010 to manufacture specialized equipment to service the food industry. With high labour costs in Europe, the end customer in India could not always be able to afford entirely imported equipment.
Therefore, with strategic partnerships with our principals, we produce equipment in India. This equipment is essentially designed and manufactured at our facility near Ahmedabad.
Some of the projects we jointly execute and integrate are Tummers, Siccadania, Lindor, Rosenqvists, Emve, and Blueprint.
Thus, global technologies are now affordable for our valued customers.
In addition to expensive European equipment, import duties & shipping costs have often deterred Indian Food Processors from importing the best quality equipment for their processes. Food processors from the snack food, spices and powder handling, fruit & vegetable handling as well as frozen foods domain are now serviced through our licensing arrangements with manufacturers like Tummers, SiccaDania, Lindor, Rosenqvists, Emve & BluePrint.
The gain from this activity has been three-fold:
For the customer:
Reduced cost of the state-of-the-art processing equipment, enabling a quicker return on investment.
India-specific advancements/modifications to cater to the Indian consumer’s tastes
Consistent product quality & throughput
Reduced delivery times
For the Principal:
Value engineering support; competent engineering team to execute the projects efficiently in a time-bound manner.
Higher cost efficiencies due to lower input costs of engineering and manufacturing.
For FPT:
Improved manufacturing & service capabilities through the training & guidance of our principals.
Business growth due to higher project sales.
Sales of integrated systems incorporating solutions from multiple systems with auxiliary equipment built by us.
Due to the values that our company has been built on, we have been able to generate trust with our principals for them to be able to share their IP and knowledge to serve the Indian market better.
