Siemens showcases gears, motors and controls at the GMC Expo.

In order to showcase its product portfolio, Siemens Drive Technologies division is participating in Gears, Motors & Controls Expo 2011, a platform where all the leading players in gears, motors, controls and allied products will be showcasing their products.

Siemens is one of the lead sponsors of this show. Siemens' role is beyond developing and selling cutting-edge technologies and has always been innovative. It has brought world-class technology to address the growing business requirements of the market. Siemens is participating for the first time in this event and would be focusing on an end-to-end portfolio which covers the entire drive train spectrum: From Source to Shaft. Siemens' past experience has proven that such avenues provide with numerous opportunities to personally interact with key stakeholders within the industry, exchange ideas and experiences and take valuable inputs and feedback on Siemens product offerings.

The Drive Technologies division has a basket that not only caters to standard products but also offers products attuned to specific applications, systems and the solutions thereof. The gamut of products range from gearboxes to converters. Hence, all business needs can be met only through one manufacturer, thus saving time and cost associated with working with a number of manufacturers. The product basket is capable of fulfilling all requirements from minute to large projects, from general to specialised ones. All business requirements can be met under one roof. With a strong technological base, German-engineered products, all needs can be served? from Source to Shaft!

Flender merged with Siemens Ltd as a business unit of the Drive Technologies division in April 2010. Siemens now has a comprehensive end-to-end portfolio covering the entire drive train, thereby uniquely positioning Siemens as a one-stop solution provider. Siemens has steadily enhanced the synergies of both the organisations and its people and is currently working together smoothly, to provide their valued customers with some of the best integrated solutions in the mechanical drives segment.

Another important aspect is the manufacturing strength. With state-of-the-art facilities, Siemens factories can be called as Centre of Competence. Also with the geographical spread of industries, all customers from various regions can be effectively reached at. Siemens has also started manufacturing large gearboxes and geared motors from the Chennai plant in order to reduce the timelines and reach out to the customers locally. This Advantage India concept will help Siemens reach out to the customers in a far more effective manner as well as help bring in a high degree of flexibility and reliability. In order to introduce high-quality technology at competitive costs, it is imperative to build on the strengths locally and this factory is a step forward in the same direction.
