We will be exhibiting products that pertain to the domains of construction equipment, agriculture, mining and material handling. The product categories will feature future-ready products from proportional valves to electronics, apart from the existing solutions that meet the current needs of our customers. Energy recovery systems to enhance system efficiency, will figure prominently.

We develop unique solutions to meet specific needs of each customer, in terms of optimised machine performance. This is done by working with the customer design teams very closely, conducting pressure-mapping studies and refining the solutions along with the customer teams, to suit the performance needs for each application.

We have developed products/solutions that use the system energy regeneratively. The emphasis of our solutions, is always on reducing pressure losses in the hydraulic system, to minimise fuel consumption.

Walvoil India is today the Walvoil Group’s second largest manufacturing unit and actively supports all Walvoil subsidiaries in terms of supply of finished goods, as well as child parts. A quarter of our sales turnover comes from supplies to other units of the Walvoil Group and this figure is expected to grow even more in the coming years.

Though we have been able to achieve a high degree of localisation, challenges remain in the areas of electronic items, certain high-precision machining jobs, consistency in output from vendors, etc.

Our main R&D centre in Italy is currently evolving path-breaking solutions, involving electrified controls to hydraulic applications.

As a corporate policy, we do not sell in the after-market at all. We sell spares only to OEMs. besides, priority in inhouse production is given to meet the spares needs of customers, sometimes even at the cost of supply to OEM needs.

Thanks to the sustained investment by the government in building the infrastructure in the country, we see the Indian construction equipment market developing into the second largest market by 2030, if not earlier. Apart from the needs of the domestic market, many overseas companies are also setting up manufacturing facilities here and using India as a sourcing hub for their global requirements. We are optimistic about the medium and long-term and our company is accordingly making investments, to meet the growing demand of our customers.
