Opening of Technology Solutions
Centre in Bangalore Represents
Significant Milestone in AMETEK
SMP’s Engagement with India
More than 100 AMETEK customers attended the inauguration on
October 10 of the new AMETEK Technology Solutions Centre in
Bangalore, India, officially opened by Mr P. Ramdas, President of
the Indian Machine Tools Manufacturers’ Association. This event
represented a significant milestone in the history of the company’s
10-year involvement in India, a market of ever-growing importance
for AMETEK Specialty Metal Products (SMP).
“We are seeing significant growth in India
across the aerospace, defense, automotive, and
oil and gas industries. For example, the Indian
automotive industry is currently preparing
for the introduction of stricter emissions
regulations (BS-IV) that are in line with US
and European standards. As a result, there is
a growing demand for the advanced stainless
steel and high-alloy powders produced by
AMETEK SMP Eighty Four,” commented Rahul
Gujar, National Sales Manager for AMETEK SMP.
After the inauguration ceremony, with keynote
speeches from industry experts, guests were given
a full tour of the Centre, which showcases the latest
technologies, including a range of AMETEK SMP’s
high-performance metal powder, tube and strip
products.
The new Centre represents a significant investment.
It will be a key differentiator for AMETEK and an
important resource for its many customers in India
across a range of industries. With its facilities for
