Being active in the Indian market since 1989, we always realised the need to have a local source of manufacturing”, Mark Fenyes states, Chairman of Omega Sinto. “Despite spending a lot of time looking for suitable partners over the years, we couldn’t find an organisation that embraced our values and vision for the future.”
The story began in 2009 when Omega Sinto acquired Richards Engineering Ltd. During the discussions it came out that Richards Engineering Ltd had an appointed licensee in India, which was Mr Nitin Sane, Sane Equipment PVT.
“On my next visit to India I met Mr Nitin, and I knew immediately that he was the right partner for our business”, Mark Fenyes explains. “Initially we manufactured a limited range of equipment locally to service those smaller foundries that were not capable of importing equipment from the UK, whilst at the same time we used the JV to support larger turnkey installations we were undertaking in India.”
When the time had progressed it was obvious that the JV should play a wider role in the market, and as such the range of machines that can be produced locally has been significantly increased.
“Nitin Sane, along with his son Siddarth, and the rest of his team, have done an outstanding job in manufacturing and supporting our commercial team through our partners Gargi Engineering who we have been associated with for nearly 40 years”, Fenyes concludes.
“With now over 400 installations in India, we wish Nitin and his team continued success for the next 15 years”, Mark Fenyes states, Chairman of Omega Sinto.
