Azad Engineering’s machining capability is very impressive, say Tanaka
India’s leading precision engineering company, Azad Engineering, has started work on US$20 million exclusive manufacturing facility for Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) at Tunikibollaram near Medchal, Hyderabad.
Azad Engineering’s capacity expansion is part of the company’s strategy for the next 5 years to achieve the targeted growth of 35-40% CAGR during the period.
Azad is an end-to-end solution provider for global power generation & aerospace OEMs including GE, Siemens, Toshiba, MAN, Doosan Skoda, GE Aviation, Boeing, Honeywell, Eaton, Rafael, BHEL, HAL and Baker Hughes.
Azad’s and Mitsubishi’s journey started about a decade ago with a few machines, progressed to an exclusive bay in their current manufacturing unit, and has now entered a new dimension with the forthcoming manufacturing facility being setup exclusively for MHI.
“The collaboration with Mitsubishi to build an exclusive facility is an outcome of our commitment and sustained effort to deepen our relationship as a preferred partner of global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),” said Rakesh Chopdar, MD of Azad Engineering.
“It’s a highpoint in our decade-long business association with Mitsubishi and testimony to Azad’s commitment to excellence,” he said after laying the foundation stone for the 11,800 sq m facility on 22 Dec 2022
“Azad Engineering’s machining capability is very impressive,” added K. Tanaka, Dy. CEO of MHI.
“They provide components of high quality and accuracy for our gas and steam turbines. So, we are glad to strengthen our partnership with Azad.”
“Our quality requirements are among the highest in the world and Azad is the only partner outside Japan, for few critical components, who can meet the demanding standards,” elaborated Raja Ram Reddy, Engineering Head, MHI, Japan.
“So, we partner with them for gas and steam Airfoils. They are wedded to customer centric approach and rate high on cost competitiveness, making them extremely attractive partners in our supply chain. Besides, Azad steadfastly sticks to delivery commitments.
“Even during the recent lockdown period, when supply chains were disrupted globally, Azad did not miss on delivery deadlines. So, our trust in them is up multifold, a strong base to our collaboration,” said Reddy.
Azad Engineering, established in 2008 by first-generation entrepreneur Rakesh Chopdar, is a leading manufacturer of highly engineered complex precision parts for Aerospace, Power Generation and Oil & Gas OEMs. fiinews.com
