Product quality is high on the priority list of any reputable manufacturer. Whether your business manufacturers finished articles or components for other business to incorporate into their products, the risks are the same: if your production equipment fails, your business quickly transitions from a profitable organisation to a loss-making company. Many businesses used to keep a healthy level of reserve stock in the warehouse to ensure their customers are never let down in the event of an unplanned break in production. But as competition increases and margins erode, most businesses choose to tie up as little cash in stockholding as…
The global industrial lubricants market is poised for steady growth, with projections estimating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. From its 2023 valuation of US$22.7 billion, the market is expected to reach US$31.3 billion by 2030. Industrial lubricants play a crucial role across various industries, acting as a vital component in machinery maintenance and performance optimization. By reducing friction, heat, and wear between mechanical parts, they enhance operational efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure the smooth functioning of industrial operations. Industrial lubricants are formulated by blending base oils with additives to impart specific characteristics, such as thermal stability,…
India’s aerospace and defence industry is undergoing a historic transformation, driven by a robust push for modernization and indigenization under the “Make in India” and “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives. As one of the largest importers of military equipment and technology, India has recognized the strategic importance of developing a self-reliant defence ecosystem. This transition not only aims to reduce dependency on foreign suppliers but also seeks to establish India as a major global player in aerospace and defence manufacturing. With substantial investments and supportive policy reforms, India is positioning itself for long-term growth and self-sufficiency in this critical sector. India’s Modernization…
Aerospace manufacturing has long been at the forefront of innovation, particularly when it comes to creating lightweight, high-performance parts.
