Impact of the slowdown...

“Companies will emerge well-organised and strong
in manufacturing systems”

In any economic slowdown or recession, the first sector to be negatively impacted is the capital goods sector. Machine tools being capital goods, the impact was felt much before the recession started setting in. As the capital expenditure was put on hold, the sale of machine tools dropped drastically in the last quarter of the financial year 2008-09. Sales have remained subdued till this date. The dispatches have dropped down to around 65 per cent among various manufacturers in India.

Trishul Machine Tools Pvt Ltd

Trishul Machine Tool Pvt. Ltd. began as a tiny industry with a very meager investment in the year 1994.

It developed the Polygon turning Machine in the year 1995 and today it is solely catering to the entire requirement of Polygon Turning Machines to the Indian manufacturing industry.

The Polygon Turning machine was originally designed as a special purpose machine to meet specific requirements of the customers. Over a period of time with the increase of orders, the need for standardization became imperative. The company then took up a major task of standardization of the product range. The products were standardized into 3 distinct models to meet the price performance ratio of the customers.
