LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Website Details :

 

Subject, established in 1992, is a subsidiary of Tractors and Farm Equipment Ltd. Initially, the activities were focused on making available the agricultural implements and tractor accessories which can be hooked to TAFE Tractors, to facilitate productive farming. These products are vended through TAFE Dealer Network.

 

To meet the need of the farming community for a reliable lubricant for their tractors, TAFE Genuine Oil was formulated and introduced in 1994 in special tamper-proof packs for use throughout the year for both engine as well as for transmission. This product, initially introduced in 5 Litre pack, is made available in more convenient packages like 1 Litre, 5 Litre, 20 Litre and 210 Litre to meet the growing demand for this popular product.

 

The Company entered the phase of diversification, commencing with the production of Dashboard Instruments in 1995, followed by manufacture of Hydraulic Pumps, both for MF/TAFE tractors. Since then, the Dashboard Instruments are being produced for Heavy Duty Trucks as well as for two-wheelers.

 

Company’s fixed assets include Buildings on leasehold land, Plant and Machinery, Computers, Furniture and Fixtures and Vehicles.
