History and Evolution


Subject was established in 1987 at Chennai, as a Joint venture and Technical Collaboration with Keld Ellentoft A/S, Denmark (later known as KE-Burgmann A/S) with a 60% holding by the Indian promoters. During the 10 years of Technical Collaboration from 1987 up to 1998 with their European partners, KEI assimilated all necessary expertise for selection, designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing of Non Metallic Expansion Joints.


In June 2000, the Indian promoters bought over KE-Burgmann’s shares in Subject and acquired complete control of the company.


The experience gained by subject, trained manpower and well-documented systems guarantee its customers a high degree of quality and dependability in design and selection of materials, delivery and a high degree of customer satisfaction.

 

Infrastructure

Subject has a well developed manufacturing set up at Chennai, India where it has a well-developed infrastructure for design, testing, manufacturing and assembly of expansion joints with experienced sub vendors for supply of steel parts. Subject has two manufacturing units at Chennai having a floor area of nearly 37,000 Sq. Ft.

Subject has a fully equipped laboratory to test all the fabric being used in the manufacturing of Non Metallic Expansion Joints. This ensures that quality checks are introduced right from the beginning ensure reduction / elimination or error in the final product.

As a part of Subject’s self reliance and a backward integration strategy, Subject has developed its own infrastructure for manufacturing the basic fabric materials used in Expansion Joints, equivalent to international standards at Kharagpur, West Bengal. Regular interaction is carried out with the esteemed and famous institution, Indian Institute of Technology - Kharagpur, for product development. Subject has exported many of its expansion joints made from these fabrics to customers in USA, Europe, Middle East Asia, Africa, South East Asia and Australia.

Quality and Service

 

In the past 20 years, Subject has earned the reputation as the QUALITY supplier of Non Metallic Expansion Joints along with reliable SERVICE back up. The number of repeat orders from Original Equipment Manufacturers and End Users is a testimony of our Quality and Service. In January 2003, the company has been awarded


Subject has a fully equipped laboratory to test all the fabric being used in the manufacturing of Non Metallic Expansion Joints. This ensures that quality checks are introduced right from the beginning ensure reduction / elimination or error in the final product.

Training and Personnel

Subject’s Marketing and Service personnel undergo very rigorous in-plant training before they are put into service. Training includes understanding the product, its applications, selection and sizing, failure analysis etc. They are trained well to the extent that all of them can interact with the equipment suppliers – discuss with the suppliers from the Engineering stage – provide necessary advice and guidance for optimal use and application of Non Metallic Expansion Joints. This has resulted in fostering a PARTNER relationship with all major equipment suppliers.

Apart from continuous internal training at all level, personnel at Subject are encouraged to attend seminars and workshops, which help in personal development.

Service

 

Subject, apart from supplying the expansion joint as a product, has also developed skills to study the entire system as a whole to recommend solutions for optimized usage of supports, structures and the number of expansion joints in the entire system. All technical team members have been trained to study the layout and provide optimal solutions. Subject team can assist from concept to commissioning – by undertaking the supervision of installation of expansion joints.

In addition, Subject can also undertake to study specific problems arising from associated equipment to offer tailor made solutions. For example – Subject has developed special designs for Diesel Generator applications – to withstand the high pulsation along with the thermal movements, vibrations and chemical attack. This specific application was, till then, considered as an area not suitable for Non Metallic Expansion joints.

Similarly, Subject can also undertake retrofitting damaged or leaking Metallic Expansion Joints on a complete turnkey basis. Damaged Metallic Bellows constitute a major cause for financial loss in process plants – due to loss of energy by the leakage from / to the system. Many Thermal Power plants and Chemical plants in India have reaped the benefit of retrofitting the damaged Metallic bellows with Non Metallic Fabrics with the turnkey service.

Further, Subject can also undertake the ownership of expansion joints – in large process plants, irrespective of the original source, and maintain the same to enable the customer to operate his plant without any outages due to the expansion joints. A Comprehensive Service Program can be offered depending upon the number and type of expansion joints in the plant.
