The Company completed strategic acquisitions (at a cost of Rs., 80.000 millions) of Kirloskar Systems in Dec 15, ’97 with a aim of synergy of activity of transformer business with switchgear business. The Company has undertaken a business restructuring activity and thereby it has transferred its Rotating Machines Group business to it subsidiary Kaytee Switchgear Private Limited.

It participated in the development of specialised mobile power set for the Prithvi missiles project, supplied and commissioned 10 cu mtr of excavator electric’s, the biggest in the country and a total electric system package to the Maniyar Mini Hydel plant.

 

The takeover of Voltas Transformers, Pune, has enabled the company to establish a significant presence in the cast resin transformers market.

The only constant they know that this world is changing. Change has come to Indian Industry like a sweeping tornado transforming the industrial environment and giving indigenous industry some very tough global standards to measure up to. In this testing situation only the fittest have the wherewithal to survive. And only the best will thrive.

 

That Kirloskar Electric has not only survived but has grown in confidence, capabilities, range and were scope is a testimony to the inherent strength of its foundation as a company that once set out to revolutionized India's agricultural sector with value engineering.

 

The difference is in the collective outlook of people trained to look upon every challenge as a platform from which to take giant leaps in quality and performance. And in so doing, to build on core capabilities of power engineering and upgrade them to world standards.

 

It all began when the visionary founder Laxman Rao Kirloskar created the first Iron plough for the Indian farmer.His involvement with agriculture led him to make the first pump then the prime movers for the pumps. Since then KEC corporate goal has been to look into the future and engineer products that time would eventually demand.

 

In order to do this, Ravi L Kirloskar, second – generation entrepreneur, son of the visionary, built a bank of prime technological skills and capabilities. And a state of art facility that has since then continuously reinvented itself to meet the changing demands of a changing market – just that one step ahead of time.

 

Today as a lean, innovative and aggressive power in value engineering, Kirloskar Electric is well into its tryst with world market with an offering that has strong roots in a traditional value base and comes with the inherent brand qualities of trustworthiness and complete customer satisfaction.

 

Moving smoothly from agricultural sector to industry, to transport, to defense, to power generation, Kirloskar Electric products have had more than a significant contribution to make to India 's rapidly evolving

economy. With long years of innovative application behind it, Kirloskar Electric finds itself completely capable of delivering a range of custom engineered products that meet and exceed global standards at very competitive prices.

 

The ready acceptance of the products in USA, Europe, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, China, Singapore, South Africa, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, along with the hard to earn certification by world's leading companies, are the direct result of an on going process. Of streamlining, redefining and recreating of processes, design and test parameters to Six Sigma and other stringent quality measures. Along with innovation as a way of life and willingness to take up any challenging customization project and making it a success. So much so that they are in the process of changing out market definition from 90:100 to 40:60 domestic to export ratio. Contract manufacturing, turnkey projects, customized products and testing facilities form the current export profile.

 

Today as a lean, innovative and aggressive power in value engineering, Kirloskar Electric is well into its tryst with world market with an offering that has strong roots in a traditional value base and comes with the inherent brand qualities of trustworthiness and complete customer satisfaction.

 

As a third generation custodian of Kirloskar brand values. I know what is to take a personal pride and satisfaction in doing the best one can collectively. And to never say no to a good full blooded challenge thrown the way.

 

The attitude has led to an enviable and growing list of customers that reads like Fortune 500 of the world.

 

The power of now is the energy of opportunities that comes to us disguised as challenges. The power of now at Kirloskar Electric is the dynamics of making them work as such at growing us as in meeting the client's tough specifications of cost and quality.

 

At Kirloskar Electric they bank on the power of now, much as they bank on the capacity to stretch and grow with customization calls that a few others will attempt.
