Hypertherm is committed to the Indian market
By Bhalchandra Chorghade
Justifying its corporate tagline of ‘Cut with Confidence’, the Hypertherm Cutting Equipment are a ‘cut above the rest’ when it comes to providing state-of-the-art cutting solutions. The US-based company has slowly but steadily spread its wings in India by laying emphasis on after-sales service through a dedicated and qualified staff.
It has been around 45 years since the company started providing cutting solutions to the industry, and year after year, it has been scaling newer heights. Every associate, from engineers to the manufacturing and service teams, is completely focused on providing customers with the best cutting options. In fulfilment of the company’s mission of being a world leader since its first cutting patent nearly half century ago, Hypertherm’s patent wall has been expanding through innovations in plasma, laser and waterjet cutting technologies, and services that help achieve optimal cutting outcome so as to support its customers’ business objectives.
Be it in cutting precision parts in North America, constructing a pipeline in Norway, fabricating agricultural machinery in Brazil, gouging out welds in the mines of South Africa, building a skyscraper in China, or even creating infrastructure in India, one can always count on Hypertherm.
Although Hypertherm products have been sold much earlier, the company entered India in 2007 through Chennai where it has its registered office, and has since witnessed a steady and consistent growth with the support of a committed sales and service team. Talking to CNCTimes on the sidelines of the Weld India Exhibition at New Delhi, Mr Abhinav Sood, the National Sales Leader, stated that the company has been witnessing a consistent growth across all parameters. “Be it business generation or increasing our customer base, we have been successful in reaching out to almost every corner of the country to share our expertise in cutting. Our revenue generation from the Indian market has also been very good and we have been able to do well in this competitive market,” Mr Sood said.
“Hypertherm’s unique selling proposition has always included the provision of good after-sales service and I am happy to say that we have succeeded in maintaining this standard. We are committed to serving the Indian market and maintaining our leadership position when it comes to providing solutions for plasma cutting,” Mr Sood said.
Explaining the company’s services in brief, Mr Sood said that Hypertherm has been the first choice of customers when it comes to plasma cutting solutions. “Our single-minded mission is to provide the best equipment for carrying out cutting activities and this is probably the reason why Hypertherm hold more patents for plasma cutting compared to other manufacturers. In head-to-head tests, Hypertherm systems outperform the competition in key areas, such as consistent cut quality, productivity, and operating cost,” Mr Sood said proudly.
He added that apart from high performance plasma systems, the company’s nesting software, computerised numerical controllers, and torch height controls work together seamlessly to allow customers to get the most out of any cutting operation. “And we are not going to stop here. Though we do not have any immediate expansion plans, we will certainly be expanding when the need and opportunity arise. Our aim is simple — to be the world leader in plasma cutting,” Mr Sood said.
