What products or solutions are you showcasing at this edition of bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2024? What is your focus during the exhibition?

Groz being a global innovator and amongst the world leader in providing a vast range of servicing equipment & solutions for large mining equipment, will display all of its star products related to construction and allied sectors. This includes show casing all our latest greasing equipment, pneumatic tools, storage solutions, LED worklights, industrial Hammers, professional hand tools and fuel handling equipment that we have launched on to the world market and we stand by our commitment of providing most optimise results by usage of all our product lines by any quality conscious users in India too!

 

What are your expectations for participating in bauma CONEXPO INDIA 2024? How do you plan to engage with visitors and stakeholders at the exhibition? Are there any specific goals or outcomes you are hoping to achieve from this event?

We have two key expectations:

Gain further insights into the latest industry trends, customer demand and challenges, and discuss how Groz products may benefits users with our high-performance product line with unmatched quality, robust build and reliability by making them experience our products first hand.

We also look forward to as many industrial and workshop users to tie up with us and also prospective channel partners for retail, workshop and industrial coverage to be our dedicated business partners!

 

Sustainability is an increasingly important factor in this sector. What is your approach to sustainability, and how does it integrate with your product offerings?

Green/electric construction machinery and their service equipment go hand in hand. At Groz, we are committed to ensuring that every product we manufacture adheres strictly to the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) norms established in each country where we conduct business. This commitment reflects our dedication to sustainability and ethical practices. We take pride in being a significant player in the domestic market and a leading exporter from India, consistently upholding these standards to contribute positively to the global community.

 

Are there any regulatory or policy changes that you anticipate will impact the construction equipment and allied sector soon?

Upcoming regulatory changes in India and globally will focus on infrastructure investment, stricter environmental and safety standards, and the adoption of AI and digital tools. I believe these shifts should certainly aid the construction industry in enhancing sustainability, efficiency, operational output and safety in the construction equipment sector.

 

What are some of the key factors that you believe will shape the future of the construction equipment and allied industry in India, and how is your company preparing for them considering its expansion plans in India?

There are several factors including rapid urbanization, significant infrastructure development, and increased government investment in projects like highways, airports, and affordable housing. Additionally, the adoption of advanced technologies, such as AI and IoT, and a focus on sustainability and environmental regulations will drive innovation and efficiency not only in construction equipment space, but also tools and engineering solutions that focus on minimizing equipment downtime, enhancing their productivity, repeatability and reliability.

As an international player, we expect faster adaption of latest equipment & trends by the Indian mining companies! It seems it is still taking time compared to many advance countries like USA/ Japan/ Australia ECT.
