How was your overall experience at IMME 2024? Could you share your thoughts on the exhibition in terms of participation, networking opportunities, and visitor engagement?

Overall good arrangements. However due to cyclone warning over West Bengal & Odisha, foot fall was not, as expected. Quality of footfall was good and we definitely had good leads towards our future business prospects.

We too experienced good quality and inquisitive footfall at our stall, who were eager to see what Groz delivers in every IMME Exhibition, with its international range of new products!

Which products or solutions did you highlight at the exhibition? What feedback did you receive from potential clients or partners regarding your showcased offerings?

We as usual displayed most of our new arrivals that we have already launched in the international markets. Got extremely good response to our, new range of greasing, Diesel & DEF dispensing equipment/ solution. We also displayed our new range of LED lights and indestructible hammers. 

What are the latest technological innovations in mining equipment / component / product that your company is focusing on? Could you elaborate on how these innovations align with current industry needs?

We manufacture equipment that helps service these giant machines used in heavy duty mining applications to operate smoothly in the toughest conditions. Like heavy-duty battery-operated greasing equipment, which can help greasing these machines at its best which in turn improves productivity and performance of the overall site operations. Also, high precision fuelling equipment that is needed on the spot for any quick fuel transfer with accurate measurement and reliable repeatability. 

Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) are gaining traction in the mining industry. How is your company adapting to the increasing emphasis on sustainable mining practices and ESG requirements in your product offerings?

Eco-friendly mining equipment and their service equipment goes side by side. As already mentioned during my earlier interview. We ensure every product that comes from the house of Groz is strictly as per standard ESG norms set in each and every country that we conduct our business; not only as a major domestic player but also as a leading and proud exporter from India.  

In terms of challenges, what operational or market-related issues do you foresee in the mining equipment and component sector? How is your company planning to address these challenges?

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.

Looking ahead, what are your company’s goals for the next 2-3 years in the Indian and global mining markets?

Latest innovation keeping in mind the change in worldwide mining ecosystem and keeping us ahead with latest product launch, is the only long term and sustainable goal of Groz!

We stand committed to the same and shall deliver the latest and smartest operating / servicing equipment for all major mining companies and their mining equipment across the globe.
