As India increases its manufacturing capabilities across sectors such as aerospace and automotive, the demand for automation in manufacturing, improved accuracy, efficiency, and productivity is also rising. These evolving market trends are promoting innovation in press technology, along with sophistication of safety systems.
Within this realm, Mercury Pneumatics Pvt. Ltd., established in 1980 by the late Noel Rasquinha, father of Hydropneumatics in India, is positioned as a trailblazer leading the pneumatic machines market through innovation, as reflected in its motto ‘leadership through innovation’.
An ISO 9001:2015 certified organization with heavy investments in cutting-edge technology and innovation, Mercury Pneumatics has established a reputation for producing pneumatic products that meet the evolving industry demands, bringing world-class quality and latest designs at an affordable price for Indian consumers.
Quality Conscious Innovation
Mercury Pneumatics, inspired by the principals and values embedded into the firm’s ethos by its founder, designs a broad range of products encompassing pneumatic cylinders, hydro-pneumatic presses, hydro-pneumatic pumps, as well as other special products for OEM applications.
The company’s special ‘T’ rings design spool valves have stood the test of time, initially launched in 1980, and a staple till date. Mercury’s design efforts prioritize product efficiency, which
is assured through proprietary energy-saving devices and upgrading the control systems to match industry 4.0 standards. This approach has positioned Mercury Pneumatics at the forefront of technology integration in hydro pneumatic presses and associated systems.
An industry veteran, Mercury Pneumatics offers customers the ability to add over 20 features into the machines it develops providing a level of controland customizability to ensure suitability to the unique business needs as well as maximizing functionality. The features are designed to cater to online quality controls, better security, and increased productivity, and additional attachments that simplify linking the machines with other automation systems.
“In the Automation Expo 2024 held in Mumbai, we showcased our latest IOT systems which can be used by customers to monitor the productivity, efficiency as well as reliability of the machines as well as production lines”, shares Dieter Rasquinha, Managing Director, Mercury Pneumatics.
Aligned with the changing industry demands, the firm not only focuses on the design and functionality of its solutions, but also prioritizes quality, subjecting every product through a cycle of verifications and assessments. The company tailors the test rigs to simulate real-world conditions, exposing the products to operating parameters where their utilization can be tested with accuracy.
A robust QC system which is integrated into Mercury Pneumatics’ ERP helps ascertain that every part is created as required, and deviations are identified and rectified early on, preventing glitches and deformities from compromising the products.

Future Roadmap
Mercury Pneumatics has come a long way in defining the path of the pneumatic press industry. It is the first organization to introduce Hydro pneumatic technology in India in 1989 and educate the industry on the advantages of this technology. Over the years, the company has performed over 25,000 installations of the same.
As it envisions the future, the company has a vision to grow to new heights, using the strong foundation laid by its founder to strategize efforts for advancing. It is targeting expansion across sectors including railways, defence, and EVs, and geographies where hydro-pneumatic are still less known. With these goals, Mercury Pneumatics has charted an ambitious and intensive future roadmap, poised to position it as a global leader.
