The sawing tool sector is under increasing pressure with the rapid adoption of precision production and the intense pressure to provide high-performance cutting tools. If we look at India’s market ecosystem, the sawing realm is shifting from low-productivity methods to faster, automated solutions, driven by manpower shortages, downstream automation, and rising steel consumption.
These considerations require smooth production lines to eliminate additional points. Wikus, a German-based technology leader, which was established in India by Mukund Bharadwaj, enables clients to overcome these barriers by developing innovative bandsaw blades, such as bi-metal, carbide-tipped and specialized grit technologies.
Comprehensive Services for the Indian Sawing Industry
Wikus offers an all-inclusive range of services that cater to the various demands of the Indian metalworking industry. Having its head office and assembly facility in Pune, Wikus ensures timely delivery of quality bandsaw blades by maintaining high stock levels. A two-shift assembly plant further strengthens this commitment.
The company operates under a make-to-order model, which ensures that lead time is not more than 72 hours, which enables the company to have enough time to meet the changing market demands.
The company provides an extensive variety of products, such as bi-metal, carbide-tipped and unique diamond and CBN grit band-saws, providing solutions to any metal cutting task imaginable. Their passion towards quality is supported by a sophisticated Industry 4.0 in-line production line in Germany that produces bandsaw coils with unmatched accuracy.
A unique aspect of the company is its application-based strategy, supported by the Paramaster tool. This web-based database provides personalized advice based on material, machine, and desired output. This technical assistance goes further to field testing and performance analysis where best tools are chosen and used.
“Our Paramaster tool, backed by decades of global experience, empowers customers with precise recommendations to enhance productivity”, says Mukund Bharadwaj, Managing Director, Wikus India.
“We don’t just sell tools; we partner with clients to optimize their cutting processes”, he adds. Moreover, the company develops long-term client relationships due to the continuous training in their own academy where the Indian sales team is trained by the German engineers.
In the case of complex requirements, the Technical Competence Center (TCC) in Germany offers advanced support, which guarantees innovative solutions. Through the integration of innovative technology, strong inventory control, and technical support, Wikus has established itself as a credible supplier in the emerging sawing tools industry in India.
