IT, procurement, R&D and manu-
facturing. Danfoss’ key offces in
India, which are currently located in
Chennai, Mumbai, Gurgaon (New
Delhi), Bangalore and Ahmedabad,
will be maintained and new loca-
tions are likely to be added to extend
sales coverage.
Danfoss has a long track record
of doing business in India. From
1964 to 1991, it sold its products via
an Indian joint venture partner. In
1991, as India embarked on an eco-
nomic reform program that opened
up the economy, Danfoss expanded
its presence selling its products via
a network of distributors. In 1998, it
established its own sales company,
Danfoss India, which currently em-
ploys 204 people.
India is already a major contribu-
tor to Danfoss growth and proftabil-
ity. In 2010, Danfoss India reported
sales of 380 million DKK, and in
2011 this is expected to grow sig-
nifcantly. w
Danfoss VLT drives are
highly energy-efficient
As a preferred supplier
within textile industries,
Danfoss which participat-
ed in ITMA 2011 focused
on developing long-term
partnerships with its cus-
tomers to provide signif-
cant value through ener-
gy-effcient and process
optimization solutions.
The yearly production
of Danfoss VLT drives
annually saves the same
amount of energy that is
generated by an average
size power plant.
Danfoss VLT drives help save
energy and reduce CO 2 emissions.
They improve the effciency of proc-
esses and the up-time of machinery
and help in improving safety and
working condition. The VLT drives
have a number of features to im-
prove tolerance towards low quality
supplies, adding even more reliabil-
ity to the process.
Mr. PL. Palanisamy, Head, Na-
tional Sales - Industry OEM, Dan-
foss Industries Pvt. Ltd., said: The
focus on the textile industry sends a
very strong message to the market.
We showcased innovative cooling
concepts designed for high ambient
temperature and low heat loss (high
effciency)”.
VLT drives are designed to meet
all the challenging environment in
textile manufacturing units. They
are designed to be extremely reli-
able and easy to connect, operate
and service. Today these drives are
used in ring spinning, circular knit-
ting, cone winding, fabric dyeing
and other textile applications.
“At ITMA, we had visitors from
India, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia,
China, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey
and many more. We had more Indi-
an visitors both from man-made and
natural fbre industries”, said Mr.
Palanisamy.
“Winning Indian market is very
important for Danfoss. It brings a
strong growth opportunity for Dan-
foss. We will soon develop our
Project Sales Support Centre out
of India. Currently we have started
a Project Sales Pilot in India and
Australia, to create a full scale tem-
plate and process model for Project
Sales”, he added. w
