Bengal
Tools Limited started its operation in 1966
by establishing design and manufacturing
facilities for various kinds of press tools,
jigs & fixtures and form tools. In the
initial stages our clients were Hindustan
Motors Limited, Remington Rand, Philips,
Guesttetner, Oriental General Industries
and TELCO. This business tapered down over
the years as many of the companies started
their own tool making. |
|
|
Around
1970 BTL looked for diversification and started
their search for large-scale alternate business
available in the country. Then BTL located
that Defense Organizations were purchasing
a large amount of various equipment for their
needs. BTL’s
break-through came from an order for Mobile
Corrosive Acid Handling Plant. It was quickly
followed up Concertina for Border Fencing,
Portable Chain Saw and Portable Wood Borear. |
|
|
By this
time BTL’s Press Tool business started
coming down and it would not have been prudent
to rely only on Defence. So in 1974 BTL struck
a technical collaboration with Tempered Tools
of Sheffield for manufacture of shear blades.
This product of BTL is still being received
well by customers like all major steel plants,
paper mills and a host of general engineering
industries. |
|
|
When
the above production stabilized and management
strengthened, BTL realized that it had room
for some new products. At that time Larsen & Tubro
approached BTL to develop Air Pre-Heater
Basket for Renusagar Power Plant. This
product was successfully designed and developed & since
1976 BTL has been suppling Air Pre-heater
Baskets to all major Indian power plants
and captive Plants belonging to Steel Plants. |
|
|
In 1980, BTL diversified into design and supply of Material Handling Plant and the first Order was received from Heavy Engineering Corporation, Ranchi for Plate Mill of Bhilai Steel Plant. |
|
|
In 1984
BTL ventured into turnkey installation of
Coal Handling Plants and the first order
was received from Eastern Coal Fields for
its Tilaboni Mines. Next two jobs were from
Bhaskar Shrachi and Eastern Coal Fields |
|
|
Simultaneously
BTL also developed a design for gear boxes
and is now an established manufacturer of
Gear Boxes of up to 110 KW. |
|
|
BTL continued its business with Defense and gradually got the following orders: |
| |
|
| a) |
|
Mat Ground surfacing of various capacity and applications. |
| b) |
|
Pre-Fabricated shelter
(light, medium and plain). |
| c) |
|
Mechanical Mine Layer
Equipment. |
| d) |
|
Water Purification
Plant Portable. |
| e) |
|
Spares and components for Kruppman Bridge. |
|
|
|
With
stabilized management practices, quality
control systems and systemization of procedures
BTL is now looking forward to export marketing.
BTL is also in the lookout for technical
collaboration in the field of Air Pre-Heater
Basket, Material Handling Plant, Heat Exchangers,
Gear Boxes or any other engineering products,
which can be manufactured in large quantities
and sold in the Core Industries. |
