One of the most renowned brands in the Indian air spring market, Gibraltar was present as usual at Busworld this year. The Kolkata-based company is the first manufacturer to turn out fully-indigenized air springs, including rubber parts in the country, with an experience of working with air-suspension products for more than two decades in railways, industrial and automotive industries.
Speaking at the expo, the company’s Director – Marketing and Product Development, Mr. Arpan Basu, observed: “Gibraltar saw phenomenal growth in the OEM segment in the last one year. Busworld is a platform where we meet our present and potential customers. With air-suspension in buses becoming mandatory in the country, across all segments and applications, the market is quite upbeat”.
A majority of State transport undertakings, private fleets and OEMs are Gibraltar’s customers, and the brand commands a great reputation in the airspring replacement as well as OEM market.
Mr. Basu further noted that the visitor response at the Busworld this time was phenomenal. “We had quite a number of enquiries on all the three days, especially from fleets and STUs in the Southern region”, he said while affirming that a majority of such customer enquiries will translate into business. The company claims that its strong and reliable distributor and retailer network pan India and its unique technical knowledge and market knowhow make the Gibraltar brand really popular.
“We offer high quality air-suspension bellows of high durability at affordable prices”, claimed Mr. Basu, while adding that Gibraltar has a wide range of bellows to match all bus and truck air suspension systems of all OEMs in the Indian market.
