With its high innovative technology, Shalimar Precision Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., the Delhi-based ISO 9001 certified company, has now emerged one of the leading manufacturers of trailer and tipper components mainly for use in the country’s fast growing aftermarket segment. With its existing range of axles, suspensions and landing gears, the company is also foraying into a wider range of allied parts and aims to be a one shop destination for trailer requirements. The transporters using its axles feel that the products are really durable with very low annual maintenance due to the low cost of replacement parts that are available in over 6,000 outlets across the country. To further aid its customers, Shalimar is now coming out with its own range of specialized greases.

The company has also recently forayed into the bus segment by developing air springs and air suspension systems for the bus body builder segment. The response for the new products has been quite encouraging. As for air suspensions, the product is undergoing trials with leading bus operators in the country and the company is fully confident of gaining a sizeable market share in this segment as it looks to target the OEM segment as well in future.

Since Shalimar’s major focus is on northern India where the vehicle density is the highest in the country, it continues to increase its volume of sales in the region by launching several new products in the commercial vehicles segment. Mr. Rahul Kochhar, Executive Director, Shalimar Precision. says that the company aims at bringing out several new, modified components of better quality and branding, backed with better service facilities for both the bus and trailer segments in the near future.
