WCI: What kind of industry are you referring to?
MP: Drawn bars producers, automotive industry, aerospace industry, and general machinery industry; We produce all the cold finishing equipment downstream of the rolling mills or extrusion presses so that the final product can be directly used in the industry.
WCI: Enquiries concerns all the metals or are there some exceptions?
MP: Of course, the majority of the requirement comes from the steel industry, but we are very often dealing with the copper, brass, aluminum industries, and more recently the titanium industry.
WCI: Your experience about the Indian market
MP: At this moment, we have considerable enquiries from the Indian market. It is a very interesting market as other markets around the world have either completely stopped or slowed down much whereas India is still alive. We therefore are very much interested in this market.
