Sparkonix (India) Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading companies manufacturing Electric Discharge Machines in India. A pioneer in the Indian market, Sparkonix introduced the spark erosion technology back in 1968 with its indigenous development of Metal Arc Disintegrators. It was a key break-through for the technology starved Indian manufacturers heavily dependent on imports. Sparkonix’s EDM technology that was developed to be an import substitute for Indian market has continued to evolve and lead the market for the past four decades.
“Sparkonix has always excelled at sensing the pulse of Indian customers.”, says Shailesh Patwardhan, Director Marketing at Sparkonix. To serve the evolving needs of Indian customers, Sparkonix has added over forty new features to its EDMs in the last two years. More importantly, all these valuable features come without any significant increase in price.
Outlining the key shift in the EDM market, Shailesh highlights that “Today, EDMs are being categorized as a must-have technology in any tool room or large manufacturing set-up, as opposed to good-to-have machines in the past. This means, the needs of the customers have also changed significantly. At Sparkonix, we have developed cutting-edge features that enhance the performance, reliability and durability of the machine in view of the emerging needs of the customers.”
Another emerging trend is that of customized EDMs. Sparkonix has been at the forefront of developing customized EDMs for highly specific needs of the customers. “We see a lot of traction in areas like defense, where specialized component manufacturing has to be catered to by developing customized EDMs.”, says Ramesh Patwardhan, Director Technology at Sparkonix. The fact that more than one-fourth of Sparkonix’s business comes from customized EDMs speaks volumes on company’s capabilities.
With over 3,000 customers, cutting edge R&D, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and excellent service infrastructure, Sparkonix leads the way for EDMs in India. Sparkonix’s journey to develop world-class technology in EDMs has been a cornerstone in the import-dependent machine tool market in India.
