How has the current slowdown impacted the construction equipment industry?
The slowdown was temporary in my opinion and it has culminated in August 2019. Post August 2019, I don’t feel there is much to worry about. Its business as usual, we are getting good orders from the Indian market. The demand for high speed rebar processing centres in India is huge. To address this demand the company has entered with a dealership agreement with TYF Machinery China. TYF is the pioneer in high quality & reliable CNC rebar processing machinery manufacturer and leading supplier to all corporate companies and contractors in China and various other countries from 1988.

TYF manufactures high speed CNC rebar processing machines: stirrup benders, shear lines, double bender/CNC bending centre, pile cage/square & rectangle cage (columns & beams) making machines, lattice girder, weld mesh plant and straightening cutting machines.
