Gates, an active participant right from the first edition of the EXCON, once again put up a stellar show presenting the latest in their portfolio to meet the challenging demands of the customers.

The company has exhibited a range of hydraulic and industrial hoses and power transmission belts used in the various segments of the construction, earthmoving and mining machines.

The MegaSys range of hoses and couplings, the micro V and synchronous belts used on large engines attracted the visitors’attention along with the range of other complimentary products like ball valves, hose protection products and quick couplers. Segment specialist products like Pilot line hoses targeted at the excavator market and AG hose for tipping gear and cranes were appreciated by the customers.

Gates also launched three new products, 20 4XH spiral wire hose, far exceeding the requirements of EN standard, G2XH hose for high temperature air and oil application, a class leading hose for the drilling rig segment and Plaster hose to convey cement and mortar for mechanised plastering. Another highlight was the metal tube and tube /hose hybrid assemblies from the new tube assembly plant at Gates Faridabad. The leak free technologies offered by Gates – ORFS end forming and BSP end forming elicited lot of interest among potential customers.

Even in these challenging times for the infrastructure industry, Gates participation and offering was received well and a number of business opportunities were generated along with feedback from end users.
