Harsha Engineers International Ltd

About the Company:

Harsha Engineers International Ltd is the largest manufacturer of precision bearing cages, in terms of revenue, in organised sector in India, and amongst the
leading manufacturers of precision bearing cages in the world.

Company offers diversified suite of precision engineering products across geographies and end-user industries.

Company has approximately 50-60% of the market share in the organised segment of the Indian bearing cages market and 6.5% of the market share in the global organised bearing cages market for brass, steel and polyamide cages in CY 2021.

Company offers a wide range of bearing cages starting from 20 mm to 2,000 mm in diameter and our bearing cages find its application in the automotive, railways, aviation & aerospace, construction, mining, agriculture, electrical and electronics, renewables sectors etc.

Company, which housed a team of 253 qualified engineers (including solar EPC business) as of March 31, 2022, along with our decades of experience in bearing cages engineering, enable us to develop specialized products and solutions.

As of March 31, 2022, Company has been able to manufacture more than 7,205 bearing cages and more than 295 other products for customers in the automotive, railways, aviation & aerospace, construction, mining, agriculture, electrical and electronics, renewables sectors, allowing us to meet changing customer requirements.

In addition, over the past three years our product development and innovation centre has developed more than 1,200 products in different bearing types.

 

 

Products manufactured by the Company:

  • Bearing Cages.
  • Steel Cages.
  • Brass Cages.
  • Polyamide Cages.

 

 

Parent group Company:

Company is part of the Harsha Group which was established in 1986 and has over 35 years of operating history in the engineering business.

Harsha Engineering International Ltd, was incorporated in 2010 as Harsha Abakus Solar Private Ltd in order to consolidate the Harsha Group’s India engineering and solar EPC business, and to get the benefits of synergies,

 

Company’s business comprises:

(i) engineering business, under which we manufacture bearing cages (in brass, steel and polyamide materials), complex and specialised precision stamped components, welded assemblies and brass castings and cages & bronze bushings.

(ii) solar EPC business, under which we provide complete comprehensive turnkey solutions to all solar photovoltaic requirements.

 

 

Electrification of Vehicles:

While the automotive segment is shifting towards the electric vehicles, we believe its impact on harsha engineers will be limited as company is not manufacturing needle bearings cages which are engine components.

Needle cages bearing used in engines and small cage bearing used in two and three wheelers are likely to be the most impacted type of bearings due to increasing penetration of electric vehicles.

Further, we believe that the electrification of vehicles will increase the precision requirements sought by customers which will help companies like harsha engineers to further improve their market share in the sector.

 

 

 

Manufacturing of Bearing cage:

Bearing cage is an important component within a bearing and requires the highest lead time for development and technical and tooling expertise for its manufacture when compared to other components of a bearing.

Given the critical function of a bearing cage, and the resultant quality requirements, global bearing companies have steadily increased outsourcing for manufacturing of bearing cages and the business from these bearing companies has gotten concentrated to a few bearing cage manufacturers including Harsha Engineers Ltd.

 

 

Key Customers:

Company has established strong customer relationship with leading global bearing manufacturers in the automotive, railways, renewable energy and other industrial
sectors.

Additionally, company has been involved by key customer groups in their product development process from the design stage and accordingly, company has been able to ensure repeat orders from customers.

Each of our top five customer groups (excluding customers’ contributing to revenue from scrap sales) have been customers for over a decade.

 

 

Company’s Manufacturing facilities:

Company has four strategically located manufacturing facilities for engineering business with one of our principal manufacturing facilities at Changodar and one at Moraiya, near Ahmedabad in Gujarat in India, and one manufacturing unit each at Changshu, China and Ghimbav Brasov in Romania.
