The galvanized pipes are used mainly for drinking water applications or for structural applications with requirement for protection from rust.

Cutting Tool Division

Machine Tools Industry of the company is split into two segments viz. Cutting Tools and Metal Working Tools (machinery & equipment). Organized players are better equipped to provide high-end customized tools than the unorganized players. The unorganized players compete fiercely for a small market. Milling cutters, reamers and chaser segments have significant competition from unorganized segment. Gear Cutting Tools are fully dominated by organized sector with marginal unorganized share.

The basic operations include boring, forming, cut-off and parting, drilling, grooving, hobbing, milling, sawing, shearing and cutting, tapping, threading, turning, and brake rotor turning. These operations find major application in automotive and other capital good industries.Indian Tool Manufacturers Limited (ITM) was incorporated in 1937 by British Company and then acquired by Birlas in 1939.

With the Technical improvement of the Plant the License capacity of the Plant has reassessed by Government of India at 91000 TPA and with the Installed Capacity of 120000 TPA.

Rolls & Shear Division

In the year 1974 it entered into a Technical collaboration with American Shear Knives Company, USA for the manufacture of Industrial Knives and Rollers. The said agreement was expired in 1980 but the company continued to manufacture the said product on its own. Due to high cost of manufacturing and adverse market condition our company has closed down the Division in the yea1995-96.

Special Steel Division

During 1974-75 it diversified its activities by installing 10/12 Tonnes Electric arc furnace and two stands continue casting machine to manufacture Steel billets with a capacity of 18000 TPA at Khopoli.

In 1981, it diversified its activities by setting up a paper plant at Hoshiarpur, Punjab with a capacity of 9,900 TPA, which was enhanced, subsequently to 16,500 TPA. This division faced several problems in its initial stages because of the prevailing situation, non-availability of power and difficulty in retaining experienced and qualified personnel. It approached BIFR and as per the approved rehabilitation Scheme, It had to incur heavy capital expenditure to make it viable.

The operation of this plant was adversely effected till 1983-84 mainly due to sluggish market for Dye-Intermediates on account of prolonged strike of Textile Unit in Maharashtra. The Operation of this division was improved after 1984-85 as our company started exporting the material. In November 1987, It entered into a technical collaboration agreement with Sitraco s.r.1.Italy for improving the productivity and updating the technology of the plant.
