JK Fenner: Providing a One-Stop Solution for Power Transmission Products, Industrial Solutions & Automation Systems
JK Fenner, a renowned name in the design and manufacture of power transmission products, industrial solutions, and automation systems for the automotive and construction industries, is meeting the needs of major sectors like Steel, Cement, Coal, Sugar, Power, Paper, Textiles, Food Processing, and Agriculture.
JK Fenner has three verticals: the Industrial Product division (IPD), which focuses on hoses and VDS; the Engineered Product division (EPD), which offers gearboxes, pulleys, couplings, and automation solutions; and the Auto Product division (APD), which supplies belts for cars. The company’s core competency lies in designing, developing, manufacturing, validating, and verifying engine drive systems, oil seals, molded rubber products, and hoses for automotive applications, backed by programmable test rigs that simulate customer’s DVPR requirements. The company also provides customized solutions to OEMs, based on their specific needs, including plant-wise customization. Automation solutions start from 200 TPH and go up to 800 TPH.
Says Amit Shukla, Regional Manager (North india), Engineering Business, JK Fenner, “Previously, companies would often source individual components such as gearboxes, automation systems, and motors from different suppliers, which could lead to synchronization issues and a lack of accountability when problems arose. However, we offer a one-stop solution by providing all the components which ensures seamless integration. As an India-based company, we are able to focus on cost while still providing a comprehensive solution to customers. This helps us build a stronger relationship with customers as we are providing them with a more satisfying experience.”
Discussing the evolution of power transmission solutions, Shukla explains, “Earlier, belt drives were used; then companies migrated to gear drives, and now to automation, which is enabling the machine to soft start and the downtime is also reduced. Our automation systems are less dependent on labor, making them more attractive to OEMs and owners. Their ability to offer real-time data and updates to customers via mobile apps allows customers to stay informed and make more informed decisions about their operations.”
JK Fenner has a dedicated R&D facility, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for material development, validation, product design, simulations, and validations. “Our R&D team comprises qualified and experienced professionals. We have invested significantly in our EPD vertical with a focus on gearboxes and automation, which is the future of the industry. We believe that the industry is moving towards Industry 4.0, and our products reflect that trend,” adds Shukla.
JK Fenner has over six decades of experience and is reputed to be the best in the field, avers Shulka. It has a network of 500+ dealers that serve 12 branches across India. Its products are being exported to more than 50 countries worldwide, including Southeast Asia, Nepal, and Bhutan.
