This marks HIDRAL’s first operational entry into India, with the alliance focused exclusively on co-developing and servicing a new generation of 1,000–3,000 kg freight elevators engineered for Indian industrial and warehousing applications.
“India is experiencing accelerated growth in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and e-commerce infrastructure — all of which demand safer, robust, and reliable freight lift systems,” said Florencio Chacartegui Gómez - Director General, HIDRAL S.A. “Partnering with Gilco enables us to merge proven European engineering with India-specific operating realities.”
To accelerate knowledge transfer and project execution, HIDRAL has positioned its technical delegate in India to work alongside Gilco’s engineering and project teams.
“This collaboration is a step toward building India’s most reliable industrial freight elevator category, one shaped by global safety norms and Indian heavy-duty application needs,” said Aman Moudgil, Managing Director, Gilco Global Pvt. Ltd. “The focus is clear, co-creating 1,000 to 3,000 kg freight lift solutions that Indian industry can trust.”
Both companies confirmed that this engagement forms the foundation for a joint manufacturing program in India, aimed at delivering:
- European-grade safety and design
- Robust performance suited to Indian industrial loading cycles
- Optimized costing for local applications
- Local service support and parts availability
