Innoventive Industries Limited
Innoventive Industries Limited, the flagship company of the Group was promoted by a group of first generation technocrat entrepreneurs led by Mr Chandu Chavan, the Chairman & Managing Director. With a modest beginning as a small unit for manufacturing ERW and CDW precision tubes, Innoventive Industries today owns five ‘state of the art’ manufacturing facilities located around Pune, India. Employing nearly 680 people, our plant at the village ‘Pimple Jagtap’ near Pune is recognized as a ‘Megaproject’ by Government of Maharashtra.
Despite upheavals and challenges in the steel manufacturing industry in the last decade, Innoventive Industries has maintained its growth trajectory by both organic and inorganic ways through continuous innovation in products and processes, enrichment of product portfolio, entering different markets and strategic acquisitions in India and in USA.
Our in-house R&D efforts led to a breakthrough innovation of our globally patented ‘Cold Pilgering’ process to make CDW / DOM tubes directly from ERW tubes without using draw bench. This process results in substantial savings in time, energy, costs and wastages and provides tubes with better surface finish‚ dimensional accuracy and strength. Innoventive Industries Limited takes pride in being the only company in the world that manufactures and markets Cold Pilgered Precision Welded tubes. Innoventive is a preferred source of ERW and CDW / DOM precision tubes to leading automotive companies in India and abroad.
Another breakthrough innovation led us to the capability of manufacturing narrow width boiler fins that are used in the power industry. We cater to the requirements of all the major global boiler manufacturers. Our Auto division is the single source of components to world’s leading two/three/four wheeler automobile manufacturers.
Our continuous focus and thrust on innovation and cost efficient R&D has led to the development of niche products that differentiates us by giving a competitive edge over our peers.
Innoventive Industries Limited has three Divisions: Tube Division, Strips Division and Auto Division
Tube Division
The Tube Division manufactures precision welded tubes. Starting its operations by manufacturing “Electrical Resistance Welded Tubes (ERW)”‚ it moved up the value chain by making “Cold Drawn Welded Tubes (CDW)” also called as “Drawn over Mandrel (DOM)”. Its DOM tubes satisfy widely followed ASTM 513, DIN 2393‚ EN 10305 and JIS standards.
Innoventive’s customer oriented approach, its unique pilgering technology and thrust on R&D enable it to manufacture low D/T tubes‚ very high strength tubes‚ high wall thickness tubes that find application in innovative products such as Propeller Shafts‚ Cam Shafts‚ Rocker Arm Shafts‚ Anti-Roll Bars‚ Hydraulic Cylinder Tubes‚ Gas Spring Tubes‚ Drag Linkages‚ Special Profile Tubes and Bearing Spacers. It is the only company in India to have mastered the skill of manufacturing lemon profile tubes.
The Tube Division manufactures a range of precision steel tubes and value added products which find applications in automobiles, boilers, heaters, power and energy and general engineering segments. It is a preferred source of precision tubes and products to domestic as well as export markets such as North & South Americas, the UK and Europe and the Middle East. It sells its DOM tubes in the USA under the brand name ARIDOM™. It has been supplying premium products to global customers such as Salem Steel (North America) ‚ Volvo Eicher, GKN (UK/Europe) ‚ Bajaj Auto ancillaries, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Volkswagen.
Innoventive is the first company in the world to produce a Bi-metallic tube also known as ‘Composite tube’ through our patented “Cold-Pilgering Technology”. It gives flawless cladding between two different metal tubes and we envision a wide scope of applications for these tubes in various industries in the coming future. The company is expecting an approval in near future for its patent filed for Bi-metallic tube.
