Four new distribution agreements strengthen Metso’s local presence in India’s flow control markets

Metso strengthens its presence in India with the signing of four non-exclusive distribution agreements for its valve products. The agreements with Fluidline Systems, General Energy Management Systems Ltd (GEMSL), SB Enterprise and Proflo Systems expand the coverage of Metso’s Neles® and Jamesbury® product families into different regions and industries in the growing markets of India. The distribution network will also provide support in services.

Neles NDX has been designed to save time and resources and it is suited for a wide range of valves.

The agreements were signed during the first half of 2017. All the partnering distributors have already received orders for valves and positioners. Distributors will serve pulp, paper and several other process industries, such as refineries, chemical, fertilizer, steel, power and waste water.

“With the help of these distributors, we expand our coverage throughout India as all the distributors operate in different regions. In addition to Metso’s own flow control experts in India who take care of the most demanding customer needs, these distributors have their own role in improving local support and inventories as well as providing fast deliveries to our customers,” says Vinay Pradhan, Director, Flow Control, India Market Area, Metso.

“It is our privilege to represent Metso and their high-quality products in the Indian market. We are extremely excited and look forward to grow together in the years to come,” says J.K. Khandelwal, President, GEMSL.

“We are proud to be associated with Metso, one of the leading companies in flow control solutions. During the 25 years in the industry, I have admired the indisputable strength of Metso: valuing customers and offering them only the best solutions with first-class quality,” says Prasanna Sangam, Managing Director, Proflo Systems.

Metso has a supply and service center in Vadodara, India. The local Metso service experts support sales by executing purchase orders for complete valve assemblies and by providing their knowledge to ensure that Metso’s high standards are applied even in the most challenging cases.
