When Oppermann Webbing went into the market in search of a suitable compressor supplier, they found that some suppliers provided compressed air solutions but not piping, while others provided piping but not compressed air solutions. Atlas Copco covered all bases and provided a compressor, an air storage unit, filter as well as AIRnet piping solution.
Located in Sanand, Gujarat, Oppermann Webbing India Private Limited is part of the German-based Oppermann Group which was established in 1848. Sandesh Shirke, General Manger, Oppermann Webbing explains, "Oppermannn Group is a 175-year-old German company that is into the manufacturing of webbings. Webbings are narrow-weft fabrics that are used for different applications.”
For the automotive and aerospace industries, the company supplies webbings for seat belts. They make parachute webbings for the military and industrial webbings for lifting belts, load-securing belts, slings, as well as harnesses for protective equipment. The Oppermann Webbing India plant is based in Sanand and given their demanding requirements, selection of a supplier involves a high degree of scrutiny. When Oppermann Webbing went into the market in search of a suitable compressor supplier, they found that some suppliers provided compressed air solutions but not piping, while other suppliers provided piping but not compressed air solutions.
Atlas Copco covered all bases and provided a compressor, an air storage unit, filter as well as AIRnet piping solution – living up to its name as a one-stop-solution provider for total air solutions. This played a critical role in initiating and executing the project in the shortest possible time.
Given that their machines do not require air on a regular basis, they found the solution with Atlas Copco. Coming to the air compressor specifically, they went with a VSD compressor that met the requirement of different machines. "We received everything in one go, that is why we chose Atlas Copco as our air compressor partner," points out Sandesh Shirke.
Territory Manager Siddharth Rupareliya shares, "We at Atlas Copco believe in providing end-to-end solutions to our customer which helps them save energy up to 30-40%. Our solutions also ensure the right quality of air and zero leakages through our piping solution. I would like to thank Team Oppermann for selecting Atlas Copco as their air compressor partner."
Sandesh Shirke concludes, "The team based in Ahmedabad are very supportive, very approachable, and that is one of the reasons why we continue our co-operation with Atlas Cocpo."
