| Yet another endorsement from a customer |
The world's only full-line, independent manufacturer of
compressors, Tecumseh Products India Limited -a 100% subsidiary of Tecumseh Products- has
selected Tata Steel as one of its "Best Suppliers". Tecumseh's Ballabhgarh unit
manufactures compressors for the who's who among refrigerator makers in the country, while
its Hyderabad unit supplies to premier air-conditioner manufacturers in India.
Tata Steel has been regularly supplying HRSPO Slit Coils to
Tecumseh since February 2003 as per the customers "just in time" requirements.
The effort made by Tata Steel proved extremely rewarding with Tecumseh acknowledging Tata
Steel as its "Best Supplier" despite such a short association. The award was
presented to the company at an impressive "Strategic Partners Meet" held at New
Delhi. The function was attended by over 100 partners of the company. The theme of the
function was promotion of "Brand India" to bolster Tecumseh's export efforts,
emphasise "total solutions" and to earn recognition as world leaders in the
supply of compressors.
