an engineering services company depends on its people and the adaptability of their engineering minds to varying engineering problems. We work for companies across multiple industries. The expertise required for product realisation across multiple industries
India has several companies offering engineering services. There is hardly any engineering services provider capable of offering end to end product realisation. This is primarily because engineering service providers are concentrating their services around the Computer Station (CAD or Software). It needs an engineering mindset and requisite engineering infrastructure to be a ‘serious’ engineering service provider. To develop rounded engineering minds you need to provide an opportunity for young engineers to break away from the CAD station and get their hands dirty. It is only with the Pricol Group’s manufacturing environment combined with engineering services that this becomes possible. This is Pricol Technologies’ competitive advantage.”
Craftsmanship is inherent in good design. The selection of the most appropriate materials, the way they are put together and work together determine the success of the finished product.
