YESKOLUBE INDIA: Augmenting the Indian Manufacturing Growth Saga

293

India is moving towards an independent, self-sufficient future with immense growth in the manufacturing industry. It has become quintessential to ensure that quality hits the mark every time in this sector.

One of the most critical factors for quality assurance is lubrication management. It plays an essential role in manufacturing, especially in the forging and die-cast industry. Its triple purpose function of die-work piece separation keeps the mechanical friction to the minimum while absorbing extreme heat and maintaining assembly-line temperatures.

This ensures the extended life and top-notch performance of each machine in the assembly line, thus guaranteeing the quality of the outcome is maintained all the time. Comprehending this scenario, Yeskolube India Pvt Ltd manufactures and supplies its definite and impeccable forging and die-casting lubricants across the country.

Yeskolube, a brainchild of Mr. Sandeep Gaikwad, the Founder, and Director- formulates its products with the best raw materials, which helps clients to achieve high performance and cost savings.

A Visionary Leader Par Excellence

Sandeep is a passionate engineering entrepreneur steering the team of professionals towards the mission of making India a global manufacturing leader by providing the best quality lubrication management services.

During the early phases of his career, Sandeep identified the challenges faced by the industry and the enormous costs incurred due to improper usage and even the wrong grade of lubricants being opted for.

This specific need motivated Sandeep to begin a venture that would rightly offer lubricant management solutions and guide the client companies in using the right quantities to get the best results for their process.

Yeskolube is a dynamic solution-oriented accomplishment of Sandeep’s hard work, over a decade of practical domain expertise, and his vision and mission as a hardcore industry professional.

Under his extraordinary leadership, Yeskolube has emerged as one of the rising stars of the lubrication industry, providing high-quality, best-in-class products at cost-effective prices. It has a strong base established Pan-India, having manufacturing facilities in Pune, Maharashtra.

Sandeep says, “The manufacturing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and have the best-in-class testing and storage units.”

Adding to this, it has a cadre of accomplished mentors who guide a team of solid credentials to handle a nationwide clientele with utmost quality and support.

Sandeep adds, “These solutions would subsequently help the customers meet their core requirements, optimize the production capacity, and save enormous costs.”

A people-oriented leader, Sandeep always gives equal opportunities to his team to contribute innovative ideas to enhance product quality and customer service.

Sandeep explains, “We meticulously conduct research on the conditions and variable temperatures with a wide range of metal combinations while developing products and industrial consumables through the core areas of

  • High-performance forging-die lubricant wax-free paintable die coats
  • Plunger lubes and graphite beads
  • Spray guns and spraying equipment
