Industrial Nanotech, Inc, a leader in nanotechnology based energy saving and sustainable solutions has announced that it’s opening a corporate sales office in India within the next month.
The company has seen significantly increased demand in India for its Nansulate energy saving and protective coatings from OEM manufacturers as well as end manufacturing users to reduce energy costs.
The company plans to establish an office in Southern India, near Bangalore, with expansion to Northern India and Western India in the near future.
"India has become an increasingly important country as their manufacturing sectors and economy as a whole continue to have a healthy growth rate,” said Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development. "We began a strategy this year focused on boosting our marketing and brand presence in India as an energy saving solution and it has returned significant results. These include multiple inquiries from manufacturers that want to use Nansulate coatings for insulation of their equipment for energy savings and surface temperature reduction, as well as a meeting with a leading OEM manufacturer of process cooling systems with 14 locations throughout India, and an international client base, that is interested in incorporating our technology into the process cooling systems they manufacture and sell. We have seen our marketing, which was focused on commercial and industrial, bring in sales and inquiries from multiple markets and at such a response level that it was obvious to us that setting up an Industrial Nanotech, Inc. office in India, staffed by a sales and technical support team which we hire and train, was the logical next step. The availability of a well educated workforce with an excellent work ethic presents a tremendous opportunity for the Company and will allow us to both accommodate factory visit requests from around the country with our own technical teams, as we do in the US, and the ability to more rapidly service and grow this vital market.”
