Mr. Baltes recollects how information was exchanged back and forth with the customer during the planning stage: “We provided the plans as 3‑D volume models so that everything would fit perfectly together once it was completed and the strict safety regulations could be met.“

Despite the intense planning, a small accident involving a forklift happened when the valves were unloaded in India. The resulting damage, however, could be remedied immediately by Samson’s Indian after-sales service staff. This minor incident has not stopped the valves from working as planned and specified by the customer ever since.

Additional Information

Samson in India

Control Valve Specialist with Experience in Asia

Samson has been active in India for more than 25 years and opened a subsidiary there in 1999. In 2009, the company headquarters were moved from the metropolis of Mumbai to Ranjangaon in the state of Maharashtra. The Samson site is situated in a newly created industrial park that offers sufficient space for future expansion. Its location was chosen strategically: between the industrial centers of Pune to the southwest and Aurangabad to the northeast. Pune is the heart of the Indian automotive industry and an educational center with numerous universities, colleges and other institutions. Many international engineering companies have set up their local headquarters there. Aurangabad has attracted a wide variety of companies active in the processing industries.

Local Production for Indian Customers

In 2011, Samson India opened a production site at Ranjangaon, where valves, positioners, self-operated regulators for pressure, differential pressure and temperature as well as differential pressure meters are manufactured. The investment made amounted to approximately EUR 3.5 million to serve the expanding Indian market. Apart from the Ranjangaon headquarters, Samson has branch offices in Bangalore, Baroda, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune to provide our customers all across India with the quick and reliable Samson on-site service that we are known for. Samson India has more than 120 members of staff. Customers serviced include BASF, Evonik, Gea, Inox, Linde, Lurgi, Uhde, IOCL, Tetra Pak, BHEL, Praj and Thermax.

Expertise in Technical Gases

When working with plant engineering companies like SMS Siemag, which operate all across the world, it is a clear advantage if a supplier can also rely on a worldwide network to ensure that spare parts and service personnel are readily available. “Our cooperation with SMS Siemag has been going on for years. Our expertise in special materials and exotic alloys is of great importance to this customer and we have been able to score points by showing great flexibility in handling quotations and orders,” summarizes Mr. Baltes. And he states another factor that played into Samson’s hands in this order: “our experience gained as a supplier to all major producers of technical gases.”
