Salva Industrial, S.A. recently announced its plans to expand its product portfolio in the India market. Presently, few projects are under R&D and will be launched by early 2016. Elaborating on the same, Sandeep Chanana, India sales manager, Salva Industrial, S.A., informed, “A few projects are under R&D and will be launched in India by early 2016.”
The company’s latest deck oven with a new design, expected to launch by the end of April 2015, has been designed to provide better efficiency at a lesser operating cost. “We believe in providing long lasting and problem free systems to our clientele and since our deck ovens are able to retain heat, people will save on energy consumption as well as operating cost,” stated Stephane Clion, export area manager, Salva Industrial, S.A.
Talking the Indian market, Clion believes that even though the Indian bakery sector is growing, the hotel segment is showing better response. “The hospitality sector is able to have 40-45 per cent savings while the bakery sector is unable to match up to the investment due to high taxes on equipment imported from abroad,” he stated adding, “Gradually the owners are understanding the importance of running costs rather than just focusing on one-time processing cost.” Salva Industrial, S.A. has two service companies based in northern and southern India and has been present in India for the past 15 years.
