How does KIL's ‘powder to finished products’ vertical integration ensure an agile supply chain to manage material cost volatility and support India’s aggressive infrastructure pipeline?

We use an in-region/for-region strategy to serve our customers better while also meeting India’s rapidly evolving infrastructure needs. As part of our fully integrated tungsten production system, we can refine ore concentrates and recycled scrap into powder, then produce finished parts. This end-to-end integration lays a solid foundation for agility and dependability, allowing us to control costs and maintain a consistent supply despite market volatility.

For road rehabilitation, what is the proven cost-per-kilometre advantage of the next-gen Road King™ series over standard tooling, and how does this justify its value proposition?

The enhanced body, washer, and retainer design of our next-gen Road King picks maximises carbide tip use and improves holder protection. Compared to conventional picks, this results in a noticeably longer wear life, reducing the need for expensive downtime and tool changes.
