Bonfiglioli Transmissions has been a leader in the power transmission solutions space for more than 60 years. As if given a crystal ball to see into the future, this family-run company has been able to effectively pivot and persist to not only survive in an ever-increasingly competitive and changing environment, but also to thrive.
It has navigated the challenges and hiccups along the way with pure dedication, skill, passion and a willingness to see things from a new perspective – no prophecy-telling, sparkly ball required. As Stephen Hawking once said, “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change”, and in that regard, Bonfiglioli is the Einstein of the gearbox world. “One of the defining features of our success has been our ability to perceive the market trends and align our product strategy in line with these changing trends,” shares Bonfiglioli Transmissions Country Manager Kennady V Kaippally. “We were the first ones to perceive the shift towards hollow shaft gear motors in India and bring products to suit that market.”
Bonfiglioli Transmissions was also ahead of its time when it came to sustainability. “The need for renewable energy in an energy-deficit market like India was quite apparent to us,” he explains. “This belief led us to manufacture gearboxes for wind turbine more than a decade ago – long before it became an obvious choice. We have also been the first to build complete hydrostatic transmissions for a variety of off-road vehicles and equipment in India,” he continues.
