Sunbeam Infra Equipments (A Division of Sunbeam Generators) launched a trailer concrete pump of 50 cu m per hour capacity and mixer pump at bauma this year. Having witnessed a reasonably good response, Ashwath Krishna PR, CEO, shares more... One pathbreaking offering: One defining aspect in our transit mixers that sets us apart from the rest is its "life". With several other features that position our mixtures for enhanced drive-ability, these are also IoT compatible. Demand drivers in 2019: Roads, airports, railways (including metros), ports and private infrastructure are expected to give thrust to our equipment sales. Announcement contributing to the company's growth in 2018: Our PTO transit mixers had good traction in 2018. Moreover, we introduced our modular and skid-type batching plants, boom pumps (in cooperation with KCP-Korea) and now the trailer pump and mixer pump at bauma. We believe these solutions will add thrust to our business in 2019. Challenge in 2019: The national elections. Apart from this, there are constant commodity price pressures, forex instability along with oil price volatility and healthiness of financial institutions, which are all pivotal to country's progressiveness. Key strategy to success in 2019: Being a 100-per-cent Indian manufacturer that offers a one-stop solution in concrete production, transportation and pumping. Recommendation for growth of the construction equipment market: Equipment market growth depends on stabilised government with quick plans on the execution of new projects along with aggressive but structured equipment financing and reasonable interest rates. Cash flow is paramount to sustain equipment market growth.
