Case Study 1: SE Forge India

Customer Profile:

SE Forge Limited (SE FORGE) is a subsidiary of Suzlon Energy Limited (SEL).

The SEL story began in 1995 with just 20 people; now it is a company of over 13,000 people, operations across the America, Asia, Australia and Europe, fully integrated manufacturing units on three continents, sophisticated R&D capabilities and market leadership in Asia.

Today SEL is being ranked the 5th leading wind power equipment manufacturer with a global market share of 10.5%. The company seized market leadership in India over 8 years ago, and has consistently maintained over 50% market share, installing over 3,000 MW of wind turbine capacity in the country.

Looking for growth not just in India, but across the world, SEL looked past traditional markets for wind energy, and entered new and emerging high-growth markets. This step has success in the rapid global expansion of Suzlon's business with orders from Australia, Brazil, China, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and the United States.

SE FORGE's foundry unit has a capacity of 120,000 MT per annum and is located near Coimbatore. This unit manufactures ductile iron castings.
