Gemini Power Hydraulics Pvt Ltd as the pan India dealer of Haulotte has been successfully tapping Indian aviation sector for the last five years. Gemini has supplied equipment to the airforce, aviation service providers and various airports across the country. But its biggest success in the sector is successfully having supplied and commissioned 21 Haulotte Aerial Work Platforms consisting of a mix of Push Around, Vertical Mast, Articulated Booms and Light weight Booms to GVK-Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd for the prestigious state-of-the-art Terminal 2. The machines are used by the facility department and E&M department for fatade cleaning and maintenance of the T2 at Mumbai International Airport. Road to success Rewinding back to chart out this incredible success story, Gemini team started the pre-sales activity with GVK-MIAL in the month of march 2012. After the technical site survey and noting critical measurements and thereafter post several gruelling rounds of technical discussions with the project team, machines suitable to the client´s requirement and application was short-listed. Despite stringent competition from reputed AWP manufacturers, GVK-MIAL chose Gemini and Haulotte as preferred partner and awarded the contract to Gemini in the month of may 2013. Unmatched services The machine deliveries were completed in end 2013 to early 2014 and post deliveries during the commissioning period, Gemini product support team conducted several detailed theoretical as well as practical training sessions for the facility contractors for proper and optimum utilisation of the machines. All the machines are now backed by prompt and excellent after sales support by Gemini Power Hydraulics with additional specialised support whenever required from Haulotte India service team to ensure that the machines are operating satisfactorily. The service engineers from Gemini visit and check the machines once in a month for preventive health-check-up of the machines. The team remains available on 24 x 7 basis for any emergency. GVK-MIAL E&M team, facility team, procurement team and logistics team were all very supportive through-out the contract, which enabled for smooth execution of the contract. Ensuing success This prestigious order from MIAL also propelled orders from other Chennai International Airport and Bangalore International Airport, who also put their trust in using Haulotte machines with the proactive and efficient after sales support from Gemini. Bright prospects The aviation sector is growing in India at a very rapid pace with several airports coming up in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. Also the thrust of the government in this sector promises good days ahead. Haulotte and Gemini team aim to continue in their tryst to partner and serve this vital sector of Indian industry.
