Fives strengthens its partnership with RIJ Engineering India through a new Laser Welding contract
Fives strengthens its partnership with RIJ Engineering India through a new Laser Welding contract Fives continues to expand its strategic presence in India with the signing of a new contract with RIJ Engineering India, a key player in the manufacturing of components for the automotive and agricultural sectors. This new milestone further reinforces Fives’ position as a leader in laser welding technology, with the installation of a fourth CO₂ laser welding machine at RIJ Engineering’s Pune facility. A longstanding partnership and renewed trust For several years, Fives and RIJ Engineering India have maintained a close collaboration, particularly around laser welding solutions—an essential technology for producing high-precision components. Following the successful implementation of three previous machines, RIJ Engineering India has made the strategic decision to expand its production capabilities with an additional system, once again supplied by Fives Cinetic, the Group’s dedicated laser welding technology expert. This latest investment will allow RIJ to meet growing market demand while significantly improving the productivity of its manufacturing lines, especially for the production of transmission gears used in automotive and agricultural equipment. With this new installation, the company expects to achieve a 25% increase in overall production capacity. Local support and cutting-edge expertise This project reflects a broader drive toward sustainable growth, supported by the local expertise of Fives India. By offering tailored solutions and dedicated technical support, Fives continues to strengthen its footprint in India—a key market for the Group. This contract illustrates RIJ Engineering India’s ongoing confidence in Fives’ CO₂ laser welding solutions. It also marks a new chapter in a successful partnership built on high performance, reliability, and innovation in an increasingly competitive industrial landscape. A promising future The new system is scheduled to be commissioned in fall 2025, further enhancing RIJ Engineering India’s production capabilities for the years ahead. Fives remains committed to supporting its customers with cutting-edge technologies while nurturing long-term partnerships founded on trust and innovation. |
