INTRODUCTION
National Engineering Industries Ltd., part of the 150 year old, multi-billion dollar C.K. Birla group manufactures a wide range of bearings for automotive and railway industry as well as for general industrial applications under the brand name nbc . NEI, founded in the year 1946 as a pioneer industry in the field of bearing manufacture, now manufactures nearly 80 Million Bearings per annum in over 500 different sizes ranging from 6 mm bore to 1300 mm outer diameter having capability to manufacture bearing upto 2000 mm. diameter.
NEI is one of the largest domestic bearing manufactures with gross annual turnover of Rs. 1051 crore in 2010-11. The company exports bearings to more than 20 countries and is also exporting to OEMs in Europe and USA. NEI has grown at a CAGR of 19% since 2007-08.
NEI manufactures a wide range of bearings namely ball and cylindrical roller bearings, double row angular contact bearings, tapered roller bearings for automobiles, railways and industrial applications and large diameter bearings for steel plants and rolling mills. The three plants situated at Jaipur, Newai and Manesar manufacture these products with approx. 2300-strong team, supported by a well-equipped R&D with bearing life testing facility.
NEI Ltd. has been awarded the coveted 2010 Deming Application Prize, by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE), Japan, for achieving distinctive performance improvement through the application of Total Quality Management (TQM).The Deming medal confirms that our quality management systems are one of the best ,globally .For our customers, this means enjoying consistently superior products and assurance of highest quality for every NBC bearings they use .
R&D is equipped to introduce new technology in the field of bearings and related products .All functions from concept design to product launch are an integral part of R&D .
