In the 21st century, the world become so small due to globalization and advanced technology. Young people must take advantage of this to join other countries, learn, teach, make business, and love them so many things to be done in a very small life.
Innovative Approach
When Shreekant has started a company in 2004 with a small number of funds, there was a big problem with marketing expenses. Then at that time, he started marketing on the internet, sending letters, catalogs, new development on products, use of his products & many more, sharing knowledge with customers by writing letters & sending by email, at that time social media was not popular, but he used to talk on Google talk & other media which were available. His approach to marketing was quite innovative at that time, low-cost marketing he achieved and got pretty good orders from Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, JBM, Caparo group, etc. And secondly, every time even after receipt of orders, he did R & D in-house, to make products at low cost using different engineering techniques. For example, if one product he is selling at Rs.100, where the raw material is used for Rs.60.000.
In 2004, Mr.Shreekant Patil, who is a qualified graduate engineer but having tremendous confidence, vast knowledge of resistance welding consumables, spot welding guns, robotics, manufacturing, engineering, product development, marketing, and determined about his business, started Paramount Enterprises business with a little amount of fund in the pocket.
Then few bankers kept faith in Shreekant’s confidence, projects s & determination they helped him a lot to set up his business. Initially, Shreekant had very big trouble getting orders from customers, then he started helping & support customers with their problems in the resistance welding area until 2 years.
Slowly, Shreekant added conventionally machined to the production line at Paramount to cater to his products. Developed people from different areas at his work, shared his knowledge, took care of them & their families, stands with them friendly which resulted, in his front office, engineering team, the production team serving Paramount for a decade with love.
After setting up a production line & awarded ISO certification for quality standards, Shreekant upgraded new technology machines like CNC, VMC, Press, and EDM to enhance productivity to be able to cater customers’ timely delivery with quality.
Inspiration – Paramount Enterprises has tied up with one of the leading companies in the United Kingdom, who cater products all over Europe especially Bentley, Ford, Honda, General motors, etc. Early days, they were used to procuring resistance welding parts from China, unfortunately, they had a bad patch due to poor quality supplied by their China partner. Then they approached Paramount Enterprises for better quality and asked if Paramount can match prices too.
Mr.Shreekant has then decided to make such a product with a minimum price to match China’s price with excellent quality which especially European companies prefer. With much hard work, and devotion, he developed such a product and supplied it to his customer in the UK initially.
In little time, the product has been approved by most of the customers in the EU. Presently Paramount makes business with a partner in the EU- almost – 2 Million US dollars every year.
Europe customers are now planning to double business with Paramount next year. Products – Resistance welding consumables, spares: Spot welding electrodes, spot welding shank, spot welding gun arm, robotic welding holders, projection welding electrodes, elkonite electrodes, seam welding wheels, machined parts for spot welding robotic welding, 3D busbar.
