Rockman Industries has grown from being a small industry of bicycle component manufacturers to one of the most recognized industrial conglomerates in India. It has expanded its operations and is now a global supplier of aluminium die-casting services from what used to be an artisanal company offering luxury shop fitting services. And now as Rockman proudly displayed in the ALUCAST 2024 midlight, it is time to recall the journey that has been taken to make this company the giant entity it is today.
The Beginning: Pedals of Progress
Rockman Industries was set up in the year 1960 mainly as a bicycle chain and hub manufacturer for the growing bicycle market in India. When the company was small, the key values aimed were reliability, and quality, concepts that can define its evolution across lines of business.
The company was initially formed in partnership with the Hero Group, one of the leading business houses of India originated in the Gujarat province of India at Bhavnagar. Learning from the vision and mission statement of the Hero Group the company grew and progressed altering from a bicycle manufacturing company to a precision instruments manufacturing company.
Expanding Horizons: The Leap into Automotive Excellence
Rockman saw 1999 as a crucial period because it was the period the company entered the automotive industry. It was not merely about moving to a new market, which other carmakers have also done: It was about redefining good and great here.
Out of the whole process, Rockman establishes its position about the advantage of high-pressure die casting as one of the possibilities. The company began to adopt the latest technology and developed a state-of-the-art facility to produce superior-quality die castings for two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and other non-automotive applications.
The company’s solid manufacturing strength is at the heart of Rockman’s growth. With seven plants in India, Ludhiana, Haridwar, Bawal, Manali, Chennai, Halol, and Tirupati, the company has the ability to feed international markets.
Discussion Of The Aluminium Die Casting As A Specialty Field
Today, Rockman Industries is among the few manufacturers in the world equipped to execute all three types of die-casting processes:
High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC): Appropriate for producing complex, slender and a large number of similar parts.
Low-Pressure Die Casting (LPDC): Applied for manufacturing structural components which should possess high stress resistance, but low permeability at the same time.
Gravity Die Casting (GDC): Used to make complicated components with reasonable precision of the shape and size of the final output.
These processes enable Rockman to produce products that can fit in various sectors including automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy among others.
Quality and Sustainability: The Rockman Difference
Quality is not some measure that one strives for, it is something that runs in the veins of everyone at Rockman. All of these products incorporate stringent quality control measures, particularly in order to do with tolerance and dimensions. Measures like IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 are achievements that put the company in a position to produce quality products.
Sustainability is thus the core of Rockman’s business organisation. Beginning with product materials to minimize the recycles and energy flow within the firm enhances green sustainability in production.
The Road to ALUCAST 2024
ALUCAST is the biggest aluminium die-casting event in India and thus the correct forum to present the development of Rockman and its innovations. The conference was held from 5th to 7th December 2024 at Yashobhoomi IICC Dwarka New Delhi India, where various major players of the industry, manufacturers, and other related stakeholders discussed the future direction of Aluminium Die Casting.
