UNITREAD is managed by technocrats well qualified and experienced in the field of Hydraulics and fluid mechanics and the promoters have held senior positions in large undertakings for over a decade. Our strength being in manufacturing of engineering products and marketing, we have been steadfastly trying to diversify our manufacturing base, provide supporting systems to cover a wide range of variety of designs of couplings in different material of construction with different elastomers to cater to the varying requirement of industry at large. We are perhaps today one of the few units in the organised sector to manufacture the couplings in large quantities, and holding larger market share.

We have the unique combination in the industry as a manufacturing unit covering large scale manufacturing of a wide variety of industrial consumables as couplings and a wide range of special purpose equipments for the tyre industry as capital equipment.

Essentially UNITREAD name is synonymous with tyres in the western part of the country. We have been in the forefront of most of the activities connected with tyres. In our group we have a large retreading company M/S. Unitread Tyrekrafts Pvt. Ltd. Unit for retreading of tyres for cars, truck tyres and we enjoy market leadership for retreading in and around Poona. We have also been on a continuous basis for more than a decade regular contractors for Pune Municipal Corporation, Pune Municipal Transport, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Transport. Our strength being design/manufacture/supply retread equipment, process know how, we undertake setting up of complete units and running it successfully. We have the privilege to set up quite a few such units in Western Maharashtra in the past.

With the knowledge we have developed a complete range of Garage Servicing Equipments and these equipments are basically working on hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This has lead us to go for the couplings which form an essential part for any pneumatic and hydraulic system.

Our knowledge and experience on tyres, rubber and related parts obviously made UNITREAD the largest dealers for new tyres for the popular brands of tyres such as JK, Goodyear, Bridgestone and other allied products like batteries, lubricants, oils through our outlets for auto parts and services in different parts of Pune for more than a decade.

UNITREAD’s knowledge of hydraulics coupled with their expertise in handling and manufacturing of engineering products have led us to develop a variety of couplings to cater to the industry at large. The couplings generally are used in the transfer of fluids, gas vapour and such other media more often used in utility and process services in the industry. By its very nature it calls for application, orientation and massive development activities. The couplings are immensely useful in handling high pressure, temperature and other aggressive media. To gain the maximum benefit these fittings have low pressure drop characteristics and high flow requirements.

Manufacturing the product is one thing and to market it effectively is the other. One with the knowledge of the customers, he would go to greater lengths and take pain in extending the customers satisfaction to the best of his ability. For the couplings being an industrial consumable item it requires a greater reach, off the shelf delivery and competitive prices calling for a good network of dealership organization, a planned inventory instep with the demand and manufacturing a bulk quantity to contain the unit cost.

With this in view at a time when no one will dare to go for high cost, high productivity CNC machines during earlier eighties for products like low cost couplings UNITREAD had the foresight to undertake progressive vendor development plan to attain high volume production to counter the competition and increase the market share.

UNITREAD has introduced strict quality control measures to introduce adequate checks for raw materials used, control on manufacturing operation and testing facilities for the final product to prove its reliability in performance. UNITREAD is an ISO 9001: 2000 certified by DNV.

Similarly on a total different plane the promoters could visualize the mechanization and modernization that is taking place in the Garage Service Equipment. With the increasing difficulty in availability and high cost of man power especially with the expected growth of automobile sector, UNITREAD undertook the development of Tyre Changers and their allied equipments. The promoters believe the days of exploitation of manual working are definitely changing and users will be driven to modernization to increase the productivity. They are well aware with the indiscriminate hammering of the expensive tyres manually and with the increasing damage in the manual  the mechanization will have a greater role to play and the industry will look to low cost automation equipment for increasing the productivity and reducing the man power.

It is only the foresight the perseverance in pursuing the initiative taken that has brought UNITREAD to the place where we are today. We have been striving hard to increase the standardization and their manufacturing set up so that all the new projects and in the replacement sector their product with the international and ISO norms will find a definite place. You are well aware our couplings today can replace any of the existing popular international brands in the existing system or in new products. Similarly the machines manufactured are very much inline with the latest equipment being available in the advanced countries.

The manufacturing facilities, the processes utilized fulfill the international norms and UNITREAD are now in the process of standardizing the products to manufacturing systems as per ISO 9001:2000. With a strong dealership base and with adequate infrastructure facilities in terms of engineers available at their disposal UNITREAD are able to extend the pre and after sales service effectively.

It is a firm belief of UNITREAD that their dealership network is their main pillar for growth. The brighter future would certainly be dependent on how well the relationship could be well cemented for our mutual growth. In our association with the dealership organizations, we have always treated them as a part of the family and the dealers have also responded without any hesitation and this partnership should grow from strength to strength with time.

The group is headed by Mr. P.N. Vaidyalingam who is considered an expert in tyres and related subjects. He is a faculty member of CIRT an apex body for controlling State Road Transport Undertakings in the country for safety, reliability of vehicles, road safety and other related matters. He is also a member of Committee for Tyre Economy for the Transport Regulatory Authority of India. In advisory capacity he has been extending his help to leading tyre companies such as JK, Goodyear etc.

UNITREAD is quite aware of the need for development and are concentrating on Research and Development activities in full measure for improving the present quality of products, widening scope of application, and launching new allied products. With your unflinching support and co-operation we expect to grow and retain the market position and leadership.
