Over the years, Orbit has evolved
from being a manufacturing-orient-
ed company to a knowledge-based
engineering entity that helps its cus-
tomers to design, test and custom-
ize bearing solutions as per their
requirements. The commitment to
quality has made Orbit a preferred
supplier to various Indian and in-
ternational companies. The key fo-
cused areas of the company include
product design, prototype develop-
ment, product engineering and test-
ing, material and product technol-
ogy and application engineering.
Orbit’s adaptability approach has
enabled it to integrate new and latest
technology in the production cycle.
The company invests more than five
per cent of its revenues each year in
research & development to identify
better ways to combine new systems
and processes into their existing
structures. All these efforts result in
its having the shortest lead time for
developing customized bearings.
Orbit has been exporting to OEMs
in the US, Sweden, Germany, Italy,
Belgium and Brazil since last 15

international presence, there is an
important domestic base with the
Indian clients such as Ashok Ley-
land, Mahindra & Mahindra, Eicher
Motors, Dana, Escorts, Sonalika,
Greaves and Apollo.
Further, in order to meet the grow-
ing demand of its existing OEM
customers and the new ones, Orbit
is expanding its annual manufactur-
ing capacity to 10 million taper and
cylindrical roller bearings, with its
mission to achieve supreme quality
through an innovative approach.
