A young Electrical Engineer Mr.Mukesh Bhandari wanted to change the world of secondary steel making through Induction Furnace route in way back in early ‘80s. The world opposed, but he had a purpose, a clear vision and strong determination. He established Electrotherm (India) for manufacturing Induction Melting Furnaces, which were used only for foundry applications till then. He customized it for steel making application, a move that was even denounced by all other contemporary induction furnace manufacturers. Today, around 70 million tons of steel is produced through Induction route around the world, thanks to the initiatives of Electrotherm. And no wonder all those who were opposed to steel making through Induction route had no alternative but to follow the suit, or vanished eventually. The journey of Electrotherm that began in 1983 was based on openness for ideas, eagerness to innovate, supplemented by in-house research & development and focus on customer-centric product and process development. Electrotherm kept designing and manufacturing larger capacities furnaces, suitable refining equipment like metal refining converters (AOD) and ladle furnaces, high speed continuous casting machine and various gadgets for improving productivity and quality of steel produced. It further added mechanized charging system and high-end plant automation for reducing dependency on manpower, introduced proper fume capturing and de-dusting system for making steel plant through Induction Furnace route a cleaner affair. ‘Always innovate for a better tomorrow’ has not only been the mission of the company, it has been the way of life all through its journey. After developing larger capacity melting furnaces, refining and casting equipment etc.
