Founded in the year 1960, ELGi is one of the most reputed names in air compressor manufacturing. Today the company has a presence in 120 countries across the world with a fast-growing distributor base in each country. This is thanks to its high-quality products, exceptional service and prompt customer support.
VEMC is one of the leading ELGi air compressor dealers in Mumbai, and in this blog we talk about how ELGi is taking on the global market while being committed to the goals of sustainability.
ELGi’s global footprint
With over 63 years of experience in manufcaturing air compressors, ELGi has reached the zenith of its business. The company has reached over 2 million installations all over the world.
All of this is thanks to ELGi’s innovative product portfolio and a strong marketing and distribution network. The company has penetrated the lucrative markets of US, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa and Australia through its spree of acquisitions in manufacturing and distribution. Everywhere ELGi goes, it maintains high product quality standards to build an unassailable reputation. Due to this, the company is getting a positive response from its distribution partners who are always more than willing to carry its products on their network.
For years, the company has focused on strengthening its back-end processes and is now replicating the same success in marketing and distribution. Going forward, the company aims at expanding through a two-fold strategy: diversifying its offerings and building more capacity in the international market. In 2018, 50% of ELGi’s revenues came from its international market and they hope to grow it further in the years to come.
ELGi’s commitment to sustainable business
ELGi believes in creating enduring value for all its stakeholders. These include employees, investors, suppliers, distributors and the society at large. This necessitates that the company uses high-tech products to provide best-in-class service while creating a positive impact on the environment.
Over the last few years, ELGi has made a conscious effort to streamline its ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) initiatives. The company has created a comprehensive sustainability framework that focuses on three pillars:
- Always responsible
- Always reliable
- Always resilient
On the ground, this means ELGi is committed to responsible operations, offering reliable products and services, and ensuring the organization remains resilient especially in the wake of growing business challenges.
When it comes to ESG efforts, the company has established the ELGi school for children from low-income families in Coimbatore. For the last 3 decades, the school has been providing access to quality education helping these students and their families realise their dreams. ELGi’s vocational training school provides technical training to hundreds of youth, especially from low income backgrounds, to finally employ them in its factories.
On the 50th anniversary of the World Earth Day in 2020, ELGi launched the ‘Steps for Change’ program to encourage its employees across the world to take small yet significant steps to make a difference to the environment.
