Leading From The Front

Maruti Suzuki India (then Maruti Udyog Ltd) launched its first car in 1983-84 with the aim of bringing out affordable vehicles. PPAP Automotive has been the part of that historic moment. Speaking on the history of the company, Abhishek Jain, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, PPAP Ltd mentions, “We have been in the industry since the launch of the first Maruti car in the country. Since then we have consistently worked on ourselves to remain the best in technology and capability. One of our key strengths is our integrated operations that support our customers from print to build. We engage with the OEM right at the development stage and assist from part design and development to mass production.”

Along with company, Abhishek also inherits the skill of leading from the front. With the motto of ‘Taking challenges, together’, he encourages his team to overcome challenges with calculative risk. However building such a team was not an easy task for him. Speaking on it, Jain says, “Every day brings a new challenge in the automotive industry. It depends on how much you can see and how much you can hear. The evolution will always bring about new challenges. At PPAP, we motivate our team which is always ready to face and overcome these challenges. I think the biggest challenge that I faced was to develop my team to take calculated risks to achieve breakthrough results. I always tell them, that if you are taking a calculated risk, then success is yours and failure is mine.”

In this journey, setting short term goals can give tremendous results. “Daily small improvement is our key mantra for success. We firmly believe that today’s result should be better than yesterday’s result. The team is motivated to challenge each activity of their daily routine and are focused to doing the same activity more efficiently,” he stated.

iglidur I151 for FDA-compliant, Detectable, Wear Resistant Parts In Food Technology

igus has developed a blue, food-compatible tribo-filament for cost effective 3D printing of special parts. iglidur I151 is blue, prints easily, and has an optimal coefficient of friction and wear. The new tribo-filament is a refinement of the easy-to-machine igus iglidur I150 all-rounder filament. Because it is blue, it can be used to manufacture special parts that are optically detectable in the food industry. Food compatibility according to the FDA and to EU Regulation 10/2011 also qualifies the high-performance polymer for use in the food and cosmetics industries.
