Over just a quarter of a century, Kineco Group has built itself into a model for home-grown companies. It is among the few players in India qualified to build turnkey products for railway interiors, starting from a 200 square metre facility to a star in India’s composite industry.
Its founder and managing director Shekhar Sardessai started out working for a Pune-based company after completing a diploma in fabrication technology from Government Polytechnic College, Panaji. Aiming to reach his father’s entrepreneurial goal, he founded Mass Kinematics in 1995, manufacturing chemical process equipment from composites at Pilerne Industrial Estate. As the company grew, Sardessai explored multiple opportunities of innovation and technological advancements to evolve in the industry.
Evolving meant building the company as a brand, and years later, it took shape as Kineco – short for Kinematics Composites. There was no looking back.
The pursuit of advanced composites gave Kineco a glamourous identity and uniquely positioned it as a star in the Indian composite industry. This visibility coupled with a reputation for innovation and best practices led to what has become one of Goa’s finest international joint-ventures with US-based Kaman Aerospace. Kineco Kaman Composites India Private Limited became a force multiplier and gave impetus to the Kineco Group.
Kineco has also been supplying world-class composite products to Indian Railways for the last 15 years with several innovative product developments to its credit. The railway product portfolio includes rail coach interiors, toilet modules, aerodynamic front ends, driver cab interiors and hard seating systems.
