Beckhoff is
extending its export activity with a new agency in India. Automation specialist, Inteltek
Automation Pvt. Ltd., provides a further stepping stone on Beckhoff's path to a truly
worldwide presence. More than 30% of the company's automation products are now exported,
and are available through subsidiary or partner companies in 28 countries

With this new agency, Beckhoff is strengthening its involvement in developing India. It has succeeded in winning Inteltek Automation Pvt. Ltd., based in Pune, 150 km south-west of Bombay, as a partner for the marketing activity that has now begun. Founded in 1988, Inteltek Automation employs 52 people throughout India's industrial centres. Seven local offices in Pune, Bombay, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Bangalore, Jamshedpur and Ahmadabad operate as automation centres close to the country's machine and plant manufacturers. Inteltek is a member of the well known Intelmac Group, a supplier of production equipment and machine tools. This gives the company access to a high level of solution expertise, and to familiarity in the machine and plant construction sector. The Intelmac Group, founded in 1981, comprises Intelmac, Macintel, Camtek and Inteltek Automation Pvt. Ltd., and employs more than 160 people.
Using distribution and support networks
Inteltek will represent the full Beckhoff product range, consisting of Industrial PCs,
fieldbus systems and the TwinCAT automation software, in the 7th largest country in the
world. System integration will be offered, in addition to components and system solutions.
Beckhoff is expecting that the well developed Inteltek distribution and support network
will provide a further impetus to growth in a part of the world that is home to nearly a
billion people. As a country whose exports are rising sharply, the importance of
automation in India is growing rapidly. The trend toward a greater awareness of quality is
no longer satisfied by controllers with minimal features. There is far more demand these
days for complex solutions, such as those offered by PC-based automation.
