Having taken over a Chennai based family style run organization a decade earlier, under UniDEL's leadership Eurotherm DEL and SSD Drives emerged as national players. During its stewardship they witnessed a steady build up of organizational value. Each company had 7 offices for sales & customer service, an engineering & manufacturing infrastructure, a project & applications engineering and management team of international class delivering integrated systems for specific industry verticals.
