The small-cap stock informed the Indian stock market exchanges about the capex expansion, saying,
“Oriental Trimex Limited, a leading processor and trader of natural stones for over two decades, is pleased to announce its plan to revolutionize the stone industry with the import and installation of a state-of-the-art wire-based gangsaw machine, commonly known as the “cable machine for slab cutting”, from China.” According to the press release shared by the small-cap company in its exchange filing, “This strategic investment underlines our commitment to adopt innovative technologies, enhance operational excellence and deliver unmatched quality to our esteemed customers in the high-end residential and commercial construction sectors.” The company planned to import and install the machine at its plant in Gummidipoondi near Chennai. This will be a significant milestone in the Indian stone processing industry. Unlike traditional gang saws that use multiple blades, this wire gang saw technology uses a series of 0.4-0.6mm diameter diamond-coated cables for precise cutting, setting a new standard for accuracy and efficiency.
