GEM Machinery, India has entered into a strategic business collaboration with Tsukishima Kikai Co. Ltd. (TSK) Japan, aimed at strengthening the design, manufacturing, and delivery of advanced solid drying systems for chemical and petrochemical industries across India. The partnership was formally unveiled at a special forum co-hosted with the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE), Ankleshwar, held at the Hyatt, Bharuch, and attended by senior management from TSK Japan, along with process engineers, plant heads, and industry leaders.

In its initial phase, the collaboration between Gem Machinery and TSK Japan will focus on two specific categories of drying equipment — Inclined Disk Dryers (Paddle Dryers) and Fluid Bed Dryers — combining GEM Machinery's manufacturing strength and field experience in India with TSK's decades of process technology and design engineering expertise from Japan.

Speaking on the occasion, Nishant Garg, Managing Director, GEM Machinery said, "This partnership is a significant milestone for us. For years, Indian process industries requiring high-precision drying technology have often had to settle for imported systems that come with longer lead times and higher costs, or domestic solutions with limited advanced engineering support. By bringing together GEM Machinery's manufacturing capability and on-ground experience with TSK's proven Japanese process technology, we can now offer our customers globally benchmarked equipment that is engineered, manufactured, and supported locally. This means better reliability, faster response, and stronger value for every plant we serve."

PK Arora, Technical Director, Gem Machinery, added, "We are honoured to have TSK Japan's senior leadership with us in person for this launch, and the strong turnout from the engineering community at the IIChE forum reflects just how much this collaboration is relevant and meaningful to the industry. We see this as the beginning of a long-term partnership that will raise the standard of solid drying technology in India”.

For GEM Machinery, this partnership represents an important step in their journey to become a stronger technology-driven drying solutions company, offering efficient, dependable and sustainable drying systems for the future.
