Arcum Group

What Arcum Group does

Arcum Group is an India-based industrial engineering, distribution, and services group established in 1987 and headquartered in Kolkata with a regional office in Mumbai. The company operates as a B2B industrial equipment provider acting as the official agent and distributor for more than 20 global manufacturers including Velco GmbH, Tenova-Pomini, Alpine Metal Tech, TII KAMAG, Silvio Fossa, GVA Krefeld, and others. It serves six core industrial verticals: Iron & Steel, Marine, Oil & Gas, Power, Petrochemical, and Material Handling, providing end-to-end solutions spanning machinery procurement, installation, commissioning, after-sales service, spares supply, and EPC turnkey project execution.

The company's core proprietary asset is the Rotamat-i Refractory Gunning Machine, locally manufactured in India since 2018 under a joint venture with Velco GmbH Germany, combining German engineering standards with Indian production cost efficiency. With 50+ units sold by 2024 to customers including Tata Steel, Jindal Stainless, AM/NS India, Fobel, Vesuvius, and RHI, this product line represents a deliberate shift from pure distribution toward Make-in-India branded manufacturing. The group has executed major turnkey roll shop projects in consortium with Tenova-Pomini for Tata Steel (Jamshedpur TSCR, Kalinganagar HSM) and SAIL Bokaro (CRM-III), with cumulative equipment erection exceeding 10,000 tons and fabrication exceeding 1,000 tons across projects.

The business model operates through three wholly-owned legal entities (Arcum Engineering Pvt. Ltd., Arcum Impex LLP, Arcum Marine Services Pvt. Ltd.) generating revenue via industrial machinery sales (one-time license), technical services (AMCs, repair, commissioning, retrofit — professional services), manufacturing (hardware sales of Rotamat-i), turnkey EPC project execution (professional services), authorized spares distribution (hardware sales), and strategic sales and marketing services for OEM principals (professional services). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large Indian industrial enterprises, supplemented by consortium partnerships for large EPC projects and authorized distributorship networks spanning India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. No pricing is publicly disclosed, and the company is privately held with no venture capital or institutional investment disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Flowserve Corporation: Global manufacturer of pumps, valves, seals and flow control automation serving oil & gas, power, chemical, mining and water — directly overlaps Arcum's principal portfolio (Flowserve/Halberg pumps are represented by Arcum) and competes for the same Indian industrial customers with broader product depth and direct India operations.
• Sulzer: Swiss-headquartered industrial engineering group manufacturing pumps, rotating equipment and separation technology for oil & gas, power, chemicals and metals — comparable because Sulzer both competes for the same Indian industrial customers and has a direct India presence, contrasting with Arcum's distributor-based model.
• Atlas Copco: Global industrial compressor, vacuum and material-handling equipment manufacturer with deep Indian operations serving steel, power, mining, oil & gas and manufacturing — overlaps Arcum's verticals and customer base with a much broader, direct-presence model.
• Voith: German industrial group providing drive systems, paper machinery, hydropower and metals processing technology — comparable to Arcum's power, metals and EPC consortium model with a much larger global footprint and direct India presence.
• Alfa Laval: Global supplier of heat exchangers, separation equipment and fluid handling for oil & gas, petrochemical, power and marine — overlaps with Arcum's petrochemical, power and marine verticals where heat exchangers and pumps are core supplied lines.
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T): Indian conglomerate with large heavy-engineering, EPC and industrial-equipment businesses serving steel, oil & gas, power and petrochemicals — directly competes with Arcum's EPC consortium roll-shop and refinery installation work for the same Tata Steel/SAIL/RIL-tier customers.

Direct peers

• FLSmidth: Danish engineering company supplying equipment, service and EPC for cement and mining — directly comparable to Arcum's iron & steel, power and material-handling equipment supply plus commissioning/aftermarket model, and serves many of the same Indian metals and cement customers.
• Metso: Global leader in mining, aggregates and metals processing equipment and services — closely matches Arcum's industrial-equipment-supply-plus-service model for steel and mining customers in India, including roll-shop and mineral processing adjacencies.
• Weir Group: Mining-focused engineered solutions provider (pumps, valves, hydrocyclones, comminution) — comparable to Arcum's industrial-equipment-supply-and-service model in mining-adjacent metals and material handling markets, including India presence.

Regional players

• Kirloskar Brothers: India-headquartered industrial pump manufacturer serving power, oil & gas, water and process industries — direct regional competitor to Arcum's pump and rotating-equipment distribution/supply business in the Indian market with comparable customer base.
