Oriental Export Corporation

What Oriental Export Corporation does

Oriental Export Corporation is a family-owned Indian manufacturer of brass fittings and electrical connectors, established in 1974 and headquartered in the Kandivali industrial area of Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company operates three integrated manufacturing facilities totaling roughly 120,000–175,000 square feet, combining six foundries, hot stamping/forging, CNC and SPM machining, plating, and an in-house accredited testing laboratory. Its product portfolio spans 45° flare, inverted flare, compression, pipe, hose barb, push-on hose barb, garden hose, and metric brass fittings; air brake tubing and coils (SAE J844 / DIN 74324, DOT FMVSS 571.106); and electrical connectors including copper compression lugs, grounding/earthing products, neutral link bars, C taps, and heat shrink sleeves.

The business sells primarily to OEMs and super distributors globally through a direct, RFQ-driven sales motion — customers submit specifications, drawings, or samples and receive custom quotes, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts ranging from spot purchase orders to multi-year agreements. GTM is enterprise field sales supported by a product catalog website and email/phone channels; there is no digital marketing or app presence. Certifications relevant to its end markets include ISO 9001:2015, NSF/ANSI 61G (drinking water), UL & cUL (electrical connectors), DOT FMVSS 571.106 (air brake), IEC, and RoHS, and the company carries approximately $2 million of product liability insurance on all shipments. Revenue concentration by named customer is not disclosed, and there is no evidence of external funding, acquisitions, partnerships, or digital/AI product extensions — the company is a traditional mid-sized industrial component manufacturer operating on modest scale with no public market presence.
