What Rohit Polishers does

Rohit Polishers is a family-owned Indian manufacturer of industrial surface finishing systems, founded in 1957 by Late Shri Lalit J. Gandhi in Mumbai and currently led by the Gandhi family (Samkit Gandhi and Deepak Gandhi). The company designs and builds manual, semi-automatic, and automatic abrasive belt grinding, polishing, deburring, buffing, micro-polishing, and super-finishing machines organized into six product families: centerless polishing machines for pipes and tubes, heavy duty polishing machines for bright bars and tubes, grinding and polishing machines for flat parts, automotive polishing machines, special purpose machines (SPMs), and SPMs for stainless steel angles and profiles. The portfolio spans 25+ named machine models with motors ranging from 5 to 15 HP, abrasive belt widths up to 300mm, processing capacities from 10–250mm diameter tubes up to 15m length FRP components, and achievable surface finishes as low as 0.03 Ra on cylindrical super-finishing systems. Production rates of 10,000 to 25,000 pieces per shift are claimed on automated conveyor systems.

The company operates four manufacturing units: the 10,000 sq. ft. Dahanu headquarters and main facility in Palghar, Maharashtra (established 1974, equipped with imported German and British precision mother machine tools), three units at Gandhidham in Kutch, Gujarat, and a 100% Export Oriented Unit at the Kandla Free Trade Zone. It serves automotive, aerospace and defense, construction, railways, furniture, kitchenware, architectural hardware, stainless steel long products, and medical/healthcare customers, with named enterprise logos including Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Endurance Technologies, Hindustan Aeronautics, the Defence Ministry of India, SKF Bearings, Pentair Water, Viraj Profiles, and Stanley Lifestyles, plus an installed base of more than 45,000 customers across India and exports to UAE, Africa, Singapore, and Indonesia.
