What Graintec Industries does

Graintec Industries is a Bengaluru-based partnership firm founded in 2009 that manufactures rice processing machinery and industrial conveyors for domestic Indian and export markets. Its product portfolio spans the complete rice processing value chain — paddy cleaning, drying, parboiling, de-husking, whitening, polishing, length/thickness grading, color sorting, destoning, and storage — alongside a full line of industrial conveyors (flat belt, flexible screw, slat chain, rubber, chain) and bucket elevators. The company operates a 1,000 sq ft manufacturing facility equipped with imported German laser cutting and turret punching machinery, and offers customized configurations through an in-house R&D function. Differentiated designs include a PLC-controlled silky rice polisher with CAM rollers, a density-based paddy separator that outputs three distinct fractions, and a pneumatic rubber sheller for raw, steam, and boiled paddy. The company has extended into adjacent verticals including dal milling, pulses processing, seed cleaning, and animal feed milling.

The business model is primarily one-time capital equipment sales (rice whiteners listed at Rs 3.4 lakh per piece, cyclone dust collectors at Rs 1.8 lakh per piece), supplemented by aftermarket spare parts and customization services. Pricing is largely quote-based, with export sales supported via D/A, D/P, and L/C payment terms. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer through the grainprocessingmachinery.com website (55% response rate), IndiaMART marketplace listings, and an actively developing agent/franchisee channel targeting East Asia, Americas, and the Middle East. The firm is led by managing partner Prasanna Kumar with two additional GST partners, employs up to 10 people, and self-discloses annual turnover in the INR 25-100 Cr range (~USD 3M-12M). There is no external investment, no patents, no awards, and no formal partnerships on record.
