Radhe Engineering Company

What Radhe Engineering Company does

Radhe Engineering Company is a Rajkot, Gujarat-based manufacturer of biomass briquetting and processing equipment, founded in 1990 by Dr. Shailesh Makadia and now operated by co-founders Vijay Kalavadia and Vimal Kalavadia. The company's core offering is a line of binder-less briquetting machines — the RE-40, RE-60, RE-70, and RE-90 — that compress agricultural and forestry waste into high-density fuel briquettes (40mm to 90mm diameter, 150 to 1800 kg/hr throughput) using the natural lignin content of biomass as a binder, eliminating chemical additives. Supporting the core line is a turnkey processing portfolio that includes flash and rotary drum dryers, hammer mills, drum chippers, ring die pellet machines, stone separators, and the formally branded 'Radhe Genuine Spares' aftermarket parts business, enabling customers to source an entire plant from a single supplier.

The company sells direct to industrial customers across paper, cement, pharmaceutical, textile, food processing, and leather industries, with stated installations at 800+ facilities globally and active outreach to forestry, agricultural, and energy sector buyers. GTM is sales-led and increasingly digital, anchored by an extensive SEO build-out across Indian geography and direct WhatsApp contact channels; no resellers or distribution partners are referenced. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm remains privately held with no institutional funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in its history.

Manufacturing is conducted across two Rajkot-area production units (Rajkot-Gondal Highway and Sodvadar-Timdi Road), supported by an in-house steel cast foundry. The firm is ISO 9001:2008 certified (valid through November 2026) and holds an Import Export Code from DGFT, enabling export activities though specific international revenue or country footprint is not disclosed. The firm operates with a headcount of approximately 14 employees, consistent with a tightly run, founder-led industrial SME.
