Wikus India Pvt Ltd

What Wikus India Pvt Ltd does

WIKUS India Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune-based private limited company, incorporated in 2014 as a 100% subsidiary of WIKUS Germany (WIKUS-Sägenfabrik Wilhelm H. Kullmann GmbH & Co. KG, founded 1958 in Spangenberg), the largest band saw blade manufacturer in Europe with 750+ employees globally. The Indian entity manufactures and supplies a full range of band saw blades — bimetal, carbide, diamond-studded, and tool steel variants — plus precision circular saw blades, supported by state-of-the-art welding facilities at its Chakan Industrial Area (Pune) headquarters, which also functions as the centralized stocking point for the entire product range. Its technology base is anchored in WIKUS Germany's manufacturing IP and German engineering standards, complemented by proprietary digital tools (ParaMaster® Online, the ParaMaster® mobile app on iOS/Android, and a Blade Selector wizard) that translate that engineering knowledge into customer-facing cutting-parameter guidance.

The company sells through a sales-led go-to-market: a pan-India field network of Sales and Service Representatives based in major industrial locations, supported by the wikusonlinestore.com e-commerce channel, a structured website contact form (covering pricing, quotations, orders, and technical queries), and email/newsletter demand-generation via Salesforce Pardot. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales plus technical support/application services; pricing is quote-based with no public list pricing, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 (UKAS-accredited) quality certification. Customer focus spans eight industrial verticals — transportation (primary), steel production, steel construction and profile processing, energy and recycling, machine and plant engineering, non-ferrous metals, construction/chemicals/semiconductor, and agricultural technology — with documented case-study outcomes including a 50–70% productivity improvement and 50% reduction in band saw blade consumption for an aerospace titanium-alloy customer (Aerometals & Alloys). Recent product activity includes the launch of GENERO®, a bimetal blade designed for wood cutting, signaling a deliberate extension beyond metal cutting into adjacent material categories.
