What digital control equipments company does

Digital Control Equipments Company (DCE) is a privately held Indian manufacturer of custom-built industrial control panels, founded in 1978 and operating from a single manufacturing facility in Vasai East, Mumbai. The company produces a 12-product portfolio covering APFC (Automatic Power Factor Control), MCC (Motor Control Center), PDC (Power Distribution Center), and VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) panels, as well as process-specific panels for extruder, injection moulding, hot stamping, shot blasting, UV curing, and special purpose machines. Components are sourced from tier-one industrial suppliers — Siemens, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), and Telemecanique — with enclosures from Eldon/Bartakke, indicating a build-to-spec rather than proprietary-product model.

DCE serves process manufacturing industries across India, including plastics and extrusion, plus heavy industrial projects (steel, cement, oil refinery) where the company provides on-site erection and commissioning. Revenue is generated through one-time custom panel sales, project-based on-site services, recurring Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), and export projects for specialty industrial applications. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no digital channels beyond a basic website. The business is founder-controlled and family-operated, led by Vishnu Salunke (Electronics Engineer) and Pratik Salunke (Electronics & Telecommunication graduate), with the next generation explicitly tasked with future expansion. No external funding, partnerships beyond component supply relationships, certifications, patents, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed in the available data.
