Sanfield India Limited was established in India by the Rajwani Family in the year 1994, right in the year of liberalization. 

Dr. Manmohan Singh revolutionized India's economy

On an initial stage, we started with the manufacturing of Expansion Joints for Bridges and Buildings under Sanfield Industries Limited, Hong Kong. In late 90s, the Indian market was able to adapt to the latest technologies. That’s where we started with the trading of raw materials from foreign countries mainly USA, China, Thailand and other European countries and manufactured the finished goods here in our Govindpura Plant, Bhopal. This growth was followed by adding the Design of bearings and production under technical collaboration with Granor Rubber and Engineering Private Limited, Australia in 1998.

Year 2000 was a remarkable year for Sanfield India Limited. With the arduous efforts of our laborious team, we introduced the 1st ever Shock Transmission Unit (STU) in the Indian Project. Another noteworthy achievement for Team Sanfield was to become the first company in its field to obtain an ISO 9001:2015 certification in year 2002, followed by a “CE and an EN 1090 Factory Production control certification”.

These certifications ensure the products are manufactured with the highest quality standards.

Sanfield India has always tried to bring the best of technologies for Indian Civil Industry. We were the first company in India to introduce the test press machine for the testing of bearings and expansion joints, with a capacity of measuring 1000 tons in one go. 

In the year 2010, after merging with the ‘technological’ market leader Maurer SE, we were able to achieve the distinction in supplying the world’s largest MSM Spherical bearing to the Indian project - Signature Bridge, Delhi. Since then, spherical bearings have become the household name in Bridge Infrastructure.

And that’s how the one room office setup grew to become one of the largest Bearing and Expansion Joint manufacturing unit in India, employing more than 350+ people. 

 

Apart from this prestigious project, Sanfield has been a supplier in many leading projects of the country. We have offered rehabilitation services to P.V Narasimha Rao Expressway in Telangana, supplied a large number of elastomeric bearings to Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) project, supplied Architectural expansion joints to Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), offered MSM Spherical bearings for NCRTC project and Bogibeel Bridge – Assam, Sonic tubes to High speed rail project, Large quantity of Couplers to Central Vista Redevelopment Project and several other similar projects.

While Sanfield was climbing the height of success, there were lot many challenges faced by the production team. The competition in the market was rising. Companies started adapting new technologies and the demand and supply of products were on peak. 

Here, the manpower of Sanfield played a huge role. Combining their technical skills with the advanced machineries ensured large scale production along with timely delivery of finished goods. The company replaced the existing technologies used in the Indian civil engineering industry with the state of the art techniques brought in from all over the world through different collaborations. Thus, Sanfield rightly earned the “Made in India” tag.

Every product of Sanfield is tested on each stage of production so as to ensure the maximum quality of final goods. Hence, the Company soon surpassed the rough tides and emerged as one of the leading company in its sector. 

Sanfield family has always believed in constant growth. We are now exporting and catering to the markets of USA, China and few European countries. Gradually, with the increasing demand, the company started supplying the products to South-Asian and South-East Asian countries and even to Australia and New Zealand. Thus, becoming one the major export leaders of Civil engineering industry in the world. 

Few of our noted projects are Red line metro -Thailand, Macau airport – Macau, Allianz Arena – Germany, Danube City Tower Vienna – Austria, Izmit Bay Bridge – Turkey, Socar Tower Baku – Azerbaijan and many more. Not only this, Sanfield has also expanded its reach towards middle-eastern countries and supplied Expansion joints for a reputed project in Kuwait.

From beginning the production capacity with 100 running meters per month to reaching a capacity of 5000 running meters and approx. 2500 bearings per month - the company has come a long way while establishing two production houses of its own – One located in the Govindpura Industrial sector and the other one in Bagroda , Madhya Pardesh . 

Sanfield’s success story is a result of the company’s devoted employees and staff who have been equally instrumental in helping the company to achieve such heights. Mr. Mahesh Rajwani, along with the support of his family and staff, have nurtured this company into a big fruit bearing tree, which now supports families of hundreds of people that are a part of this group.
