The Pondicherry-based garage equipment maker Manatec has launched a battery of new products at the Auto Expo Component Show (Hall 6, Stall No. 43).

The big launch is of the Jumbo 3D multi-axle wheel aligner  which is targeted at commercial vehicle maintenance workshops. This equipment can simultaneously handle alignment for five-axle trucks and saves one-third of the time taken in conventional machines.

The second product is the Genie 3D which has been developed by Manatec in India for aligning wheels of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This innovative 3D wheel aligner in-built lift not only saves space but is extremely user friendly, claims the company. Other new products include a tyre pressure monitoring gauge and an AC gas charger.

Manatec says it has been regularly upgrading its technology by introducing various model ranges to suit customer needs. The company, aided by its local R&D team, offers customised solutions to OEMs and other customers. The company has over 60 business associates spread across India and over 50 distributors worldwide, along with over 300 technical and marketing professionals.

On the export front, the company will be entering the US market this year. It already supplies to 55 countries worldwide. 

Speaking to Autocar Professional today, R Mananathan, chairman of Manatec Electronics, said that he is immensely pleased with the visitor response at the Components Show. On the first day, the company stall saw over 50 business visitors make enquiries. He expects to meet over 500 visitors by the time the country’s largest automotive trade fair gets over on February 7.
