Embarking on an enlightening industrial visit to Howrah and Belgachia on March 15, 2023, with our esteemed teachers and friends proved to be an enriching experience. The focal point of our first exploration was Gem International, a manufacturing facility specializing in the production of railway suspension clamps, NFC stendors, and suspension cables.
Established two decades ago, Gem International caters to small and medium-sized suppliers. The factory boasts a diverse range of machinery, operating efficiently to ensure the production of high-quality goods. Notably, the facility adopts an automatic dice for streamlined manufacturing.
Intriguingly, Gem International imports goods from China, but our observation revealed a stark difference in quality. While the Chinese products cost approximately 22 rupees per piece, Gem International offers a competitive price of around 15 rupees per piece. The factory’s investment in a state-of-the-art machinery set, amounting to nearly 1 crore, showcases their commitment to modern manufacturing practices.
A noteworthy aspect is the eco-friendly nature of the industry, emphasizing a pollution-free production process. With a 3-person labor requirement per machine, Gem International contributes to employment opportunities while maintaining a sustainable working environment.
Operating under an 18% GST on the cost, Gem International strategically positions itself in the market, ensuring profitability. Our industrial visit not only exposed us to the intricacies of manufacturing but also highlighted the significance of quality and efficiency in the competitive business landscape.

The factory strategically employs generators to power their manufacturing processes, ensuring a seamless and efficient production cycle.
