WHAT WE DO / NON-AUTOMOTIVE
An insatiable urge for constant improvement beats at the heart of the Alicon Group. This inspired us to diversify beyond the automotive sector, forge new partnerships and set new benchmarks in a host of non-automotive sectors.

We don’t just add value, we create it.
DEFENCE
The Indian Defence Ministry was indigenising the Russian Battle Tank when we developed aluminium alloy wheels that delivered a weight saving of 5 tons per tank. This doubled the tank’s top speed from around 30 kmph to 65 kmph. We’re currently working on refinements that will boost the top speed to 90 kmph.
For the T-72 Bridge Layer Tanks, Alicon developed a ventilator to cool the tanks better. These special fans were earlier being developed using Sand Casting, before we stepped in and used Low Pressure Die Casting, resulting in substantial improvements.

ENERGY
Components in this sector are usually made using Sand Casting, but we pioneered making them using Gravity Die Casting. This lowered defects and raised consistency which caught Siemens’ attention. They came to us to make large quantities of components through the Gravity Die Casting method. Today, we make eight times their original order size and they are one of our biggest customers in this sector.

LOCOMOTIVE
The German Railway Ministry chose Alicon to supply components for critical braking systems. This is a notable achievement because these systems demand zero defect tolerance, which the discerning Germans trusted us to deliver.
