Enhancing Stability and Savings with Advanced Anti-Vibration Mounts
Challenge
Our client, a well-established industrial machinery company, sought to elevate their product offering by sourcing high-performance anti-vibration mounts (AVMs) for their gensets and heavy machinery. They had been sourcing from another market but were exploring ways to optimize their supply chain, improve lead times, and leverage cost benefits. Their goal was simple: find a partner who could provide AVMs with outstanding vibration control, durability, and oil resistance—without compromising on quality or design.
Dialogue-Driven Narrative
Client: “Does VIA INDIGOS have experience with anti-vibration mounts? We’re looking for a solution that can offer robust vibration control and withstand challenging environments. And of course, we want to make sure it’s cost-effective.”
VIA INDIGOS: “Absolutely! We’re actually known for producing AVM pads with exceptional vibration control, achieving levels as low as 6 microns. We use high-grade Japanese rubber for its durability and resilience, which ensures oil resistance and long-term performance.”
Hearing the client’s needs, our team at VIA INDIGOS immediately got to work. Our manufacturing and procurement teams collaborated to ensure we’d not only meet the client’s specifications but add value to every aspect of the product. Through internal discussions, we evaluated the best materials and production techniques, aiming for precision and longevity.
VIA INDIGOS Manufacturing Team: “We recommend Japanese-grade rubber for this project. It’s exceptionally resistant to oil and provides the durability needed for heavy-duty applications. Plus, we can design it for enhanced aesthetics, so the final product looks as refined as it performs.”
After aligning on materials and design, we presented a detailed proposal, including a timeline and cost breakdown, which illustrated how India’s competitive tariffs would provide additional savings.
Client: “This sounds great. Faster lead times, better tariffs, and a durable product—what about logistics and overall supply chain management?”
VIA INDIGOS: “Our team on the ground in India will manage every step of the process, from production to delivery. You’ll have complete visibility at each stage, making it easier to coordinate with your teams. With our streamlined supply chain, you’ll benefit from faster lead times and greater transparency.”
Solution and Impact
Our engineers enhanced the AVM design to provide vibration control at less than 6 microns—a performance metric that surpassed standard expectations. The Japanese-grade rubber added durability and oil resistance, ensuring the mounts would thrive in demanding environments. We also refined the design for a sleek look that complemented the client’s high-performance machinery.
With VIA INDIGOS handling the entire process in India, the client gained end-to-end visibility and control, eliminating uncertainties around production timelines and costs. By shifting their sourcing to India, the client enjoyed $113,000 in annual savings thanks to favorable tariffs and efficient supply chain management.
Client: “This partnership really gives us what we were looking for, high quality, reduced costs, and a transparent, reliable supply chain.”
VIA INDIGOS: “We’re here to make sourcing easier and more efficient for you. With our team managing everything locally, you can focus on expanding your business, knowing your AVM supply is in expert hands.”
