Kilburn Engineering Limited , a leading Indian manufacturer of process equipment and industrial drying systems, has signed a definitive Master Agreement with Komline-Sanderson Corporation (KSC), a New Jersey-based global provider of process and environmental equipment. Under the agreement, Kilburn will deliver manufacturing, engineering, field, and sales representation services to KSC, combining Kilburn’s expertise in process equipment with Komline-Sanderson’s international reach. The collaboration is expected to enhance service capabilities for global customers while introducing advanced drying and process technologies to India.
The agreement between the two companies outlines a strategic collaboration focused on manufacturing, engineering, field services, and market representation. At the core of the partnership is an exclusive manufacturing arrangement in which Kilburn will produce turbo dryers and paddle dryers for KSC. These advanced drying systems play a vital role in several industries—such as food and agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, minerals, and biomass—where efficient and reliable drying processes are crucial to product quality and operational performance.
As part of the agreement, Kilburn will also provide comprehensive engineering services to support KSC’s global projects. This includes detailed design and planning using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools, ensuring that every project adheres to international engineering and safety standards. This collaboration will enhance project execution efficiency and consistency across different regions.
In addition to design and manufacturing, Kilburn will deliver field services that cover the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of KSC equipment. These services will be offered not only in India but also in international markets, reinforcing Kilburn’s role as a full-service partner in the lifecycle management of KSC’s products.
Another significant element of the agreement is Kilburn’s designation as KSC’s official sales representative in India for turbo dryers and rotary atomizers. This role positions Kilburn to actively promote and sell KSC’s advanced drying technologies within the Indian market, expanding both companies’ reach and influence in a region with strong industrial demand.
Together, these key features of the agreement demonstrate a robust and multi-dimensional partnership. By combining Kilburn’s manufacturing expertise and regional presence with KSC’s technological capabilities, the collaboration is poised to deliver high-quality solutions to customers across multiple industries and geographies.
